The military affairs correspondent for Israel Hayom confirmed to Channel 12 that "Israel has not yet defeated Hezbollah," emphasizing that "the situation is far from over."

He noted that this sentiment is being discussed not only by "settlers in the north and soldiers fighting in southern Lebanon but also by residents of Tel Aviv who entered the fortified areas yesterday."

Channel 12 responded by stating, "There is no doubt that Israel's gains are diminishing over time, while Hezbollah's achievements are on the rise," adding that this shift is "a fundamental reality of war and a well-understood dynamic."

Similarly, strategic advisor Barak Sari told the same channel that "Hezbollah is moving toward a prolonged war of attrition," adding that "Israel is less equipped for this type of conflict, as it seeks to return to normalcy and restore its economy and society."

Our return to the north is still far away: Israeli media

Moshe Davidovich, head of the Front Line Settlements Forum in northern occupied Palestine, described "a bizarre state of calm mixed with extreme panic" caused by the intensity of rocket and drone attacks from Lebanon over the past three days.

Davidovich told "Israel's" Channel 12 that this morning "began with a drone attack, and this has now become routine," noting that "as the days go by, Hezbollah's pressure continues to intensify."

He continued, "We want to bring the settlers back to the north, but calm must be restored first, which has not happened yet and is still a long way off," adding that "the situation remains very sensitive, with tensions running extremely high."

Davidovich also stated that "the north has been in a state of great chaos in recent days," emphasizing that "the army is mistaken regarding the issue of the settlers' return."

In this context, Davidovich pointed out that the settlers "do not feel safe, nor do they believe they can return to their homes, as they feel the mission is far from over." 

Lebanese rockets pound occupied north, Tel Aviv

Sirens blasted in tens of settlements in Tel Aviv after three rockets were launched from Lebanon toward central occupied Palestine, the Israeli occupation military spokesperson admitted on Tuesday. As a result, Ben Gurion Airport, which is located in easternmost Tel Aviv, went out of service for over half an hour, according to the Israeli Channel 12. 

Simultaneously, sirens also blared in Nahariya in West al-Jalil after rockets launched from Lebanon made an impact in its Industrial Zone, killing two Israelis and wounding two others, Channel 14's correspondent reported. Israeli media then revealed that the casualties were members of the settlement's reserve force. 

Israeli media had announced that "Hezbollah's rockets traveled tens of kilometers and forced millions of settlers into shelters."

Tel Aviv is considered the occupation's economic, vital, and political nucleus. Demographically, the city has become a refuge for settlers fleeing from the Gaza envelope, as well as from the north up to Haifa, assuming they would be safe from Resistance rockets.

However, on Tuesday, Hezbollah announced that it had targeted the Tel Nof airbase, south of Tel Aviv, with a barrage of high-end Fadi 6 rockets.
