Veteran commentator Chaim Cohen wrote early Friday morning that while Israel's leadership is consumed by political infighting, the fighters on the ground remain committed. In his post, he describes them as 'holy fighters' and asserts the campaign in Lebanon is not over despite political distractions.
In a post published on Telegram early Friday morning (01:56 Jerusalem time), Israeli commentator Chaim Cohen offered a blunt assessment of the situation on the Lebanon front. Cohen wrote that 'the story is not over' in Lebanon, criticizing the political echelon for being preoccupied with internal politics and infighting while 'in the field, the fighters are holy [and] dedicated.' He described Lebanon as a 'crazy country.' The post echoes similar sentiments from other Israeli commentators in recent weeks, including Hillel Bitton Rosen, who has repeatedly criticized what he sees as overly restrictive rules of engagement for IDF troops in southern Lebanon. Cohen did not provide new operational details or cite specific military actions, meaning the post represents a personal analysis rather than a breaking development. The comment comes amid ongoing military operations in southern Lebanon and public debate over the campaign's progress.
