Israel Must Not Withdraw from Gaza and Lebanon Prematurely
(103FM-Jerusalem Post) IDF Col. (res.) Oren Zini warned Friday against any future agreement that would force the IDF to withdraw from its positions in Gaza and Lebanon before completing its missions. He said a policy shift now allows troops to operate in areas previously considered out of reach. "If in the past there was hesitation over whether to act, today everyone understands that policy permits it, and everyone realizes the heavy price paid when policy does not permit it." "The IDF has penetrated the enemy's most complex strongholds, against both Hamas and Hizbullah, in a way that is suffocating them from within." However, Zini cautioned that if we do not maintain our hold in these areas, the enemy will regroup and move fighters and weaponry back into position. "We were just one minute away from an Oct. 7 scenario on the northern border as well," he said.
