Bereaved families gathered in Jerusalem on Monday evening, calling on the government not to halt offensive operations in southern Lebanon or to accept temporary arrangements that do not ensure long-term security for northern residents and IDF troops. The families' statements come amid a ceasefire in Lebanon and continued casualties among soldiers stationed in the buffer zone.
Bereaved families from the 'Forum of Valor' held an emergency gathering at the 'Valor Encampment' in Jerusalem on Monday evening, delivering a pointed message to the government: do not halt the campaign until full victory is achieved.
Speakers — including fathers and mothers of fallen soldiers — called on the political echelon not to submit to external pressure or settle for what they described as fragile ceasefires that leave troops stationed in the buffer zone under threat. They expressed concern that recent operational achievements in the northern arena are being squandered by what they characterized as weak interim arrangements.
Several speakers explicitly mentioned that additional families have joined the circle of bereavement in recent days, and argued that halting operations before the mission is complete would render the sacrifices meaningless. The event was described as the first in a series of public actions the forum plans in the coming period.
