IDF International Cooperation Unit Deals with Daily Challenges on Northern Border
(Jerusalem Post) Anna Ahronheim - Brig.-Gen. Erez Maisel is retiring as commander of the IDF's International Cooperation Unit. All communication with UN and Lebanese armed forces (LAF) on Israel's northern border is done through Maisel. Tripartite meetings with the UN and the LAF have been held regularly since 2006. Maisel said, "I don't consider the LAF as my enemy, and neither do they." Nevertheless there are "elements of the LAF who are definitely collaborating with Hizbullah. It's not all LAF soldiers, but Lebanese Hizbullah has full dominance in south Lebanon."
