Israeli media reported today that the Israeli occupation Ministry of Health ordered hospitals and medical centers in the settlements in northern occupied Palestine to prepare for the possibility of accommodating thousands as tensions escalate between Israeli occupation forces and the Lebanese Resistance. 

Israeli occupation broadcaster KAN reported that the Ministry has called on medical centers in the North to prepare for the possibility of going into "deserted island mode," being left without medical supplies, medicine, and food for days.

The Ministry had also asked hospitals to go into emergency mode within a few hours and requested that they maintain a 50% occupancy rate.

Meanwhile, the editorial page of The Jerusalem Post attended to the deteriorating health conditions in "Israel" since the onset of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, explaining that nothing could've prepared the medical establishment for the influx of the injured resulting from the war over the last three months. 

Only a month into the war, the Health Ministry informed the Knesset that the health sector was spread too thin in trying to accommodate the massive number of hospitalized soldiers and settlers, who sustained injuries during the war, in addition to the usual number of patients moving through the medical system, not to mention the shortage of healthcare workers and hospital beds.

Hezbollah's use of anti-tank missiles unprecedented: Israeli media

Israeli media reported reported earlier that Hezbollah's use of anti-tank missiles as a sniper weapon is "unprecedented."

The Israeli Haaretz newspaper disclosed that starting from October 7, Hezbollah has launched mortars and rockets at IOF outposts. However, the remarkable increase in the deployment of anti-tank missiles from Lebanon is noteworthy in the ongoing confrontations. Hezbollah's utilization of this precision weapon is unparalleled in "Israel" and possibly globally.

According to figures obtained by Haaretz, the list of settlements hit by anti-tank missiles and the damage to civilian infrastructure is long. It spreads along the entire length of the Lebanese border. The newspaper detailed that numerous housing units, public buildings, chicken coops, businesses, and vehicles in the moshavim "Avivim", "Dovev", "Zar'it", and "Shtula", as well as the kibbutzim "Misgav Am" and Sa'sa', along with other settlements, have been impacted.

Moreover, the newspaper revealed that the "range of the anti-tank missiles fired from Lebanon at civilian targets in the al-Jalil now reaches Moshav Beit Hillel," located four kilometers (2.5 miles) from the border; and Kibbutz "Kfar Szold" in the Houla Valley, six kilometers from the border, whose settlers have not been evacuated.

A senior researcher at the "Institute for National Security Studies,: Yehoshua Kalisky, explained that "the manner of their current use by Hezbollah is unprecedented in the world. This is massive use, daily, against civilians, soldiers, vehicles, chicken coops, and houses in the north. Against anything that moves, or does not move, and there is no defense against it." 

On another note, the newspaper wrote that even though the "Trophy system has been proven to provide tanks and APCs with an effective defense against anti-tank missiles in Gaza," the IOF lack the capability to intercept these missiles when they are directed at squads of soldiers, vehicles, and buildings along occupied Palestine's northern border.
