Israeli media reported, on Sunday, that Hezbollah "has the initiative in the north," and the Israeli occupation military is "frustrated and remains in a position of responding."

Moreover, Israeli media pointed out that Hezbollah "has a depth of reach inside Israel, if only it wanted to."

Former Israeli forces commander Eliezer Marom told Israeli Channel 12 that "Israel" cannot "get inside Hezbollah’s head and understand exactly what it wants," stressing that "What we are seeing is a slow escalation, while it is not clear where things are headed."

It is important to note that Marom was referencing the usage of the Burkan heavy rocket used yesterday by Hezbollah to target one of the Israeli positions along the Lebanese Blue Line. It is worth noting that the Burkan missile carries a significant weight of explosive material that could be hundreds of kilograms but has a short range.

Marom, in this context, stressed that "the matter would be different if drones entered the Galilee (Al-Jalil) heading south."

Israeli media had commented on Hezbollah's increase in its operations on the Lebanese border, noting that this comes with the expansion of the ground operations carried out by the occupation forces along the Gaza Strip.

It is also significant that Israeli media pointed out that fire was no longer targeting solely the settlements located on the front line near the Lebanese-Palestinian border area, but rather had reached the depths of the northern front.

Israeli analysts say do not 'underestimate' Sayyed Nasrallah

Earlier, Palestinian affairs correspondent and analyst, Elior Levy, told Israeli channel Kan 11 that "no one in Israel knows what is going on in the head of the Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah," stressing the "necessity not to underestimate" the speech he delivered yesterday, on Friday.

The Palestinian affairs analyst stressed that "it is forbidden to disparage Nasrallah’s speech," especially after what happened on October 7, the day the Palestinian Resistance launched Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.

Levy believed that Sayyed Nasrallah sent what he described as "vague threats."
