In divided "Israel", cracks continue to open up with the Likud party plummeting to its worst performance in 17 years, as per an opinion poll.

Support for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party has plummeted, according to a new poll that shows the Likud would lose more than a third of its seats and be unable to form a majority with his hard-right coalition allies if elections were conducted right now.

The poll for Israeli Channel 13 News revealed that more than two-thirds of Israeli settlers disapproved of Netanyahu's performance in office amid a contentious debate over proposals to tighten control over the Supreme Court, which the government has been forced to postpone, not to mention escalating violence against Palestinians.

The poll further suggested that the Likud party would not win a majority, with 46 seats, down from 64, and that his coalition would win 20 seats in "Israel's" 120-member parliament, down from the 32 seats it gained last November.

This is happening as the judicial reform controversy continues to wreak havoc in Israeli politics, as the far-right Likud party witnessed rifts among its members who are divided between supporting and opposing the reforms.

According to a survey by Camil Fuchs, if elections were held today, Yair Lapid's centrist party would finish in second with 21 seats and Benny Gantz's center-right slate would win 29 seats.

71% of the 699 respondents who were asked about Netanyahu's performance as the Prime Minister said it was "not good" and only 20% thought it was "good".

Meanwhile, violent protests continue in "Tel Aviv" despite the government's decision to suspend the judicial reforms for a later time this year; the protests come amid grave concerns about Israeli security.

Concurrently,  rockets were fired from Syrian territory toward the occupied Golan on Saturday night and Sunday morning. Later, the Syrian air defenses repelled Israeli aggression that targeted points in the southern region with rockets.

The Lebanese border with occupied Palestine also witnessed a security escalation on Thursday after dozens of rockets were fired from Lebanese territory toward the occupied Upper Al-Jalil, in an event described by the Israeli media as the "most dangerous" since the July 2006 war.

Later, the IOF struck three targets in Lebanon.

This comes at a time when the Israeli occupation forces continue to storm Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Al-Quds, as the occupation forces brutally attack the Palestinians who are in retreat in the mosque amid daily killings of Palestinians.
