Kanali Anan Abbas, Mkuu wa Udhibiti katika chumba kikuu cha operesheni cha Kamandi ya Kaskazini, alifichua katika mahojiano na chombo cha habari cha Maariv siku ya Jumanne kwamba operesheni ya hivi majuzi dhidi ya Hezbollah ilihitaji miezi ya maandalizi ya kina. "Hezbollah inajaribu kutathmini kiwango cha uharibifu waliopata," alisema. Yaani kuua ''Jogoo na mitetea kweli? ''
"Tulishambulia maelfu ya virushia roketi na kulemaza uwezo wa Hezbollah na walilegea haswa nyororo, na shughuli zetu [bado hazijakamilika]. Inaonekana Hezbollah bado wako katika mshtuko. Wanajaribu kufahamu ukubwa wa uharibifu walioupata, na watajua hawajui. watakuja elewa katika siku zijazo, kwa sasa wanaanza kufahamu kilichotokea na jinsi kilivyotokea," Abbas alieleza.
Mapema wiki hii, IDF ilisisitiza kuwa ingawa operesheni ilikuwa ya mbinu, ilituma ishara zenye nguvu kwa Hezbollah-ujumbe ambao unaweza kusababisha mabadiliko mapana ya kimkakati.
"Inaonekana Hezbollah ilishangazwa kwa dhati," alibainisha Abbas. "Mshtuko wao unatokana na idadi kubwa ya ndege tulizorusha kwa wakati mmoja, na kugonga idadi kubwa ya malengo katika muda mfupi sana. Pia wanashangazwa na usahihi wa shabaha zetu - jinsi tulivyoweza kufikia shabaha nyingi kwa usahihi kabisa kudadeki, na kudhoofisha malengo yao. Mbali, na kufanya hivyo bila kuwadhuru raia au kusababisha uharibifu wa Mali za raia."
"Operesheni hii ilichukua miezi ya maandalizi," alisema, akiangazia ukusanyaji mkubwa wa kijasusi, utambuzi wa walengwa, na upangaji wa maeneo ya kuwagonga ambao ulifanikiwa. Mbali na mashambulizi ya anga, IDF pia ilitumia mizinga kutoka kwa mitambo maalum kadhaa, ambayo ililenga maeneo mbalimbali nchini Lebanon.

Colonel Anan Abbas, Head of Control at the Northern Command's central operations room, revealed in an interview with Maariv on Tuesday that the recent operation against Hezbollah required months of meticulous preparation. "Hezbollah is trying to assess the extent of the damage they've sustained," he said.
"We attacked thousands of launchers and crippled Hezbollah’s capabilities, and our operations [haven't finished yet]. It appears Hezbollah is still in shock. They're trying to comprehend the extent of the damage inflicted on them, and they’ll fully understand it in the coming days. Right now, they’re just beginning to grasp what happened and how it unfolded," Abbas explained.
Earlier in the week, the IDF emphasized that while the operation was primarily tactical, it sent powerful signals to Hezbollah—messages that could potentially lead to broader strategic shifts.
"It seems Hezbollah was genuinely surprised," noted Abbas. "Their shock comes from the sheer number of planes we deployed simultaneously, striking an overwhelming number of targets in a very short time. They're also astonished by the precision of our strikes—how we managed to accurately hit so many objectives, neutralize their assets, and do so without harming civilians or causing collateral damage."
"This operation took months of preparation," he said, highlighting the extensive intelligence-gathering, target identification, and strike planning that went into it. In addition to airstrikes, the IDF also employed artillery fire from several batteries, which targeted various locations in Lebanon.
"Tulishambulia maelfu ya virushia roketi na kulemaza uwezo wa Hezbollah na walilegea haswa nyororo, na shughuli zetu [bado hazijakamilika]. Inaonekana Hezbollah bado wako katika mshtuko. Wanajaribu kufahamu ukubwa wa uharibifu walioupata, na watajua hawajui. watakuja elewa katika siku zijazo, kwa sasa wanaanza kufahamu kilichotokea na jinsi kilivyotokea," Abbas alieleza.
