IDF Accelerates Destruction of Hizbullah Infrastructure in Southern Lebanon
(Jerusalem Post) Amir Bohbot - The IDF is increasing its pace of destroying Hizbullah's terror infrastructure in southern Lebanon, focusing on its strongholds in Shi'ite villages which sit along strategic routes and ridges. The IDF has uncovered countless facilities used by thousands of terrorists as shelters for extended periods, allowing them to emerge from hidden positions and surprise Israeli forces. The IDF is also working to open new routes to provide easier access to operational areas, improve force security, and enable faster supply deliveries. Israeli security officials claim that the Lebanese army has so far failed to fulfill understandings mediated by the U.S. They claim the Lebanese army fears Hizbullah and is therefore not moving quickly to locate and destroy terrorist infrastructure.
