[GEO.TV] The Israeli army has announced it's transferring the 98th Division from Gaza to the Lebanon front, according to the Israeli military, Al Jazeera reported.
The unit, comprising 10,000 to 20,000 soldiers, will join the 36th Division under the Northern Command. This strategic move aims to bolster defenses on the northern front amid escalating tensions.
''With peak readiness on the northern front, the Israeli army decided to move the elite 98th brigade there,'' according to Israeli Army Radio. ''The brigade was originally scheduled to continue fighting in Gaza, but it was decided in recent days to transfer it north.''
Kan, the Israeli state-run broadcasting authority, noted the force left Khan Younis in southern Gaza three weeks ago to an unspecified location in the war-battered enclave.
