On Monday, Israeli media reported that following the bombing from Lebanon, major roads in the north were closed to vehicle traffic in the settlements of "Margaliot" and "Ramat Magshimim" and the occupied Lebanese town of al-Malikiyah.

Reports added that sirens sounded in the northern regions on the border with Lebanon, stressing that they had not stopped since the morning. Meanwhile, Israeli Channel 12 confirmed that the attack on the north today is the "most intense" and "most violent" since the beginning of the war.

Furthermore, the Israeli Kan channel reported damage to an Israeli army base in the north on the border with Lebanon following the firing of anti-tank missiles.

The Israeli Wallah website quoted sources in the security and military establishment as saying, “Netanyahu is deterred by Hezbollah,” after Hezbollah fired missiles on the Israeli "Biranit" Barracks, which caused major destruction inside. On its part, the Israeli website Yedioth Ahronoth described what happened at the "Biranit" base as "cruel", confirming that fire broke out in the area.

In this context, the Maariv website noted that Hezbollah is escalating its activities by launching missiles toward the north, including the deployment of bombs. The Israeli media has expressed concern about the continuous infiltration of drones from Lebanon into "Israel", coinciding with Channel 13's reports of two drones infiltrating the northern settlements on the border with Lebanon.

Earlier this week, Israeli media highlighted the frustration felt by Israeli settlers in the north of occupied Palestine, after they were forced to vacate their settlements following their shelling by the Lebanese Resistance.

Israeli Channel 12 noted that settlements up to 5 km away from Lebanon’s southern borders were vacated, clarifying that nearly 60,000 settlers have been evacuated from the north, 20,000 of whom reside in “Kiryat Shmona”.

Channel 12 also mentioned that the evacuations took place “without prior planning,” further adding that “if the war should end today, not many would hasten to return to the North.”

An Israeli settler also told the Israeli media outlet that settlers in “Kiryat Shmona and the Galilee Panhandle now have to rely on individual security,” further adding that should "deterrence no longer be clearly established in the area, settlers would not remain in the North.”
