The commander of the Israeli Nahal Brigade has described the intense threat from Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, stating his troops "did not dare to raise our heads in our operational area" during battles. He cited Hezbollah's extensive use of drones and anti-armor missiles as the primary reason for this situation, which severely restricted Israeli troop movements. The admission, reported by the Hebrew newspaper Maariv, highlights the tactical challenges faced by the IDF in the ongoing conflict. This comes as the IDF has reportedly restored a security zone in the region, indicating a shift to a more defensive posture in response to these threats.
