IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi visited the northern border on Wednesday following the morning’s deadly Hezbollah attack on an IDF base in northern Tzfas.
Halevi, accompanied by the head of the Northern Command, Maj. Gen. Ori Gordin, and the commander of the 91st Galilee Division, Brigadier-General Shay Klapper, held a situational assessment and discussion with the reserve commanders on the border. They also visited Metula and held a meeting with the heads of the northern yishuvim.
“I want you know one thing,” Halevi said. “We’re not finishing here until we bring back the residents to Metula and all the residents of the northern yishuvim – on a very high level of security.”
“We’re now focused on preparing for war. Ultimately, we’ll be ready for war. If it ends without a war, we won’t compromise on our achievements. We’ll post back all their forces and there will be quiet and stability here and the residents will be able to return. Will it happen tomorrow? Apparently not. It will take some time.”

Who chose this Halevi for Chief of Staff? There’s got to be more competent people available.
אלה ברכב ואלה בסוסים ואנחנו בשם ה’ אלוקינו נזכיר
Please have those apikorsim train the commanders and the soldiers that before they go out to war they should pray to hashem for their success and their safe return
Bklyntrucker, sounds like you know your stuff maybe you should apply.
Why do senior commanders, Chief of Staff, etc wear machine guns? Are they expecting to have to start shooting?
emesayid- before you start labeling yeiden who are risking their lives so we can do mitzvos in Eretz Yisroel as ‘apikorsim’ -PLEASE ensure YOU always write Hashem- with a capital H !!!!!!!!!!
