September 16 IDSF Daily Briefing – Time is running out with Hezbollah

Peloni:  Important update.  General Avivi addresses the reality that winter is coming and this will have a negative impact on Israel while benefitting Hezbollah.  Also, he acknowledges that war in the North sooner rather than later will delay the conclusion of the the war in Gaza and may affect the hostages diliteriously.  Despite all of this, however, he asserts that it is imperative for Israel to strike Lebanon now, before Winter, and before the High Holidays, and that with every day which delays this move places Israel in a more and more difficult scenario in which to deal with the threat in the North.   He also shares that among the strategies which are being contemplated by the IDF is the use of a siege of norther Gaza, withholding food and water from those who refuse to move south.
