Choking Hizbullah in Lebanon
(Ynet News) Elisha Ben Kimon - The ceasefire agreement in Lebanon, announced Friday, does not mark the end of the IDF campaign. The IDF has been seizing key positions meant to deny Hizbullah the vast strategic assets it has built over decades in southern Lebanon. While the advance of its forces has been halted, the IDF is firmly established inside the "forward defense area," a dominant strategic strip from which it does not intend to move backward. The territory it holds gives the IDF fire control around two Hizbullah centers of gravity: Nabatieh in the eastern sector and the Tyre Valley in the western sector.
