Lieutenant Colonel T., 37, married and a father of two, began his service as an intelligence NCO in 2003 in the Galilee. Four terrorists were killed and other Hezbollah forces withdrew to Lebanese territory.

"There was an alert, there were reinforcements on the ground, as soon as the alert dropped, Hezbollah surprised us and abducted Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev."

The intelligence gaps and the accessibility of the existing information to the forces in the area are burned into Lt. Col. T.'s head and accompany him in his daily operational activities.

In those years, an assessment began to form that Hezbollah had tunnels dug deep in the ground and in the rock below the Israeli-Lebanese border.

Eventually, Lt. Col. T. became the operations commander for locating and destroying the tunnels in the Galilee.

In 2018 he closed the circle and was appointed head of the Lebanese branch of the research division and took a significant part in the war of minds against Hezbollah operatives on the border seeking revenge for killing Hezbollah operatives in Syria including the attempted attack on the Gladiola outpost on Mount Dov in 2020 that ended in Hezbollah failure.

About a year and a half ago, under harsh conditions of compartmentalization, a classified team called 'Kalanit Hagalil' was established under his command.

A combined team of soldiers and intelligence officers designed in the Galilee, with soldiers from the 9900 unit for visual intelligence and the 8200 unit, which is defined as the largest and most powerful collection unit in Israel.

"They all sit together around the same table and do multidisciplinary intelligence. Their first organization was to expose the tunnels on the Lebanese border," Lt. Col. T. explained, emphasizing that the combination of them produces valuable and very significant intelligence for the Northern Command.

Brain War.

The idea was born in the fevered minds of Brigadier General Y., who was formerly the Galilee Design Commander and now commander of the 8200 unit behind his back nicknamed "Y. Hezbollah" due to his extensive knowledge of the organization's secrets Tunnels, a parallel space commander in those days in 8200 and Lt. Col. T. who co-devised the cooperation. The enemy, creating targets, and monitoring Hezbollah activities along the border. The revolutionary idea was approved and assisted by the current head of the Armed Forces, Major General Tamir Heiman.

"As soon as the 8200 commander comes here, to the area, and tells his people 'you are the most important' it means everything. He sends a message to everyone. The partnership here yields successes that cannot be talked about," Lt. Col. T. explained. , Tangle, and open space.

After trying to hit an officer and a soldier at the border in the middle of a sniper fire last August, we reacted strongly to targets we had produced.

This intelligence is produced in a division.

Anti-drug smuggling and border weapons smuggling are carried out jointly by the Galilee anemone, the Shin Bet, and the police.

Valuable intelligence.

Hezbollah continues to wage a nerve-wracking war with IDF forces and has been moving along the border for the past decade. Hezbollah's elite unit, which includes leaders and senior members of the Shiite community in Lebanon, moves along the border. " This is an activity of the last few months. They move close to the border, observe and gather intelligence on the Israeli side. At first, they were unfamiliar to us. "

According to Northern Command officers, Radwan force operatives are building operational capabilities for future warfare.

Lt. Col. T. emphasized that in addition to the fire capabilities built by the Hezbollah organization, which reached a range of 130,000 to 150,000 rockets, Hezbollah collects intelligence on the border to carry out its threats and carry out raids and attacks on settlements and outposts along the border line. "Against tanks in the border area, it is our responsibility to locate it before it launches the missile," said Lt. Col. T., adding, "and after we exposed and destroyed the tunnels to Hezbollah, he is trying to find other routes to penetrate Israel."

"Walking close to the border."

In the past year increased more strongly the efforts of infiltration into Israel for the purposes of smuggling weapons and drugs, and foreign workers who come looking for work in Israel, but Lt. Col. T. and the intelligence unit of the Galilee Division warned that could one day power Radwan and other Hezbollah militants use those delegates penetration attacks.

"Hezbollah is No longer the same terrorist organization that everyone knew before. This is an army for everything. It is a learning organization, draws conclusions with capabilities that would not embarrass a regular Western army and despite its size it operates under very high and rigid compartmentalization, "said the Galilee intelligence officer, adding," Everyone saw how we poured concrete into a tunnel dug under the auspices of Kila village not far from the border. We then poured concrete into it that burst out into Lebanese territory. We see how the concrete flows in the streets, how Hezbollah operatives show up from our exposure closing the area and preventing even Lebanese army soldiers from entering there. They are not really counting the Lebanese army.That was Hezbollah's most secretive secret and we revealed it. "

Soldiers and commanders Anemone Galilee settlements operations room manned 24/7 and receive signals intelligence unit 8200 (calls and SMS space) Photos Aircraft and satellites, observation balloons and sensors that are partly belonged to the regiment pickup 869.

Soldiers, religious and secular, including the Druze community speaks the language fluently According to them, during the tense period in which Hezbollah sought revenge by killing soldiers, they acted to locate Hezbollah's activities in the area and thwart any suspicious intent with alerts. "The Galilee anemone also operates routinely and in emergencies.

I always have a picture in my head of a childhood friend of mine from Kiryat Shmona, Liran Saadia from the Egoz unit, who was killed in the Second Lebanon War.

"During a battle with a terrorist cell, he hit him in the village of Maroun a-Ras and killed him. There was no intelligence before that to prevent this. Our goal is to bring the intelligence to the end."

Crack classified processes.

At the same time, it should be emphasized that the soldiers of the Galilee anemone are not satisfied with monitoring the area along the border, providing warning and grip in areas where suspicious activity is taking place, but trying to crack down on highly classified Hezbollah processes.

One of them is the growing involvement of senior Hezbollah operatives in drug trafficking and smuggling of weapons that is presumably not done with the organization's secretary general Hassan Nasrallah banning, for example, drug trafficking. Without the approval and knowledge of the leadership.

One of the actions of the sword included the activation of the German citizen who converted to Islam, Steven Smirk, who joined Hezbollah in order to carry out an attack against Israel.

Smirk, arrested at Ben Gurion Airport in November 1997, admitted during his interrogation that he had joined the Shiite organization and was released in a prisoner exchange deal with Hezbollah in 2004.

The generation despised Nasrallah

"Harb is not really counting Nasrallah. Presumably there are other senior activists working under Nasrallah's nose who are openly talking about a ban on drugs. It is a halakhic ban. Not an arbitrary decision. So how does this happen in practice? We estimate it is an effect of the economic crisis, a new generation Of Hezbollah that does not really count Nasrallah. "

According to Lt. Col. T., "Something in southern Lebanon is slipping out of his hands.

We see that the activists were worried about us at the end of the criminal hinge axis becomes HTA. Chief of Staff Hezbollah must realize that this is taking a risk that could lead to escalation. "

But these are not the concerns of the units of the master and Galilee Anemone According to Division intelligence officer, they look at the broader actions They are looking for a reference in the field, such as a third-generation anti-tank missile that was exposed by the Iranian defense industries that may reach the area and pose a threat to IDF soldiers and the communities near the fence.
