"Terrorists in the North were on full alert, ready to act" against Israel after October 7, the official senior explained.A surprise attack was planned on Israel's northern border in the days following the October 7 Hamas attacks, a senior military official involved in commanding the IDF's operations in southern Lebanon revealed in a Wednesday Maariv interview. The official emphasized that a repeat or imitation of the October 7 attack is unlikely to occur along Israel's northern border at this stage of the war. He attributed this to the IDF's efforts in neutralizing terror tunnels, clearing dense brushlands, and dismantling nature reserves that had been converted into terror strongholds. Before the IDF's efforts in combatting Hezbollah and dismantling its infrastructure and weaponry, the senior official revealed that early in the operation, some 3,000 terrorists were stationed across southern Lebanon within a three-kilometer strip north of the Israeli border, ready to invade upon receiving orders.
