Former Israeli Defense Minister Lieberman said, “The Israeli government lost the war in the north.”

In this context, the Arab affairs commentator on Channel 13, Hezi Simantov, said, “Hezbollah will continue to use North Square until it sees a change in the Gaza Strip,” adding: “There is no change in Gaza, and Yahya Sinwar has not been liquidated, and Israel is not able to completely eliminate Hamas.”


He added, “The danger of eliminating Hamas, dissolving it, and removing it from the Hamas-Iran-Hezbollah-Syria axis is not on the agenda.”

He warned that “what is happening on the northern border and in the frontline and northern towns is an unbearable situation, and no one lives there, and no one wants to return there, and this matter is considered an achievement for Hezbollah.” Israeli Member of the Knesset from the Likud Party, Tali Gotlev, said, “Hezbollah is not a deterrent. It mocks us and attacks us all the time, when it suits it.”

Yesterday, the former head of the Israeli Military Intelligence Division, Amos Yadlin, said that “Nasrallah’s hand is uppermost in the north,” referring to the superiority of the Islamic resistance in Lebanon in the ongoing confrontations with Israel, on the Lebanese-Palestinian border.

Yadlin added, “Hezbollah is carrying out a war of attrition for us, making tens of thousands of Israelis flee, and returning them to the north is a very big challenge.”


Commenting on Yadlin’s statement, the military affairs commentator on Israeli Radio, Amir Bar Shalom, said, “What Nasrallah did was to drive a wedge between “Israel” and the residents of the north.”

The Israeli Channel 12 said, “Many Israelis did not leave the north with their consent, and some were forced out, and they fear returning to the settlements.”

Yadlin had said earlier that “the Israeli army is still far from achieving its goals” in the aggression against the Gaza Strip, and the time factor is not in Israel’s interest, neither in the north, nor in the economy, nor in relation to pressure from abroad.

The statements of Israeli officials and the Israeli media come at a time when confrontations continue between the Islamic resistance in Lebanon and the Israeli occupation.

The resistance announced today, Saturday, that it had shot down, via a surface-to-air missile, an Israeli Hermes 450 drone, which is a multi-mission combat drone. The military media published scenes of it.
