As tensions are high between Israel and the Lebanese Hezbollah terror group, the chief of the Israel Defense Forces tours the northern border and holds an assessment with senior officers.
In a statement, the IDF says Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi held an assessment with the head of the Northern Command, Maj. Gen. Ori Gordin, and the commander of the 91st Regional Brigade, Brig. Gen. Shai Kalper.
The senior officers showed Halevi “the activity of IDF forces along the border, including the reinforcement of the forces,” the military says.
“The chief of staff noted the readiness and vigilance of the forces, and the importance of maintaining the daily lives of the residents of the north,” the IDF adds.
In recent months, Hezbollah has instigated several “provocations” along the northern border that have raised tensions.
