Back To Normal Along The Gaza Border: IDF Releases The Reinforcements |
2019-04-15 |
[Jpost] After several weeks of calm in Israel’s South, the IDF has ordered the additional troops deployed along the Gazoo border last month to stand down. "In accordance with the ongoing assessment, it was decided to release the increased forces in the Southern Command for ongoing operations and training to improve their readiness," the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit said in a statement given to The Jerusalem Post, adding that "the IDF continues to be highly prepared and will act quickly according to need." The army deployed three infantry brigades and an artillery unit to enhance the Southern Command after a long-range rocket attack on central Israel destroyed a family home in March. The leave of all combat units assigned to the command was also canceled and reservists from several units were called up. The rocket attack led to another round of violence between Israel and Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,. A tense calm has been holding in the South, with reports of a ceasefire deal mediated by Egypt, Qatar ![]() and the United Nations ...aka the Oyster Bay Chowder and Marching Society... in the works. |

#3 They can easily return — it isn’t far from one end of the country to the other — and in the meantime, the reserves have civilian jobs they’ve been neglecting, while the regular troops have military responsibilities ditto. And everyone could use a little time off — they’ve been going flat out for a bit, as far as I can tell. |

#1 When normal is not a good thing. Was it all posturing for the voters? |
