Litani River

Israel must hold territory up to the Litani River and ensure security “at all costs,” Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu told The Jerusalem Post amid concerns over the Iran deal.

IDF assessments have determined that they can't fully disarm the terror organization but can push them back far enough into Lebanon to significantly reduce the risk to Israeli citizens.

Trump, Netanyahu, and Hezbollah are locked in a cycle of conflict that offers no easy answers for Israel.

It was further stated that “under US guidance, the two sides agreed to move quickly toward establishing pilot zones in which the Lebanese army will have exclusive control over the area."

Shlomo Argov survived the London shooting attack but remained paralyzed, while Israel launched a campaign that expelled the PLO and set the stage for Iran's Islamic regime to establish Hezbollah.

“Before I am a brigade commander, I am a soldier," Shamaka said. "And I remember the feelings of a soldier at moments like these."

The military said that soldiers from the Givati Brigade established positions within the areas of Zawtar al-Sharqiya and Zawtar al-Gharbiyah, in an effort to protect northern Israel communities.

The IDF also announced on Sunday morning that its ground troops had taken over the Beaufort Ridge outpost and Wadi al-Saluki areas beyond the Litani River

Aside from a smaller fortification present at the site of the current Beaufort Castle, little else is known about the site prior to its capture by the Crusader forces.

From such high ground, the IDF can improve observation, strengthen forward defense of Israeli communities, and complicate Hezbollah’s efforts to move fighters, anti-tank teams, and snipers.
