Last July, a skimmer was shot down during an IDF operation on the northern border. In this case, too, the IDF emphasized that there was no fear of information leaks.
Hezbollah immediately claimed responsibility and claimed that they had overthrown it, while today the Lebanese army was quick to take responsibility within an hour and a half from the moment the glider fell.
All this, shortly after the extension of UNIFIL's activity by unanimous vote at the UN.
At the same time, Hezbollah continues to threaten to carry out a revenge attack it has promised over the next few weeks, and the defense establishment estimates that it will try to carry it out before Rosh Hashanah.
In light of this, the high alert along the northern border is maintained, but with the exception of point centers, the IDF will not increase its forces in the north at this stage.
The assessment in the army, which is strengthened after Hassan Nasrallah's speech on Sunday last week, is that Hezbollah is determined to carry out the attack even before the Tishrei holidays.
The IDF does not know for sure in which outline the attack will be carried out, but it does not rule out the possibility of rocket fire at the Har Dov sector, an attack in the outline of an attempted infiltration, anti-tank fire, anti-tank fire and more.
