Former commander of Beaufort Ridge warns against romanticizing operation, holding outpost
Brig. Gen. (res.) Oren Avman warned against romanticizing the capture of the Beaufort Ridge and the dangers that lie ahead during a Sunday morning interview with Walla.
Avman served as commander of the Beaufort Ridge when Israel held the area ahead of its 2000 withdrawal, and closed the Lebanon border gate at Metula.
"As a young Golani soldier in ’87, my first operational assignment was in Beaufort. Capturing the ridge is tactical excellence that masks strategic helplessness," Avman said. "From the perspective of the US, Iran and Lebanon are all linked in an ancestral bond. Look at what happens to us during a so-called 'ceasefire.'"
