"On the one hand, we have security and calm which the north hasn’t known for decades," he said. "On the other hand, the enemy has increased its abilities. From afar, the (southern Lebanon) villages appear serene, but looks can be deceiving."
The general spoke during a memorial ceremony for occupation soldiers killed in the Second Lebanon War in 2006.
The ceremony was held on Mount Adir in the Upper Galilee, which overlooks southern Lebanon and the war's battlefields. The killed soldiers’ parents who attended the ceremony observed the villages of Debel, Bint Jbeil, Maroun al-Ras and Aita al-Shaab.
The Israeli army installed a large telescope in the area, allowing the parents to observe the villages their sons fought and killed in. They also directed questions at the intelligence officers who attended the ceremony.
Eisenkot discussed the Israeli occupation army’s residence, saying that the army "engaged in a long and significant process of studying the enemy, exposing its abilities and building a professional and high quality response to implement our purpose in the best way."
"The army is preparing differently today. Although threats are being heard on the Lebanese side and many more missiles are being stocked, I am certain that the army is aware of this and is preparing accordingly."
