As Northern Israel Comes Back to Life, Hizbullah Strongholds over the Border Lie in Ruins
(Times of Israel) Lazar Berman - The IDF offensive beginning in October drove Hizbullah back from Israel's northern border. Israeli troops searched the border villages and detonated any building used by Hizbullah for military purposes. While the Israeli side of the border slowly dusts itself off after 14 months of shelling, it is hard to imagine any semblance of normal life returning to Lebanese border towns in the coming years as many have been flattened. "Every village that was actually a military village, we dealt with it as they should be dealt with," said Brig.-Gen. Shai Klepper. "We destroyed the operatives and the infrastructure." He made clear that every building that housed a Hizbullah fighter, weapons cache or tunnel was knocked down.
