Military expert Major General Fayez Al-Duwairi said that the bombing of the Kiryat Shmona settlement on the eve of an expected speech by the Secretary-General For Lebanese Hezbollah Hassan Nasrallah may be referring to the possibility of entering into an open battle with the occupation army.
And it was Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades military section Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas announced earlier today that it bombed the Israeli settlement with 12 missiles through its fighters in Lebanon.
If these attacks are a prelude to a speech Nasrallah It means that the party will begin expanding the scope of clashes between the party and the Israeli side, and perhaps open war will begin at once, according to what Al-Duwairi said in an analysis for Al Jazeera.
Kiryat Shmona is about two kilometers from the Lebanese border, and it suffered direct hits today, with the strikes deepening to about 5 kilometers, reaching Shebaa Farms occupied areas, and the intensity of fire was greater than during the past weeks.
Israel’s northern front on Lebanon’s southern border witnessed an escalation in clashes on Thursday with an attack launched by Hezbollah with two drones, and the Israeli occupation army responded with artillery and air bombardment on Lebanese areas, including the towns of Khiam and Aita al-Shaab.
The Al-Qassam Brigades in Lebanon possess weapons that are primarily reverse-engineered rockets that are manufactured with the help of Hezbollah, according to Al-Duwairi.
According to the military expert, these missiles range between Katyusha rocket Conventional and other missiles used by Hezbollah in its operations.
Regarding what the current increasing clashes on the border strip between Israel and Lebanon could reach, Al-Duwairi says that the matter depends on the time frame of Hezbollah’s escalation on the one hand and the commitment of the Israeli response to discipline and not exceeding the unwritten agreements applicable in the rules of engagement between the two sides on the other hand.
The military expert believes that Hezbollah will adopt a policy of action and reaction, and therefore if Israel increases the depth and strength of its operations, it will respond in the same way.
Regarding Hezbollah directing two drones to Israeli military areas in the occupied Shebaa Farms for the first time since the start of the clashes, Al-Duwairi said that this area is the egg in the Lebanese-Israeli conflict. Because Hezbollah treats it as a legal and constitutional umbrella for its conflict with the occupying state.
In this context, the expert on Israeli affairs, Muhannad Mustafa, said that the escalation that occurred today on the northern and southern fronts of Israel is expected because it is a cumulative result of what has been happening since the seventh of last October.
Mustafa said that Israel tried to contain the clashes with Hezbollah so that it does not reach a comprehensive confrontation, but it is a difficult matter to control due to the accumulation of events, from his point of view.
Mustafa believes that Israel is experiencing a current dilemma, as evidenced by the fact that its Chief of Staff warned Hezbollah on Thursday against opening a front in the north because the occupation army is ready to fight on two fronts, which is something that contradicts what we have been seeing on the ground since. Operation Al-Aqsa Floodhe says.
Destruction of the Merkava
On Israel’s southern front, in the Gaza Strip, the Al-Qassam Brigades published a photo of a tank Merkava An Israeli said it was able to destroy it with an Al-Yassin 105 missile.
The destruction of the Merkava represents a blow to the occupation’s hypothesis, which says that it is a tank completely immune to the weapons possessed by the Hamas movement, as it is the newest and best-armed tank in the world, according to Al-Duwairi.
Al-Duwairi said that the Al-Yassin 105 shell consists of two explosive charges, the first of which penetrates the tank’s fortifications and the second destroys the body itself.
Israel did not officially announce the destruction of the tank at the hands of the resistance, but Al-Duwairi confirmed that the Tiger armored vehicle, one of which Tel Aviv admitted to destroying with the Al-Yassin shell, has the same armor as the Merkava, which suffers from a weakness not found in the “Tiger”, which is the Burj area, which reinforces the Al-Qassam story, in his opinion.
The speed of the Al-Yassin missile reaches 300 meters per second and requires great accuracy in aiming because it is carried on the shoulder and relies on visual shooting, which means that the shooter has only two seconds to aim if the tank is moving.
