Hillel Bitton Rosen, a senior Israeli commentator and former military figure, responded Monday to Prime Minister Netanyahu regarding the restrictions on Israeli fire in the north. His remarks were posted on social media.
Hillel Bitton Rosen responded on Monday to Prime Minister Netanyahu amid ongoing debate over restrictions on Israeli military operations in southern Lebanon. The specific content of his response was not detailed in available reports. Bitton Rosen has been an outspoken critic of what he sees as overly restrictive rules of engagement that leave troops exposed while limiting their ability to respond to threats. As The Zioneer reported on June 17, he previously stated that commanders must raise a red flag over the dangerous fire restrictions, and on June 16, he called for either lifting the limits entirely or withdrawing forces. The exchange comes against a backdrop of continued rocket fire from Hezbollah toward northern Israel, as documented in prior bulletins, and a public acknowledgment by Netanyahu that Israel's operations in southern Lebanon are constrained.
