Gen. Amidror: The Changes to the Situation in Israel's North Are "Historic"


(JNS) Yaakov Lappin - The Israel Defense Forces has fundamentally reshaped its enforcement policy against Hizbullah's activities in Lebanon, marking a significant departure from the pre-war status quo, an IDF official told JNS on Monday. "The situation we were in before Oct. 6, [2023], where Hizbullah could erect a tent on the border and we would think about it, is no more," said the official. In addition to retaining for the foreseeable future five positions in Lebanese territory following its withdrawal from Southern Lebanon as part of the Nov. 27, 2024, ceasefire with Lebanon, Israel has been working steadily to enforce the truce. Maj.-Gen. (res.) Yaakov Amidror, a former Israeli national security adviser, said Sunday, "The situation in the north is totally different than what it was at the beginning of the war," describing the changes to the situation in the north as "historic."
