IDF Outpost Reshaping Security in Southern Lebanon
(Ynet News) Yair Kraus - The IDF's Hamamis outpost in southern Lebanon, 4 km. (2.5 miles) from the Israeli border, is invisible from Israeli border communities, yet designed to monitor and protect them. The area is now patrolled by IDF infantry and air defense units. The military no longer views the border fence as a buffer against Hizbullah's potential resurgence. Instead, they wage a relentless campaign to wear down the terrorist group as it attempts to rebuild. Hizbullah's efforts to reestablish observation posts along the border have been thwarted, with the IDF neutralizing those involved in installing cameras or restoring sites. Hundreds of local raids by IDF units have crossed the border fence since the withdrawal, enforcing the ceasefire. Shepherds' flocks, once common near the border, have vanished, with anyone approaching suspected of being a terrorist and turned away.
