This activity is part of a broader defense effort to establish and strengthen a forward defense position, which includes dismantling terrorist infrastructure and eliminating terrorists operating in the area, in order to eliminate threats and create an additional layer of security for the residents of northern Israel.
Prior to the deployment of troops to the area, the Israel Defense Forces carried out strikes, using both artillery and the Israeli Air Force, on numerous terrorist targets to mitigate threats in the operational environment.
