 Hi, this is Daniel Roswell. Welcome back to my YouTube channel. I've done a few videos before showing some interesting places along Israel's borders, including the northern border with Lebanon. However, as I've remarked in some of my videos, you generally can't get too close to Israel's more tense borders like those with Lebanon and Syria. And as we're about to see, there's a very good reason for that. This morning, some interesting footage emerged of Hezbollah operatives in full uniform, conducting military patrols immediately alongside the border with Israel. According to one of the posters you share the footage, the men belong to the Al-Ridwan Brigade of the militant group, a special forces unit which trains almost exclusively for a planned mass infiltration into northern Israeli communities across the border fence. Despite the fact that the two countries are formally at a state of war, face-to-face encounters between the IDF and the Lebanese armed forces, the LAF are a somewhat commonplace and recorded on video. The blue line armistice boundary that serves as the de facto international border between Israel and Lebanon is in many places slightly past the Israeli border fence. Or in other words, Israel often positions its border fence slightly within its own territory, thereby creating small pockets of unfenced separation with Lebanon, which are commonly referred to as enclaves. This is how Hezbollah was recently able to position tents on Israel's soil without having to physically trespass any obstacle. It's also common to see plain clothes Hezbollah officers gathering intelligence along Israel's border. Some years ago the IDF even exposed an extensive effort by Hezbollah to create a bogus NGO with lookout posts expressly for this purpose. What's unusual and noteworthy about today's video footage is that it depicts Hezbollah militants and outfits literally just across the fence from Israel making no effort to disguise their movements. The recorded incident happened in close proximity to the Dovevmo Shav, which almost abuts the border with Lebanon. Following the incident, IDF forces rushed to the scene. The footage also demonstrates a clear failure on the part of Unifil, the United Nations interim force in Lebanon. A core part of their remit is supposed to be ensuring that the only armed military force in Lebanon south of the Lattani River is that country's official standing army, the LAF. Given Israel's extensive electronic surveillance of all its borders, it seems reasonable to assume that the Hezbollah operatives were expecting to be seen, and that their patrol was intended to send a clear message to Israel, we're just across the fence, and we're watching you.
