Israeli media reported on Sunday that conflict with Lebanon will not resemble conflict in the southern region, stressing that “Israel” does not want a battle in the north.

Channel 12 Military affairs commentator Nir Dvori said “No one can say where things are headed in the north, so there are very high preparations there,” adding that “some of the forces that were recruited during the last 24 hours have gone up to the north.”

Moreover, Dvori noted "It must be said that the border with Lebanon is not like the border in the south. Its situation is worse, at least in a large part of the places," stressing that "Therefore, this matter put Israel in another place in terms of protecting the settlements, and it is not in vain that many forces were summoned there."

The Islamic Resistance in #Lebanon has announced that a large number of artillery shells and guided rockets were used, and the sites were directly hit.

Dvori also underscored that "Israel does not want a battle in the north," noting that "at the present time, no front or additional arena has been opened, and the drone (which the Patriots intercepted) is an important point, because there may be someone who tried to challenge and try to examine the readiness of the Israeli army now."

The Israeli commentator then added “Therefore, if we think about the Shebaa Farms, it is an event that has been absorbed, but this (drone) came to indicate something else. In the Israeli army, they cannot say that our direction there is towards war (in the north).”

Israeli death toll nearing 1,000: Israeli media

The media also suggested that the death toll is nearing 1,000, pointing out that there are still quite a few settlers missing in addition to an unestimated number of settlers who were transferred to the Gaza Strip.
