A single source reports that Israeli soldiers operating inside Lebanon say their rules of engagement have changed, with troops comparing their situation to being 'like ducks' — suggesting they feel exposed to enemy fire without adequate authorization to respond. The exact nature of the change is not specified.
A single source — the source — reported Wednesday night that Israeli troops operating in Lebanon are describing a change in their rules of engagement. Soldiers are quoted saying they feel "like ducks," implying they are exposed and unable to fire back freely. The source does not specify who altered the rules, when the change occurred, or what the new constraints are. The report follows earlier criticism of engagement restrictions in southern Lebanon, as noted by The Zioneer at 21:26, but the current claim of an actual shift in policy is unattributed and unverified.
