The Wall Street Journal quoted Monday the Israeli Minister of Security in the Israeli occupation government, Yoav Gallant, saying that his point of view is that "Israel is fighting an axis, not a single enemy." 

Gallant added that Iran is "building its military power to use it against Israel."

The Minister of Security in the Israeli government stated that his immediate source of concern is the "northern border," emphasizing that the current priority is "not to engage in a war with Hezbollah."

Gallant emphasized that the safe return of 80,000 settlers to their homes must be ensured, pointing out that if an agreement is not negotiated to make this possible, "Israel will not back down from military action."

His statement comes amid the ongoing operations by the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon against occupation positions, soldiers, and settlements in northern occupied Palestine.

Significantly, Hezbollah's rockets targeted the "Meron" Air Force base. Israeli media considered this a game-changing development and a notable escalation, exceeding the 5-kilometer range defined by the rules of engagement.

It is noteworthy that "Israel" had earlier initiated the escalation against Hezbollah by targeting Hamas leader Saleh al-Arouri in the southern suburb of Beirut, violating the rules of engagement.

'Hezbollah capabilities concerning'

Earlier on Sunday, Israeli media said Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah has been pursuing a goal since the beginning of the war to "blind Israeli systems in the northern region."

Military affairs analyst Noam Amir, speaking on Israeli Channel 14, conveyed considerable unease within the Israeli occupation forces, especially in the aftermath of Hezbollah's targeting of the "Meron" Air Force base.

"Meron" base entered the long list of Israeli targets struck by the Resistance in Northern Occupied #Palestine.

Here's all you need to know about the base which was struck today with 62 rockets and missiles by the Lebanese Resistance.

The Israeli analyst highlighted that the Israeli occupation is deliberately hiding the extent of the damage suffered by the intelligence system at the "Meron" Air Force base.

Amir emphasized that the IOF have opted to withhold information about the damage done to "Meron" to prevent providing Hezbollah with specific details regarding the outcome of the attack.
