Necessity of Conflict with Hizbullah Gains Traction among U.S. Defense Officials
(i24News) Inon Shalom Yttach - Israeli sources say more U.S. defense officials are convinced that a wider conflict in the north is necessary to solve the security equation with Hizbullah. U.S. Central Command commander Gen. Michael Kurilla visited Israel's Northern Command last month where he received a situation assessment. He viewed the need for action himself and understood the urgency to bring back the residents evacuated nearly a year ago from northern Israel. The aim is to deny Hizbullah's capabilities close to the border and the threat of tunnels located near the border.
