"... Major-General Eisenkot holds regular periodical meetings with the northern council heads. This time, he used the meeting for a detailed briefing on the home front command drill.

He told the council heads that "the Galilee has not seen such a calm period for many years, and we will continue to maintain this calm. Our greatest fear stems from Hezbollah's patterns of operation, which slightly resemble the cold war in Europe.

"The mutual deterrence pattern creates a lot of tension, and the question when the next incident will break out does not depend on one element, but on a variety of elements which don't all depend on us."

He added that he believed none of the parties had an interest to launch another conflict these days (certainly not the "foltilla-busy-tarnished-humiliated" IDF). "However," he said, "the IDF knows how to deal with a front in Syria and Lebanon and at the same time in Gaza (Bravo!). The question is how we will deal with it as a people, as a public, and as a supportive home front.

"We can deter countries and organizations from operating, but we can't deter countries and organizations from growing stronger, and therefore we are prepared for an all-out war within several hours."
