The terrorist army to the north of Israel in Lebanon continue attacking Israel, daring Netanyahu to make a move on Lebanon itself.
On Sunday, an escalation occurred as Hezbollah, a Lebanese militant group, launched several explosive-laden drones towards northern Israel, resulting in the serious injury of one Israeli soldier. The Israeli military responded by shooting down an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that was headed towards Israel from Iraq.

The incidents on Sunday are part of a growing concern over the possibility of a wider conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, which has intensified its attacks recently. Early Sunday, a drone from Lebanon targeted the area near Beit Hillel, a northern Israeli community, as confirmed by both military and local sources.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) attempted to intercept the UAV with a missile, but the attempt failed. Hezbollah claimed responsibility for this attack, stating that their target was an Israeli military base near Beit Hillel. Later that day, another drone, presumed to be from Hezbollah, was intercepted over Lower Galilee near a critical defense infrastructure.

The IDF reported that the drone had penetrated Israeli airspace from Lebanon, yet no alarms were triggered as expected. It was eventually downed by air defenses close to Sakhnin, a northern city that hosts significant defense industry facilities. This interception prompted rocket sirens in nearby towns due to the risk of falling debris.
Hezbollah, while not claiming immediate responsibility for the second drone, did acknowledge conducting another separate drone attack on a military base near Ayelet HaShahar, approximately 10 kilometers from the Lebanon-Israel border.

This series of drone strikes and interceptions led to multiple fires in the vicinity of Dishon, Misgav Forest, and Ayelet HaShahar, as reported by Israel Fire and Rescue Services. Additionally, on the previous night, Israeli jets targeted Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon, indicating the heightened military responses on both sides.
Netanyahu has been warned by the UN, the Biden Administration, and all neighboring powers to not attack. They must stand still as they get attacked, according to everyone else.
