Israeli media cited a senior Israeli Occupation security official warning that in a month, "Israel will have issues with the army's readiness for war."

In further detail, the occupation's i24 News website reported that the security official estimated that the Israeli Occupation Forces could lose its readiness in about a month, should the Israeli Occupation government continue with judicial amendments.

The source also noted, "We will especially face problems in the air force," saying that "the main effort is to do everything we can to prevent loss of efficiency."

Meanwhile, the Israeli Occupation's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, decided to adopt the approach led by the Chief of Staff and the Occupation's Minister of Security in an attempt to de-escalate the situation and drive reservists to return to their ranks, according to the Israeli media.

Israeli media said, "Netanyahu wants to work quietly, with the help of persuasion and support for recruits, so that the efficiency of the Israeli military will not be damaged."

Hezbollah preparing 'surprises', settlers want answers: Israeli media

Hezbollah is preparing "surprises" for the occupation entity, Israeli media warned on Thursday, leaving the occupation entity in a state of high alert amid uncertainty about the Resistance group's plans to confront continued Israeli aggressions.

The current situation on the Palestinian-Lebanese border "reminds us of the atmosphere that prevailed before the Yom Kippur War" (October 1973 war), said Brigadier General Uri Agmon of the "Commanders for Israel's Security" organization.

Agmon addressed Hezbollah's recent activity on the border, amid Israeli assurances that the situation is under control.

He reminded that the Israeli leadership made the same assurances prior to the October 1973 war, which marked significant losses in the ranks of the occupation's army and military hardware, when the Syrian and Egyptian armies were conducting increased military exercises and intensifying training.

Agmon explained that the threat emanating from Lebanon is divided into two parts: the first is the threat of missile strikes, and the second is the "flat threat", which is based on the possibility of Hezbollah fighters crossing over to occupied Al-Jaleel.

This matter is being discussed in Hezbollah media, he claimed.

He concluded his remarks by saying that the most serious problem we are currently facing "in this war is the element of surprise."
