Expressing frustration and discontent from the Israeli government, the head of the so-called Israeli Supreme Upper al-Jalil Regional Council, Giora Zaltz, told Israeli radio channel FM103, "We feel abandoned and this is a reality that cannot be accepted."

Zaltz made the remarks following a large-scale rocket launching operation conducted by the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon toward the occupied Golan Heights on Sunday dawn. 

He warned of an impending crisis that might occur in Israeli-occupied northern territories "for years to come," while lambasting the Israeli government for its inadequate military and security measures in the region. 

"Even their promises have not been implemented, and still, life continues as if everything is normal," Zaltz said, as the Northern Front with Lebanon heats up. 

He said that Hezbollah is the "strongest, largest, and most dangerous challenge" to "Israel", adding that northern occupied territories cannot be treated as a secondary priority. 

"Fifty missiles fired toward the north, the Hula Valley, and the Golan Heights, and we continue as if everything is normal," he said, adding that the government "must stop treating the north as a peripheral event and we must take action."

Earlier on Saturday, Israeli Reserve Colonel Kobi Marom said that the Israeli war cabinet lost the North, adding that "Israel" is adding that the occupying regime is facing a strategic problem and a long war of attrition.

"As a resident of the north, I believe that the cabinet has lost the north. There is a strategic problem here and a war of attrition that has been going on for months, with no solution in sight," Marom told the Israeli broadcaster Channel 13.

"I believe that the political measures taken by the government and the activation of fire by the Israeli army do not provide the conditions to bring back the 70,000 who have been displaced from their homes," stressing that "the cabinet has not taken care of the north and has not made a decision on the goal," i.e., to remove the "threat" of Hezbollah.

Hezbollah steps up operations

Meanwhile, Channel 12 correspondent Rovi Hammerschlag spoke about "an uneasy weekend" in the northern occupied territories, which includes parts of usurped Palestinian, Lebanese, and Syrian lands. Hammershlag said that Hezbollah has stepped up its operations and used a lot of fire.

He spoke about Hezbollah firing two rockets on Saturday morning, saying that "sirens were sounded in Margaliot and Misgav Am. Later, sirens were sounded on suspicion of drones infiltrating the skies of the Upper al-Jalil," revealing that the anti-air system "failed to intercept them."

The Israeli correspondent also spoke about "two drones crashing near Kfar Blum and a fire breaking out at the scene."

For his part, the channel's military commentator, Roi Sharon, said that "in Israel, they still believe that there is a chance to reach a political settlement that will allow the residents of the north to return, but this is not in the foreseeable future."

The concern of Israeli settlers in the north of occupied Palestine is growing due to the military operations carried out by Hezbollah for more than 6 months in support of the Palestinian people and their Resistance in Gaza and the lack of any horizon for their return and a political solution with Hezbollah.
