Israeli Channel 12 reported on "immense anger" among settlers in northern occupied Palestine regarding statements made by Israeli military leaders about the possibility of their return to settlements amid ongoing rocket fire from Hezbollah.
The channel stated that "Hezbollah maintains its missile capabilities, which will remain even after the current war ends," adding, "It should be noted that even after this battle and the return of northern residents, the security and military institutions cannot guarantee that rockets will not be launched from Lebanon."
These comments came after the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon launched missile barrages this morning, targeting Haifa and its surroundings, reaching as far as central areas.
Channel 12 further clarified, "We are seeing continuous fire from Lebanon, with both the number and range of rockets increasing."
While officials at both the military and political levels in "Israel" claim that the extensive airstrikes launched by Israeli occupation aircraft since September have destroyed a large portion of Hezbollah's missile capabilities, the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon continues to refute these claims. They periodically deploy new types of precision missiles, targeting Israeli occupation military bases in northern occupied Palestine and as far as Tel Aviv, as clarified in the following operations, to name a few.

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah continues to carry out strategic operations against Israeli military positions in northern occupied Palestine and within the Israeli depth, achieving precise hits.
The Islamic Resistance commenced its Friday operations early at 12:00 am, targeting a grouping of Israeli soldiers in Jal al-Hammar, south of the southern Lebanese town of Odeisseh, with artillery shells, resulting in confirmed hits, according to a statement.
Later at 1:20 am, Hezbollah said its Resistance fighters launched a guided missile at an Israeli military bulldozer accompanied by infantry attempting to advance toward the Sari Heights in the northwest of the southern town of Kfar Kila.
The Lebanese group confirmed that the strike destroyed the bulldozer, resulting in fatalities and injuries among its crew, in addition to confirmed casualties within the accompanying forces.
As part of its ongoing Khaybar operations, under the call of "Labbayka ya Nasrallah" [Here we respond to your call, O' Nasrallah], the Islamic Resistance targeted at 8:00 am the Stella Maris naval base located in northwest Haifa with a high-end barrage of rockets.

According to a statement by Hezbollah, Stella Maris acts as a strategic base for maritime monitoring and surveillance along the northern coast.
Also within the scope of Khaybar operations, Hezbollah simultaneously targeted the Ramat David base and airport, southeast of Haifa, with a high-end rocket barrage.
At 9:00 am, and as part of the warning issued by the Islamic Resistance to several settlements in the north, Hezbollah said its fighters targeted the settlement of Kiryat Shmona with a rocket barrage.

In a related context, Al Mayadeen’s correspondent in southern Lebanon reported a rocket barrage launched from Lebanon toward the occupied Syrian Golan.
Meanwhile, Israeli media reported that Hezbollah launched dozens of rockets since early morning, reaching Haifa and south of al-Nasirah.
