'Israel' to face Resistance threats from Lebanon, Palestine for years

The IOF's goal is to persuade nearly half a million people from cities along both borders in occupied Palestine, as well as agricultural areas around them, to return to their settlements.

Despite "Israel's" stated goal of destroying Hamas' military capabilities during its aggression on Gaza, Israeli occupation forces (IOF) were told to brace for continuing threats and missiles from within occupied Palestine, as well as from Lebanon.

According to Israeli Ynet news, after the government admitted that eliminating the threat posed by the Palestinian Resistance would take years, the IOF would have to erect new engineered reinforcements in Western al-Naqab, as well as Upper and Western al-Jalil.

As the clock struck midnight on New Year's Eve, the Palestinian Resistance in Gaza launched a barrage of rockets toward "Tel Aviv" from within areas where Israeli occupation forces are deployed.

The IOF's goal is to persuade nearly half a million settlers to return to their settlements.

On Monday, Haaretz reported that 14 Israeli occupation settlements petitioned the High Court for compensation or evacuation.

Of the 14 settlements, seven are located within 5 km of the Lebanese border and had been set to be evacuated, according to the Israeli occupation's Security Minister, however, this has not happened yet.

The other seven settlements extend within 5 to 8 km of the Lebanese border and have claimed that their lives had been undermined by the failure of the Israeli occupation forces to deter the Lebanese Resistance, which has maintained the deterrence equation it had imposed on the occupation.

According to Ynet news, Israeli engineers have begun work on the ground in the south to strengthen protection against incoming anti-tank fire that may target the highways near the occupied area just outside Gaza.

While the Israeli occupation hopes to have Hezbollah withdraw from the north via diplomatic efforts through US and French channels, that may not happen and the IOF will then have to face the Radwan Force who would remain within 10 kilometers (6 miles) from the border.

The occupation's attempts to reduce the threat in the south and north would require massive resources estimated in the billions of shekels, including the construction of a 130-kilometer-long barrier that extends along the Israeli-Lebanese border, three times the size of the wall authorized by the government prior to the war.

The budget for the newly revealed plans covers the expense of forces needed to secure border region settlements in the future years, including hundreds of reserve battalions that would be called up for weeks at a time and would necessitate raising the military reserve service age to 45.

Nearly half a million Israelis left occupied Palestine since October 7

Earlier, on December 6, Israeli media reports revealed that a significant number of Israelis have departed from Palestine since the start of the war on Gaza on October 7.

According to data from the Israeli Population and Immigration Authority, about half a million Israelis have left the occupied territories, Israeli news website Zman Yisrael pointed out. 

During October (from October 7 to October 31), approximately 370,000 Israelis left Palestine, and during November, an additional 139,839 left. 

The website noted that these figures do not include the tens of thousands of foreign workers and diplomats who have left Palestine after October 7 due to deteriorating conditions.
