Each event bounces off the forces in the full sector with weak points.

In the shadow of the tension, the Galilee formation, led by Brigadier General Binder, is preparing for the day when Hezbollah will try to infiltrate an IDF post and use the best tools to thwart this.

Brigadier General Binder began his service in the General Staff Reconnaissance Regiment, and as the commander of a young team in the unit, he operated as part of special operations in southern Lebanon and looked Hezbollah operatives in the white. According to veterans of the unit, has been so prominent and it was clear the environment is a matter of time before the officer brave and creative in complex situations come to the "great army" to reach the top of the IDF.

Second Lebanon War he led a Company Commander complex operations in Lebanon. Later he received command A walnut unit built to deal with the threat posed by Lebanon in the forests and in underground excavations.

In May 2013, he fulfilled an aspiration and was appointed commander of the General Staff patrol.

Since August 2019, when he was appointed commander of the Galilee Designation, he has been walking with the idea of Hezbollah's plan to occupy the Galilee, unveiled by Hassan Nasrallah, the organization's insurgents. Gathering intelligence about the IDF's activities in the area in order to carry out targeted attacks - is the little money.

Brigadier General Binder knows that his big test will be in dealing with the infiltration of Hezbollah's elite Radwan force into Israeli territory in order to occupy IDF outposts and Israeli settlements.

This is while the budget available to renew border protections is meager and what is required is to exercise creativity on the ground.

"At this point it requires activism and thinking outside the box," said a senior reserve officer in the Northern Command. "Everyone thinks he is indifferent to the environment, but I stood by him in stressful situations and complex moments. General Staff patrol.

A lot of trickery. "

A cold-blooded officer.

Since January 2020, the design of the Galilee has been dealing with the influx of foreign workers from Lebanon into Israel, and everyone is caught in the border area.

In the first case, it was a foreign worker who crossed the fence and reached the nearby village of Aramsha, where he was arrested and later released in the heart of Tel Aviv.

Enforcement and security forces arose as the outbreak of foreign workers intensified, and it was decided to create a legal framework through which the infiltrators would be expelled back to Lebanon.

The pattern of action is similar: they come from Lebanon in pairs, and sometimes in quintiles, exploiting vulnerabilities on the border and dead areas for observation and penetrating the fence, which was built in the 1970s.

In 2020, ten attempts were made to infiltrate Israel, during which 21 people were arrested.

In the first half of 2021, seven attempts were made to cross 16 foreign nationals.

In May, during Operation Wall Guard, eight Lebanese crossed the border during a violent riot, the IDF fired at them and killed a Hezbollah operative.

Apart from the exceptional shooting case, most of the infiltrators are jobseekers from countries in Africa, who come through Jordan and Syria to Lebanon. Therefore, the intrusion of the two Turks from Lebanon this week caused a backlash in the IDF. Seconds after the intrusion, they identified the IDF forces in the area and lay down in the thicket. 18 hours later, when they thought the IDF had already given up, they left the hiding place, marched in the field and then along the road. The movement helped the Galilee-shaped scouts track down and arrest them. Their investigation revealed that they had previously worked in Israel, "They arrived in Lebanon, started working in Beirut, but when they were fired because of the economic crisis in the country, they decided to infiltrate Israel.

" The economic situation in Lebanon is catastrophic, "said a security source. Six hours of electricity a day. "Due to the economic situation, the infiltrators were fired and began looking for work."A well-oiled system of drivers and field guides brings the infiltrators to the border and directs them how to cross.

At this point, UNIFIL and the Lebanese army are not really thwarting the events from the Lebanese side, and are ignoring the phenomenon. There are also quite a few military officials who estimate that Hezbollah also has a hand in the transportation and infiltration system. This is due to the work to cross Shiite villages and roads. To the border, this must pass through the scrutinizing eyes of the Shiite loyalists of Nasrallah, so the great fear is that through the infiltrators' attempts, Hezbollah forces in the area are learning the IDF's weaknesses at the border so that a decision can be made to carry out an infiltration attack.

The difficult economic situation in Lebanon is also reflected at the strategic level: the debt-to-GDP ratio is already 200% and is only continuing to rise. The unstable Lebanese pound has recently jumped to 20,000 pounds for one dollar, dropping to 11,000 pounds. The defense establishment defines cedar land as insolvent. Just this week, Nasrallah said that if the Lebanese government failed to import the fuel needed to operate the power stations, Hezbollah would bring the fuel from Iran. This unusual statement joins Hezbollah's initiative to set up a supermarket chain with subsidized products for Shiites only and ATMs while banks collapse under the public's threat to withdraw its money.

Added to this is the fact that the Lebanese are failing to form a government.

Against the background of these negative processes, a dialogue is taking place in the defense system in Israel.

The Northern Command believes that the situation in Lebanon is a restraining factor, but there are quite a few sources who claim that the Middle East shows that when it is bad for a certain area, and has not too much to lose, it can go overboard and provoke the environment.

At the same time, Hezbollah continues on its own.

Unobstructed, he is present in the border area, collects intelligence and challenges the IDF. He leads engineering projects in the heart of the villages, some openly. On the subject that this is an activity to gather intelligence.

However, the international community ignores.

But Brigadier General Binder is not sitting still either. With the little budget allocated to him, he is trying to reorganize the space. He cuts hills and mountains using engineering tools to create obstacles, places a double and sometimes triple curl fence to delay penetration attempts at vulnerabilities, thickens security components around settlements For fear of infiltration, he establishes training facilities that simulate Hezbollah infiltration and combat complexes, and recently began establishing elite reserve forces with high-quality equipment and weapons that will address infiltration into communities in real time. border.

senior reserve officer program protecting the exposed northern border said that as long as Israel did not pass the budget, which is estimated about three billion of which NIS 230 million planted space problem, the decision of the government, the country will continue to rely on the creativity of commanders like Gen. Binder.
