IDF says deserted border post was evacuated ahead of Hezbollah attack
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAfter a reporter with the Russian network RT walked into the deserted IDF post at Avivim that was struck yesterday by Hezbollah missiles, the IDF confirms the post was evacuated a few days before the attack.
“This was a post on the border line that was classified last week as a threatened position,” the IDF spokesperson’s unit says in a statement to the press.
“It was therefore evacuated during the week, and the forces defended the area from the rear line. The contents of the post were removed and there is no concern of information leakage” from the reporter’s visit.
