Acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert this morning toured IDF Northern Command; Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz and IDF Chief-of-Staff Lt.-Gen. Dan Halutz accompanied the tour.
Acting Prime Minister Olmert received an intelligence briefing and was apprised of the Hezbollah threat, recent events and the situation in Rajar. He then traveled to an overlook from which he viewed - inter alia - the Mt. Dov area and Rajar.
Acting Prime Minister Olmert thanked Defense Minister Mofaz, IDF Chief-of-Staff Lt.-Gen. Halutz and GOC Northern Command Maj.-Gen. Udi Adam and said: “I was very impressed by the briefings and I want to tell you that while it is good to read intelligence reports it is even better to hear directly from the people who do the work on a daily basis.”
Acting Prime Minister Olmert emphasized Hezbollah’s efforts to kidnap an Israeli soldier and said that he was certain that the security establishment was aware of the dangers and was doing everything to thwart them.
