The former spokesperson of the Israeli Occupation Forces described what is happening in northern occupied Palestine as a "dramatic escalation" that could lead to a "deterioration of the situation" in light of the intensifying attacks against Israeli sites along the borders. 

Israeli media reported that this Thursday morning was very tense at the Lebanese-Palestinian borders, indicating that the alarm sirens sounded three times in half an hour.

Additionally, the correspondent of Channel 13 in the north stated that the firing of rockets from Lebanon toward the North is not stopping, and is reaching all the settlements in the north. 

The Israeli correspondent reported that the scope of operations is expanding in the North and the range of rocket fire is scaling up, noting that the latest salvos fired reached the outskirts of the settlements of "Safad". 

10 operations before noon

As Israelis grow more concerned about escalations with the Lebanese Resistance, the IOF closed roads in the Upper Al-Jalil: fearing renewed rocket attacks by Hezbollah, a Channel 12 correspondent reported.

Israeli media explained that the IOF blocked roads leading to the settlements of "Menara" "Malkia" "Tel Ramim" and others.

Two houses in the settlement of "Menara" were directly hit by an anti-tank missile launched from Lebanon, according to Israeli media reports.

In the same context, the head of the "Shlomi" settlement council in the north warned settlers not to return, even in the event of a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, saying, "There is no ceasefire here; we are in a state of war, so do not take risks and come."
