In a video interview, the commander of the Israeli Nahal Brigade described the intensity of combat in southern Lebanon, stating his troops 'didn't dare raise our heads' during the fighting. He detailed the extremely challenging terrain, with troops fighting in a flood where mud was 'as high as the tank's turret' and in dense fog during the first days of the operation. The commander noted that while it wasn't easy even for veterans, the troops adapted and learned to operate effectively in the mud by the second and third day. The commanders also refuse to call the area a 'security zone,' preferring the term 'security space,' which will feature fewer static posts, more mobile forces, and a policy of not allowing the civilian population to return.
