During a tour at a military outpost in the settlement of "Sha'arei Binyamin" in the occupied West Bank, "Israel's" Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi on Saturday said that the Israeli army is currently facing a what he described as a multi-front war and that some of these fronts are located outside of Palestine's borders. 

"Everyone, every soldier… has responsibility for all the arenas, because every incident that happens in one of the arenas really affects and can cause [developments] in other areas as well," Halevi said in a video released Saturday by the Israeli army. "We are in a multi-front war, Lebanon, Syria, Judea and Samaria [occupied West Bank], and Gaza, and more distant things."

Speaking to Israeli border officers, Halevi affirmed "Israel's" fear of escalation during the month of Ramadan, saying that "vigilance is required during all days in Ramadan, not just Fridays", as "several attempts to launch attacks in multiple locations this week" were detected.

This comes at a time of heightened concerns within the Israeli leadership over escalating tensions and potential security threats across various fronts, including the fronts with Gaza and the occupied West Bank, northern occupied Palestine (Lebanon and Syria), as well as operations waged by resistance groups in Iraq and Yemen.

Earlier in the day, Israeli news reported sirens sounding near al-Khalil due to concerns of a possible infiltration into an Israeli settlement.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that several shots were fired at settler homes in Old Town in Al-Khalil.

On a related note, sources reported that Mossad's Chief David Barnea is expected to resume Gaza ceasefire talks with Qatari Prime Minister and Egyptian officials in Doha on Sunday.

However, it is uncertain whether a potential ceasefire with Gaza may extend to include Lebanon.

Meanwhile, the US-UK naval coalition is targeting Yemeni positions along the Yemeni coastline, the latest aggression involving four raids on the Taif area in the Ad-Durayhimi District, south of Hodeidah Governorate, as per Al Mayadeen's correspondent.
