The tragic loss of Maj. Birenstock and Sgt. Maj. Vaknin serves as a somber reminder that a 'ceasefire' on paper does not eliminate the physical lethality of the ground in southern Lebanon. Hezbollah’s strategy of booby-trapping civilian homes remains the primary threat to our reservists as they work to ensure the safety of northern communities. While diplomats meet in Rome to discuss the future of the border, the IDF's immediate retaliatory strikes demonstrate that Israel will not tolerate the use of the ceasefire as a shield for continued terror tactics.
