Israeli army chief assesses situation on Lebanese border
Israeli army chief Eyal Zamir conducted an assessment of the situation on the border with Lebanon on Sunday “in preparation for the (Jewish) holidays,” the Israeli army said.
He was accompanied by the chief of the Northern Command, the commander of the 91st Division and other commanders.
During the tour, Zamir “reviewed the operational plans for the next phases, both defensively and offensively,” the Israeli army said.
“We will continue the battle to strengthen defensive efforts and demonstrate initiative and offensive spirit. We must strengthen reserve soldiers at all levels,” Zamir said.
The Israeli army chief also made instructions that the Israeli army “does not allow (Israeli) citizens to tour beyond the international border, but only within the territory of the State of Israel and in places where tours had been organized in the past based on the security situation.”
