Israeli media is mocking previous statements made by Israeli officials against Hezbollah, threatening the Lebanese Resistance of bombing Lebanon back to the Stone Age.

In this context, Israeli newspaper Hadashot Bazaman reposted a video published by Hezbollah's military media, adding a voiceover of several Israeli officials, prominently Security Minister Yoav Gallant, threatening Hezbollah of returning Lebanon to the Stone Age. The video featured a bold title asking "Who is taking who to the Stone Age?"

Gallant, who once threatened to set back Lebanon to the Stone Age, found himself in a reversed situation, the head of the "Margaliot" council explained back in January.

The Israeli official, who heads the council responsible for a settlement located to the west of the settlement of "Kiryat Shmona", shed light on the blackout experienced in the colonial outpost, following a rocket attack launched by Hezbollah on the al-Jalil Panhandle.

"Our settlements have ultimately been left without electricity, and we ended up being reverted to the Stone Age," the Israeli official complained.

Northern Israeli settlers complain of Hezbollah rockets 'nightmare'

Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth highlighted on Thursday the situation facing settlers in northern settlements, emphasizing that they are "drained and paying a heavy price due to the fighting with Hezbollah."

According to the newspaper, the settlers in the north are "depressed" and are posing questions such as, "What do we do to end the nightmare of Hezbollah rockets?"

The newspaper cited an Israeli settler living in one of the al-Jalil settlements near the border with Lebanon as saying that "settlers there live among Hezbollah rockets," describing the situation as "terrible".

Yedioth Ahronoth mentioned that more than 60,000 Israelis in al-Jalil settlements have been displaced and evacuated to other settlements since the start of the fighting in October.

It added that since October, the "northern community" has collapsed, many businesses have been shut down, and displaced settlers have scattered to other settlements.

One settler told the newspaper that someone from the Israeli leadership must address the settlers' problems, adding that Israeli the government has forgotten the settlers in the north "and has become accustomed to their living under war."

The settler added that "a sense of helplessness" accompanies all al-Jalil settlers, who never imagined that this situation would continue for more than five months.
