Rocket sirens are heard in the town of Kiryat Shmona in northern Israel.
Around the same time, War Cabinet Minister Benny Gantz, visiting Ma’alot-Tarshiha in the Upper Galilee, says he has invited top Western diplomats to visit the area and realize the threat posed by Hezbollah.
He warns that “if the world doesn’t get Hezbollah away from the border, Israel will do so.”
Israel has warned it will no longer tolerate the presence of the terror group along the frontier, where it could attempt to carry out an attack similar to the massacres committed by Hamas on October 7.
Since that date, Hezbollah-led forces have attacked Israeli communities and military posts along the border on a near-daily basis, though they have attempted to limit the scope of the attacks in an apparent bid to avoid all-out war.
