IDF: Troops Will Stay in South Lebanon Buffer Zone until Northern Israel Is Safe
(Ynet News) Elisha Ben Kimon - IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir visited southern Lebanon on Wednesday and said: "The mission assigned to us by the political echelon is to stand on the line that prevents direct fire on the communities [in northern Israel]. We will not tolerate attacks or fire on our communities, and we will not leave until security for the communities of the north is guaranteed over time." "We severely damaged Iran. We destroyed most components of Iran's defense industry, including the factories that manufacture weapons for Hizbullah." Addressing threats along Israel's borders, he said, "We changed the concept. We will not allow a terror army on our borders. We will not let them prepare - there is no containment, there is action. We will continue to remove threats wherever they emerge."
