As the brutal Israeli aggression on Gaza extends for the 40th consecutive day, "Israel" is growing increasingly uneasy about the northern front, given the expanding strikes by the Resistance in Lebanon.

Israeli newspaper Maariv tackled the military developments on the Lebanese-Palestinian occupied borders, known as the Northern Front, and speculated that the current tense situation along the northern border, where Israeli settlers demand the immediate "removal of the Hezbollah threat or they won't return home, is reminiscent of June 8, 1967, during the Six-Day War."

"At a time when the IDF is mainly focused on the problem of Gaza, the release of the abductees, and the eradication of Hamas and Islamic Jihad, the northern border is becoming a very worrying nuisance for tens of thousands of residents of the north, for whom facing Hezbollah is a real threat," the newspaper added.

The newspaper went on to say that "Israel" cannot afford to "live and exist under any threat, especially not the looming danger posed by tens of thousands of missiles, rockets, anti-tank missiles, and various types of drones, including some that are accurate and deadly", in reference to the mounting military strength of the Lebanese Resistance.

It is worth noting that the Israeli occupation's concern is growing about the northern front, as operations by Hezbollah continue in support of Gaza amid the genocide being perpetrated by the IOF. These operations also serve as a response to the Israeli attacks on villages in southern Lebanon, which have led to the killing of a number of civilians, including three children and a journalist.

Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah underlined in his latest appearance on November 11 that the Israeli occupation is losing on numerous fronts due to its actions as it also grows weaker in the region.

He also affirmed that the Israeli occupation, through its aggression and crimes in Gaza, including the brutal and deliberate killing of civilians, is "sending a message to Lebanon."

However, Sayyed Nasrallah explained that "Israel" was making yet another mistake and has not yet learned from its past. "It will not achieve its goal; the massacres it has committed throughout history, including Deir Yassin, bear testament to its failure," he further added.

"The Israeli occupation admitted that the level of attacks by the Resistance has risen significantly, so its level of anxiety is simultaneously on the rise," Sayyed Nasrallah highlighted. "The rise in the level of anxiety of the Israelis caused the level of threats to Lebanon to mount as well."

Despite the threats to Lebanon and the opposition of some "abnormal" voices to the Resistance's operations, "There is a general stance in Lebanon of solidarity with Gaza and support or understanding for Resistance operations," the leader of the Lebanese Resistance movement said.
