A retired IDF major general (res.) expressed concern Thursday evening that the political and military echelons are not fully grasping the situation and urged an accelerated pace of strikes in southern Lebanon, according to a statement posted by the general.
A retired IDF major general (res.) on Thursday evening called on Israel's political and military leadership to intensify the pace of strikes in southern Lebanon. The general said he hopes the leadership understands what is happening and will accelerate operations against Hezbollah infrastructure in the area. The statement is the latest in a series of public comments from retired security figures weighing in on the pace of the campaign. The Zioneer has previously reported on an apparent decline in the IDF's strike tempo across southern Lebanon, as noted by regional sources on June 12. The general's remarks appear to align with concerns about the current operational rhythm, though the source of the statement did not provide details on any specific intelligence or operational assessment. The call comes as the IDF continues its broader campaign against Hezbollah in the region, with ongoing strikes reported across multiple villages.
