Israeli officers warn of increased threat of Radwan force incursion

The Israeli occupation forces are growing more worried by the day as the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon renders their nights sleepless.

Israeli Northern Command officers have raised alarms over a growing threat of a potential ground incursion by Hezbollah along the northern border of occupied Palestine. According to a report by the Israeli news outlet Walla, the officers described the threat as "more realistic than ever before."

The officers highlighted that Hezbollah's elite Radwan Force remains capable of launching a coordinated attack, including attempts to infiltrate Israeli settlements or military positions.

They emphasized that those who believe Hezbollah is not training to breach the northern border are "mistaken and delusional." The officers urged that everyone should operate under the assumption that Hezbollah possesses the capability to infiltrate, plant their flag in a settlement or military post, and set buildings ablaze.

This comes after the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) shared a document with northern mayors detailing the "Updated Scenario" for an all-out war with Hezbollah, according to The Times of Israel.

This document outlines potential impacts, including three-day power outages in some cities, water supply breakdowns lasting several days, disconnection of landlines for up to eight hours, cellphone communication disruptions for up to 24 hours, and brief local interruptions of radio and internet services.

The document further highlighted that up to 40% of "Israel's" workforce might be unable to work during the war, and service providers from outside the affected areas may be unavailable.

The security establishment, as reported by The Times of Israel, anticipates an unprecedented attack on "Israel" with hundreds of rockets carrying warheads ranging from 50 kilograms to 500 kilograms.

Hezbollah is expected to initially target IOF facilities, followed by infrastructure and then civilian areas, though priorities may shift, as per the report.

The group may aim at targets as far south as Tel Aviv, potentially prompting mass evacuations to al-Quds and southern regions, it added.

Evacuees would be housed in hotels, many of which are currently sheltering displaced Israeli settlers from the North. If al-Quds hotels are full, evacuees would be accommodated in city schools.

Plans are underway to set up tent cities in the South, including locations like Timna, north of Eilat, and Eshkol Park in al-Naqab. This model is similar to the tents arranged by Arcadi Gaydamak at Nitzanim Beach in 2006 for settlers evacuated during the 2006 July War and in 2007 at Yarkon Park for Sderot settlers, the report emphasized.

Israelis have been stocking up on supplies, while occupied al-Quds' municipality advised residents to “clean and prepare their bomb shelters,” warning they must be able to reach shelters in 90 seconds.
