Reserve Brigadier General Yossi Kuperwasser says the IDF has achieved impressive results in Lebanon but has not yet finished the mission, noting that the prime minister has also repeated this view. He said Israel must consolidate its security hold in southern Lebanon and ensure it does not leave before Hezbollah is disarmed.
Reserve Brigadier General Yossi Kuperwasser said Wednesday that the IDF's achievements in Lebanon are impressive but the mission is not complete, echoing assessments previously reported by The Zioneer from other military figures. In a statement carried by Channel 14, he said Israel must secure southern Lebanon and avoid withdrawing before Hezbollah is disarmed. Kuperwasser's remarks add to a series of similar statements by senior reservists and officials over the past two weeks, including Brig. Gen. (res.) Harel Knapho and former chief of staff Gadi Eisenkot, who separately argued that disarmament remains elusive. Kuperwasser offered no timeline or operational detail on how the objective would be reached.
