IDF reinforces troops in southern Lebanon: the concern worrying senior officials

The IDF is reinforcing troops in southern Lebanon ahead of the holidays and reducing leave, amid assessments that Hezbollah is rebuilding capabilities and preparing for guerrilla operations. The 91st Division is preparing for the fog season, which complicates defense.

The IDF is reinforcing its troops in southern Lebanon ahead of the holiday period and reducing leave following intelligence assessments that Hezbollah is covertly rebuilding its capabilities and preparing for guerrilla operations. The IDF says the working assumption is that Hezbollah has not ended its fighting against Israel and intends to continue operating, mainly by planting explosive devices and operating explosive drones, and does not rule out an attempt to raid a military post. The 91st Division views the holiday period as a complex operational period, consolidating defense and strengthening force deployments. Additionally, preparations are underway for the fog season that comes with the change of seasons, which complicates observation and patrols in problematic areas.
