IDF Says Lebanese Army Improving Anti-Hizbullah Enforcement
(Jerusalem Post) Yonah Jeremy Bob - The extent of the destruction of villages in southern Lebanon is expected to delay the return of Hizbullah to Israel's northern border. IDF sources said that, in some parts of southern Lebanon, 20-30% of Lebanese civilians have returned to their homes four months after the ceasefire with Israel. Sources also said the Lebanese Army has significantly improved its anti-Hizbullah enforcement activities in the area. Sources said the Lebanese response to IDF reports of lower-grade Hizbullah violations of the ceasefire in southern Lebanon has led to around 500 enforcement actions by the Lebanese. At the same time, the IDF has killed over 120 Hizbullah fighters since the ceasefire, showing that Israeli military enforcement in parallel to the Lebanese military will be necessary for some time.
