Netanyahu’s war cabinet apparently cannot count on American military support should it decide to make good on Minister Gallant’s threat.

“Hezbollah looks at what is happening in Gaza and it understands very well – what we did in Gaza can also be done in Beirut,” declared Gallant.

The IRGC warned there would be retribution for Mousavi's death: "The barbaric Zionist regime will pay the price for this crime."

Israel sustained crucial damage to its deterrence in the 2006 Lebanon war, which led, eventually, to Hamas planning and carrying out the October 7 massacre.

Projectiles from Lebanon hit 86 houses, a member of Manara says.

Netanyahu preferred to conduct one major campaign at a time, but as things stand now, the all-out war in the north has only been postponed.

Rosh Ha'Ayin resident IDF Sgt. Amit Hod Ziv, z"l, 19, fought with the 188th Armored Brigade's 71st Battalion.

"It's a long way to go still, but we have this vision of a new Gaza headed by people who are sane."

Miraculously, no physical injuries were reported in the rocket barrage aimed at central Israel.

In terms of measurement, the strikes did not take place so "deep" in to Lebanon although it was deeper than the IDF has ventured during the current war.

"The facts on the ground speak for themselves: Hezbollah’s violations of UN Resolution 1701 have rendered it effectively null and void."

The air strike targeted a building containing a Hezbollah terror cell and military compound.

The rockets were launched near U.N. compounds, in violation of UNSC Resolution 1701, because Hezbollah really cares about what the UN thinks.

The residence was heavily damaged but because most of the kibbutz had already been evacuated, no one was injured in the attack.

"The increase in attacks by Hezbollah with the backing of Iran requires Israel to remove the threat to the residents of the north."

The Ma'alot-Tarshiha municipality announced it was holding a “comprehensive discussion regarding the preparation and future feasibility of evacuation.”

There is no doubt that Israel has the military capability to bring Lebanon right back to its devastated state back in 2006.

Two of the drones were shot down by the IDF Aerial Defense Array (Iron Dome), but it was not immediately clear how many escaped the interceptions.

"There are no limitations -- no limitations -- on Israel's side on the provision of food, water, medicine and shelters to the people of Gaza."

Israel Defense Forces responded to the missile attack with combat helicopters, tanks and artillery fire.

"We know that more forces will be required at the borders, more capabilities and an increased presence alongside the residents, in order to return safely, and that’s what we will do."

Lebanon's response: "“No one can impose conditions, amendments or new arrangements on Lebanon, and any step in this direction would be rejected and confronted by us."

Overnight between Sunday and Monday, three Israeli soldiers were wounded when Hezbollah shelled an IDF post near Shtula.

Iran's Hezbollah proxy group in Lebanon attacked Israel multiple times during the day on Sunday, triggering Red Alert incoming rocket sirens in various communities.

The soldiers suffered shrapnel and other wounds but were not in life-threatening condition, according to a hospital spokesperson from Ziv Medical Center.

These were the first rocket sirens to be heard in the Jewish State since the start of the "hudna" last weekend.

In 2023, very few Israeli residents of the northern border communities would agree to return home unless Hezbollah is driven, by peaceful means or otherwise, north of the Litani River.

At around 12:30 pm, Hezbollah fired a particularly intense barrage of dozens of rockets towards northern Israel, the largest since Oct. 7.

Rocket fire aimed at Israel has also continued from across Israel's northern and southern border from the early morning hours and throughout the day.

In addition to attacks by 3 suicide drones, 25 rockets were fired by Hezbollah from Lebanon toward multiple locations along the border, including close to IDF army posts. The IDF has also been busy with air strikes and artillery fire.
