Documentation of the assassination of the commander of the rocket unit of the Western Sector in the Radwan force and another operative in the village of Donin in Lebanon/Dov IDF
One of the busiest days of the Northern Command since the beginning of the war - during which three senior Hezbollah field commanders were eliminated, including the commander of the coastal sector and a senior commander of the Radwan force who is responsible for launching rockets. Officials in the security establishment praised the work of the intelligence officials and the fire center in the Northern Command to carry out assassinations at a pace - despite Nasrallah's warnings to his men, the strictness of compartmentalization and the activity of Radwan Force fighters in Hezbollah as wanted in southern Lebanon.
Since the beginning of the war, the IDF has killed more than 280 Hezbollah operatives (according to the organization's count) not including annexes including Palestinian operatives, and Shiites from Syria or other areas.
In the background, the improvement of ground protection, the placement of mines, the upgrading of the border fence, engineering activity to prevent infiltration into the rear and destroying terrorist infrastructure within 10 km of the fence - dealing with Hezbollah's unmanned aerial vehicles has become one of the greatest challenges of the Israeli Air Force. This issue arouses criticism among the ground forces, more than half a year after the war began.
In the field of training, the commander of the Northern Command, Major General Uri Gordin, can score many merit points for himself, since during an intense war against the Shia organization - all the brigades designated for ground maneuver in Lebanon are still going through a significant training phase.
Officers from Division 36 clarified in a conversation with Walla! Because the scope and intensity of the live fire training is critical since the fighting in southern Lebanon will not be similar to the Gaza Strip, "we were explained that the scope of the aerial fire that was in the Gaza Strip will not be similar in any way to what will happen in Lebanon."
The commander of the ground arm, Major General Tamir Yedai, prepared in case the political echelon approves an extensive ground maneuver in Lebanon, directed the acceleration of the procurement processes of bulldozers, APCs, tanks, guns, shoulder-launched missiles, armored vehicles, ammunition in general and artillery in particular, including drones, vehicles suicide bombers and more.
In addition, the commander of the Northern Command placed a central emphasis on strengthening and practicing as much as possible the new concept of defense based on the lessons of the terrorist attack on October 7, which will include multi-organizational cooperation (Police, Magen David Adom and Fire Brigade).
