IDF chief: Thanks to 2006 war, we have quiet on northern border
Gadi Eisenkot hails Israel’s successes in the 2006 Second Lebanon War against Hezbollah, saying they brought a decade of quiet on the country’s northern border, Ynet reports.
“We are [enjoying] a decade of peace and deterrence in the north,” the IDF chief tells an event in central Israel to mark the 10th anniversary of the war. “I have no doubt that the main reason for the reality of the past decade is the use of force and the results of the war.”
