(photo credit: IDF SPOKESPERSON UNIT) Amid ongoing updates on the progress of  negotiations between the US and Iran , top IDF officers confirmed on Sunday that several branches of the military have reduced the number of reserve soldiers in the General Staff's headquarters. Some officers received a message that they must remain attentive and alert to any calls to return to service, but do not have to come to the headquarters. Senior IDF officers claim that, in their assessment,  Israel’s political echelon  has been excluded from the core of the US-Iran negotiations. Despite the many updates on a potential deal, it is impossible to know whether there has truly been progress or whether each side is merely trying to pressure the other. The head of Military Intelligence, Maj.-Gen Shlomi Binder, is leading intelligence-gathering effort...

"There is no such thing as exclusivity of weapons or disarming Hezbollah," he said. Further, he argued that Hezbollah's disarmament would remove Lebanon's "defensive capability, and the capability of the resistance and its people, as a prelude to extermination." "Disarmament is extermination, and this is something we cannot accept," he said Qassem also rejected Israel-Lebanon talks, criticized the B...
