'Like Sitting Ducks': IDF Colonel Turns On Netanyahu Over Lebanon War 'Disaster'

A sharp warning has emerged from inside Israel's military establishment as Reserve Colonel Ronen Cohen publicly questioned the purpose of the IDF's continued deployment in southern Lebanon. According to reports, Cohen described Israeli soldiers operating in Lebanon as "sitting ducks," warned that troops are being killed "for nothing," and urged an immediate withdrawal, arguing that military objectives could be achieved through other means. His remarks come as Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem vowed to expel Israeli forces from Lebanese territory, declaring that the resistance group's capabilities remain intact despite months of fighting. Qassem insisted Hezbollah's missiles and drones can still strike targets across the region and vowed to continue confronting Israeli forces.
