The Israeli air defense division in northern occupied Palestine is not able to "100% confront" suicide drones, which are sent from a short range and fly at a low altitude, Israeli Channel 12 said Wednesday.

The channel's correspondent in the north, Guy Varon, admitted that the drone launched by Hezbollah from Lebanon on Tuesday in the direction of the Metulla settlement accurately struck their targets, stressing that many of the drones that penetrate the airspace, "film and collect information without hindrance by the security establishment."

The channel stated that it was permitted to publish that two reserve fighters from the 551st Brigade in the Israeli occupation forces were killed as a result of the attack, claiming that was only the third case in which drone attacks from Lebanon killed Israeli soldiers.

The Israeli channel talked about Hezbollah's capabilities and tactics in aerial attacks, quoting reservists serving in the North for seven months as saying that many small drones pass over their heads before they see the large explosive-laden kamikaze drones.

Speaking with Channel 12, the soldiers emphasized that "there is no actual Israeli response to the launch of drones from Lebanon," adding that "the drones penetrate the sky without warning many times."

The Israeli soldiers revealed that "even in cases where a warning is given, there is not always a fortified place, or it is not always accessible."

North uncared for

Regarding the situation for settlers in northern occupied Palestine, Channel 12's correspondent said Israeli officials in the north were planning on waiting until September 1 for the situation to improve, and if it did not, they would present them with an ultimatum to deal with the issue.

The reporter pointed out that the voices in the War Cabinet emphasize that the escalation on the front with Lebanon will take several months, noting that this means that "families will register their children for the next school year in distant places and will not return to the north."

Northern settlers feel abandoned and do not receive the minimum appropriate attention from officials, the correspondent added, stressing that financial transfers have been suspended for seven months. Meanwhile, when the transfers were interrupted in Tel Aviv, "Israel" as a whole was shaken.

Round-the-clock escalation

In a reading of Wednesday's events in the north, the channel emphasized that the north was living 24 hours of escalation, as the air raid sirens do not stop.

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah announced Wednesday that it launched numerous operations against the Israeli occupation forces, inflicting extensive damage on the Israelis and their positions in northern occupied Palestine.

Within occupied Palestine, Israeli media outlets acknowledged the paramount damage dealt to buildings attacked by Hezbollah in the northern settlements.

Israeli media reported that there was a direct strike by a missile in Metula, which did not activate the emergency alert system.

The Israeli media indicated that a rocket fired from Lebanon landed at the Goma junction, in the Upper al-Jalil, which led to the closure of the road to traffic and pedestrians.

One projectile landed in Moshav Gorn, while sirens sounded in the settlements of Shtula, Zarit, Shomra, and Even Menachem.

Meanwhile, the sounds of explosions were heard along the northern coastline, from Haifa to Nahariya and its surroundings, and smoke plumes were seen from afar.

Balance of terror

A new balance of terror has emerged in the North, one that "Israel" cannot live with even for a "single hour," an op-ed published by Israeli newspaper Maariv on Tuesday said.

Avi Ashkenazi, the military correspondent of the newspaper, recalled in his piece the course of confrontation, the balance of combat, and the rules of engagement between Hezbollah and the occupation since before the withdrawal from southern Lebanon in 2000.

"Any solution in the North requires decision-makers in Israel to work on dismantling this balance of terror," the author began by warning.

According to the Ashkenazi, Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah was able, before the Israeli withdrawal, and over the years, to create engagement rules in his favor in the "security belt in Lebanon," where "he decided that every Israeli attack on a civilian target would lead to rocket fire on Kiryat Shmona and settlements in the Galilee," and that the targets of the rocket launches varied between "open areas and inhibited ones."
