The former head of AMAN found himself in a scandal over his comments about the war.

Channel 12 hosted a lively debate between former Israeli military intelligence chief Amos Yadlin and correspondent Almog Boker, who covers the south of the country. Yadlin declared, “We are not at war,” emphasizing that a real war would involve mass casualties and rocket attacks on Tel Aviv.

Boker contrasted this with data on military activity in the north of the country, where military actions had already been observed. He called for people to stop being afraid of the word “war” and to continue actions against the enemy. Boker also stressed the importance of respect for different points of view and asked Yadlin not to ignore the opinions of others.

Earlier it was reported that the Israeli Defense Minister announced the start of operations against the terrorist organization Hezbollah. He promised to continue efforts for the safe return of evacuated residents in the north. The Minister emphasized the importance of achieving this goal and the readiness to take the necessary steps to ensure the safety of citizens.
