Eli Alon, a resident of the northern border town of Shlomi, said Monday that the security situation is now "wonderful," crediting the IDF for a transformation over the past three years that allowed him to walk "with head held high."
Eli Alon, a resident of Shlomi — a town on the border with Lebanon — offered a personal assessment of the security situation along the northern front. In remarks carried by Israeli media, Alon said the current state is "wonderful," contrasting it with the fear he felt three years ago. He credited the IDF directly, saying the military's work "changed everything" and allowed residents to move freely with confidence. The statement reflects a local, civilian perspective on the IDF's ongoing operations in southern Lebanon and its impact on communities that were heavily affected by Hezbollah attacks and rocket fire in the early phases of the war.
