Tel Aviv University Vice-Rector Professor Eyal Zisser publicly criticised Israel's military strategy against Hezbollah, arguing the IDF must relentlessly strike training camps and economic infrastructure rather than its current approach. The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah on its northern border continues to fulfil the biblical pattern of Israel surrounded by hostile neighbours in the last days. Scripture repeatedly identifies Lebanon's territory and its militant forces as part of the northern threat axis that will press against Israel in the end times.
