Report: Security assessment is that Hezbollah will try to fire rockets at areas even deeper into Israel

The security assessment is that Hezbollah will try to reach areas even deeper into Israel, after the terror group fired rockets earlier this morning at the Haifa and Jezreel Valley areas, some 50 kilometers (31 miles) south of the border with Lebanon, according to a television news report.

Without citing sources, the Channel 12 news report says that more rockets could be launched at Israel in the coming hours, noting that some 1.5 million Israelis are now in Hezbollah’s line of fire.

Hezbollah claimed that the rocket fire this morning targeted a Rafael defense firm facility in the Haifa area and the Israeli Air Force’s Ramat David Airbase near Yokneam in the Jezreel Valley.

The Channel 12 report also says that Hezbollah has not yet used the precision missiles in its arsenal, out of fears that it could lead to all-out war with Israel, after 11 months of cross-border attacks that the group says are support of Gaza amid the ongoing war there.

Quoting an anonymous source, the report further says that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and IDF chief Herzi Halevi are in agreement on the gradual raising of pressure against Hezbollah, which has its risks but avoids sparking a full-scale war.

Other voices in the room, according to the report, have called for a ground offensive in Lebanon and more bombings in Beirut in order to restore security to the northern border.
