Hezbollah has expanded its operational scope against "Israel" on the northern front, according to Israeli media, which stressed that "everyone is waiting for Nasrallah’s speech tomorrow."

Israeli media reported that earlier today, for the first time since the start of military operations in the north, sirens are sounding in "Safad".

According to the correspondent of Israeli Channel 13, Shlomi Aldar, located in the north of "Israel", the expansion on the northern front is not in vain, adding that Hezbollah has a message, which is that "the more Israeli pressure on Hamas in the Gaza Strip is, the more they (Hezbollah) suggest that we are present here, on the northern front."

Aldar pointed out that the settlers of "Kiryat Shmona" are experiencing an "exceptional atmosphere" for the first time since the 2006 July War. The correspondent further highlighted, "The noise here pierces the ears and the sounds of cannons are everywhere, and they live in an atmosphere of war all the time."

On his part, US National Security Spokesperson John Kirby announced that the White House is concerned following a series of Hezbollah operations targeting Israeli military sites, resulting in an exchange of fire. The violence spikes at the Lebanese border may be concerning, Kirby claimed, but they are not to be confused as an indication that Hezbollah is ready "to go in full force," he claimed.

"We're concerned about continued attacks on Israeli forces there in the north, as are the Israelis, but I don't believe we've seen any indication yet specifically that Hezbollah is ready to go in full force," Kirby said during the press briefing.

It is important to note that earlier, Kirby had confirmed that the US administration will be following closely the speech of the Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, scheduled for Friday.

Kirby also announced, "Our message to him [Nasrallah] is not to expand the conflict in the region."

Following the Zebdine operation, sources informed Al Mayadeen that Israeli helicopters were seen landing at the targeted sites and started evacuating a significant number of casualties.

The drone attack came as part of a wide-scale operation carried out by Hezbollah, during which 19 Israeli military bases and outposts were targeted simultaneously, the Resistance said in a statement, noting that guided missiles, rockets, artillery shells, and the newly introduced drones were used.

The targeted sites and positions, according to the Resistance's statement, are as follows:

  • Marj,
  • al-Malikiyah,
  • Jal al-Deer,
  • Ras Naqoura,
  • Khirbet Zrariyt,
  • al-Dhayrah

As for the points targeted they are as follows in detail:
- 12/13/14/16 between al-Bahri site and Jal al-Alam,
- 59 opposite al-Dhayrah site,
- 62/67 opposite Hadab al-Bustan,
- 89/90/91 between Mount Abu Dajaj and Khirbet Zrariyt,
- 394/395/396 opposite the occupied town of Hounin.

Meanwhile, Israeli media reported that dozens of rockets were fired toward northern occupied Palestine in under an hour, with one missile striking the central street of "Kiryat Shmona" and leading to the injury of two settlers.
