Israel Moves Elite IDF Fighting Battalion From Gaza to Lebanon Border
by Karen Faulkner, Worthy News Correspondent
(Worthy News) – Amid increasingly high tensions between Israel and the Hezbollah terror group in Lebanon, the Israeli military has announced it moved the 98th Paratroopers Division, an elite fighting battalion, from the Southern Command operating against Hamas in the Gaza Strip to the Northern Command along Israel’s border with Lebanon to face Hezbollah.
A reserve-service infantry division in the Israeli army, the 98th Paratroopers Division with approximately 10,000 to 20,000 troops was withdrawn from southern Gaza’s Khan Younis in late August, the Times of Israel reports.
In a statement, the military correspondent of the Israeli army radio station, Doron Kadosh said the division had been scheduled “to continue fighting in the Gaza Strip, but on the last day it was decided to divert it to the north.”
Hezbollah joined Hamas’ war against Israel following the October 7 attack, citing solidarity with the Palestinians. Supported by Iran like Hamas, Hezbollah has fired thousands of missiles at northern Israeli towns, causing civilian casualties and the evacuation of some 60,000 people.
Hezbollah have said they will continue their attacks until Israel stops the war in Gaza – something the Israeli government says will not happen until it gains “total victory” over Hamas.
