Israeli Channel 13's correspondent to the North reported that the gravest threat to Israeli forces in the North is anti-tank missiles, and Hezbollah recognizes this vulnerability and tries to exploit it. 

The correspondent added that the past 24 hours have been very tense, with missile attacks being reported all across the border.

The most notable recent events were the attack against "Beit Hillel" where a vehicle transporting soldiers was targeted by Hezbollah anti-tank missiles and the firing of rockets from the Syrian Golan territories. 

'Strategic Mistake'

On his part, Colonel Kobe Merom, of the Israeli Army reserves, stated that "the reality of Hezbollah's presence a few kilometers away from the border is intolerable."

"Israel is committing a serious strategic mistake in the northern arena," Merom said in a radio interview,  noting that "the dangerous incident that occurred in Beit Hillel only proved to those who did not understand that the reality of Hezbollah's presence a few kilometers from the border is intolerable."

11 injured according to Israeli media

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah carried out several operations against Israeli military targets and sites on Sunday, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported.

The most prominent of the operations was against the "Beit Hillel" base. In this operation, Hezbollah fighters managed to hit an Israeli target inside the base with a guided missile, despite it being over 3km away from the Lebanese border.

On that note, Israeli media admitted 11 were injured in the attack targeting a military vehicle with a guided missile at "Beit Hillel" in Upper al-Jalil. 

Our correspondent also pointed out that the sensitive military site hosts an Iron Dome battery system and is located at the end of the runway of the "Kiryat Shmona" airport.

Commenting on the operation, "Israel's" Kan TV stated that the operation against the "Beit Hillel" site was exceptional due to the settlement's distance from the border with Lebanon.
