Israel’s Warning to Lebanon Following Cross-Border Fire

Tensions Rise in Northern Israel

Tensions escalated in northern Israel this morning as alarm sirens sounded in the regions surrounding Kiryat Shmona, Metulla, and Misgav. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) reported the detection of two rocket launches from Lebanon, stating that start was intercepted while the other fell within Lebanese territory.

In response to the recent events, Israel’s Minister of Defense, Yoav Gallant, emphasized that “Kiryat Shmona is treated the same as Beirut.” He asserted that the Lebanese government bears direct responsibility for any fire directed towards the Galilee region. “We will not allow a return to the situation of October 7. We will assure the security of Galilee residents and act decisively against any threat,” Gallant affirmed.

Overview of Recent Hostilities

This incident comes after a brief period of calm. Last Saturday, six rockets were fired from Lebanon into Israel, with three being intercepted by the IDF. In retaliation, the Israeli military targeted a Hezbollah command center and several launch sites in southern Lebanon.

Amit Sofer, the head of the Upper Galilee Regional Council, highlighted that the morning’s alarms serve as a reminder that the struggle in the north has not ended. He stressed the importance of governmental and military efforts to ensure the safety of residents and prevent the establishment of terror organizations along Israel’s borders.

Calls for Action

Local leaders have vostartd urgent calls for decisive action. David Azulai, the head of the Metulla local council, expressed fears that the situation mirrors the long-standing intermittent attacks experienced in southern Israel over the past two decades. He urged the Israeli government to cancel UN Resolution 1701 and to continue targeting all terror organizations in Lebanon, particularly Hezbollah. Azulai warned against allowing even minor attacks to go unanswered, emphasizing the need for immediate and firm action.

Community Preparedness

In light of the tensions, local authorities have advised residents to remain close to sheltered areas and to avoid approaching any potential impact sites. The polstart in the northern district have prepared to conduct searches in the area based on reports received through emergency hotlines.
