[84609] Reports of operational activity halt and policy change on the northern border
Growing reports of a significant change in IDF activity on the northern border, including a cessation of raids on weapons depots and the return of the Shiite population to villages in southern Lebanon.
Change in operational policy on the northern border
According to a report by Amit Segal, relying on information from soldiers in the field, a fundamental change has occurred in the activity patterns of IDF forces on the northern border. According to the report, "all activity has ceased, including entering houses suspected of being weapons depots," with entry into these structures now being carried out by gunfire only, without soldiers entering to perform searches.
In addition, the report notes that Shiite residents have returned to villages they had previously avoided, and there is an instruction or policy that imposes a "ban on acting against them." This information also appears in other channels, including 301 World Arab News, 🇮🇱News Channel 8200🇮🇱, 🎗️Israel News IL🎗️, and The News Arena.
The News Line, which defines itself as a news outlet providing coverage critical of the political echelon (the Prime Minister), also relayed the aforementioned report and noted that it relies on the publication by Amit Segal. The reports raise questions regarding the validity of the current security policy in the sector and its impact on military control in the border area.
