️Did the Israeli army cross the Litani River and score a huge achievement?
The occupation prioritizes symbolic gestures over meaningful military achievements. It has reached the Litani River, bypassing southern towns and ignoring military control or “cleansing.”
The point where they crossed is located ≈3.2km from the border, west of Deir Mimas.
it’s only 500m distanced from the Israeli forces’ checkpoint at the western Deir Mimas junction (aka Morqos Station) from 4-5 days ago.
Again, how many soldiers did these PR photos cost ?
The goal is capturing an image to showcase to their audience, especially before any potential ceasefire, rather than pursuing substantive objectives.
This fixation on optics highlights their obsession with perception over actual accomplishments, even at the cost of strategic or military logic.
