Israeli media reported that four Israeli drones were shot down in Lebanon, noting that "if such an incident were to happen one year ago, then war would be ignited, and Lebanon would cease to exist. However, Lebanon is flourishing today, while we [Israel] are fighting a war and fleeing like rabbits."

"Where are the heroes in the Right?", Israeli media then asked.

It was further emphasized that "Israel" has been receiving nonstop hits on the northern front for eight months and has "transformed from a regional deterring mighty power into a punching bag, with the Israeli response being timid and weak."

Israeli media also stressed that northern settlements, like Akka, Nahariya, and Kiryat Shmona, as well as settlements far from the border, are being pounded with tens of rockets and sounding the alarms daily. "Has anyone seen the Minister of Lost Security Yoav Galant's red line?", the media slammed.

Hezbollah 'humiliates' the occupation

In a related context, Yitah Ron Tal, a former major general in the Israeli occupation forces, said that "Israel" has reached a level of zero deterrence against Hezbollah, affirming that [Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan] Nasrallah was not afraid of the occupation.

Responding to a question regarding the beginning of the war in the north, Tal said, as cited by the Israeli Walla! website, "The war is actually ongoing in the North, and it has humiliated us." He added, "Hezbollah has created a security area, they disintegrated our towns, and half of the residents don't know if they are going to return. We are facing a collapse."

Ron Tal also said the Israeli invasion of Rafah is affecting the movements of the occupation military and its ability to operate in the occupied North, emphasizing that "Israeli officers would rather form an agreement with Hezbollah than face its incredible power." He also mentioned that Hezbollah attacked "Israel" with the most advanced rockets in the Middle East.

Hezbollah using IOF as testing ground for weapons: Israeli media

Israeli media reported earlier today on developments in the ongoing war on the northern front, stating that it is gradually becoming the "main front" at the moment. The reports addressed Hezbollah's military capabilities and its handling of field developments.

The North is gradually becoming the "main front" as Hezbollah increases the scope and intensity of operations while utilizing only a fraction of its capabilities, Israeli media reported on Sunday.

The Resistance in Lebanon "has used only 5% of its weapons arsenal during these months of battle as a testing ground against the Israeli army, in preparation for a real and extensive battle," Ynet reported, citing the occupation army.

The news website added that Hezbollah "tries every day to bypass air defense systems and derive lessons," and that "this has become evident with the different launch angles [the Resistance] uses, the concentration of launches, and the varying amounts of explosives in each weapon fired, among other factors."
