Israel continues to reinforce its military capabilities ahead of a potential conflict with Lebanon. Following the deployment of the “Mountain Brigade,” known as Heharim, to the regions of Mount Hermon and Mount Dov along the southeastern border with Lebanon, Tel Aviv has resumed its military training activities in the northern sector. This training aims to enhance the readiness of Israeli forces not only for potential hostilities on the northern border, but also on other fronts in case of long-term combats. Israeli army spokesperson Daniel Hagari made this announcement during the resumption of this training program.
As reported by the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, Hagari clarified, “This entails planning and executing operational models and scenarios tailored to the specific characteristics of various regions and threats.” He further added, “The training regimen will include extensive long-range strikes and flying deep into enemy territory.”
As reported by Haaretz, he emphasized, “The depth of Lebanon is turning into a war zone,” highlighting that “Hezbollah has escalated tensions by launching nearly 110 rockets into Israel over the past two days.” When asked about the prospect of restoring calm along the Lebanese border, the Israeli army spokesperson replied, “Maybe an agreement on a hostage and prisoner exchange with Gaza could contribute to reaching another agreement with Lebanon as well, but so far, the conditions for reaching an agreement with Hezbollah have not been met.”
