Hebrew sources reported Friday morning that 1091 rockets were launched from Lebanon towards northern Israel last month alone.
The sources pointed out that this was three times as much as those that landed in Israel at the start of 2024 according to Khabrini.
Hezbollah has joined the fight against Israel ever since the latter launched a war on the Gaza Strip after 7 October, 2023.

Retired Israeli General Yitzhak Brik warned in an article published in the Jewish daily Haaretz that Israel will collapse within a year if the war of attrition against Hamas and the Lebanese Hezbollah continues.
Brik, nicknamed the “Prophet of Wrath” in Israel because he predicted an attack by thousands of Palestinian militants on the settlements surrounding the Gaza Strip similar to the Aqsa Flood Battle added that Defense Minister Yoav Galant is beginning to realize that if a regional war breaks out due to the failure to reach a Gaza agreement, Israel will be in danger.
“I assume Galant now realizes that the war has lost its purpose, we are drowning in the Gaza quagmire and losing our soldiers there without any chance of achieving the main goal of the war, which is to topple Hamas,” said.
He stressed all paths at the political and military levels are leading Israel to the abyss whilst stressing that replacing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his extremist partners could save Israel from an existential spiral that could soon reach the point of no return.
With American support, Israel has been waging a devastating war on Gaza since7 October, leaving more than 133,000 dead and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 10,000 missing, amid massive destruction and deadly famine.
In disregard of the international community, Israel continues the war, ignoring the UN Security Council resolution to stop it immediately, and the International Court of Justice’s orders to take measures to prevent acts of genocide and improve the catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza according to JO.24.

Northern Israel appear to be in a blaze with fires as a result of incoming Hezbollah rockets from cross-border attacks with Lebanon with reports of five Israelis wounded.
Raging fires are being reported in the Galilee area as a result of 55 rockets fired launched, Tuesday morning, according to Anadolu.
The fires are trending on the social media with images. Firefighters have been on the seen battling the blazes that seems to continue on a daily basis.
The Israeli army stated it only detected 55 rockets but others say it was a barrage of rockets, anything from 60 to 120 rockets, on different areas of northern Israel and occupied the Golan Heights.
Cross-border fighting continues between Hezbollah fighters and the Israeli army with the latter responding by attacking Al Mansouri and Al Taybeh in southern Lebanon.

Head of the Higher Galilee Council Giora Zaltz stated, Saturday, Hezbollah’s military operations in the north of Israel are becoming more deadly and powerful and the level of security in these northern regions on the Lebanese border is deteriorating.
Zaltz mocked the government’s handling of the security situation in the north in an interview on the official Israeli channel, Kan, saying the Netanyahu government discovered in recent weeks there is an enemy on the northern border called Hezbollah, and is waiting for its response to the assassination of Commander Foad Shukr in the southern suburb of Beirut.
He pointed out the situation here is deteriorating from bad to worse, as sirens sound daily because of drones and missiles by Hezbollah on this area, adding there are dozens of destroyed homes, thousands of burned dunams, and there are dead and wounded among the soldiers and settlers, and the fact that more than 100,000 settlers who have been evacuated here:
“We are now without any vital services such as health, banks, educational systems, and others,” he stressed.
Losing parts of the north
Zaltz pointed out Israel is losing parts of the north whether it be settlements, paralyzed economy, and paralyzed education, calling for a changing in the rules and working on a clear strategy to return the Israeli settlers back to the Galilee.
An earlier report aired by the Israeli Channel 12 stated the Israeli settlers have no future horizon, are desperate for news that barely reaches them, and they do not know when they will return to their homes as many said.
Psychologically trauma
Israeli newspaper Maariv revealed in the past few days, there has been a significant increase in the number of calls to psychological treatment centers in the northern regions, following the drone attacks and rockets launching from Lebanon on the western Galilee region.
Director of the Social Development Dept Uri Charles Friedland said that there has been a significant increase in the number of recorded calls to psychological treatment centers as the escalation of security incidents continue
Friedland explained the Department “is working on three main pillars: Individual care, community support, and rehabilitating authorities in the field of mental health in emergency situations.”
The Israeli media previously revealed an increase in the number of psychological injuries among settlers, admitting they collapsing psychologically, and that a number of officers and soldiers committed suicide after the events of 7 October, 2023 according to Jo.24.

Israel may have finally carried out its threat with its deadly military strike, Tuesday, on the southern suburb of Beirut.
The strike as reported by the media is devastating with pictures of large explosions trending on the social media.
Different scenarios are being draw up. Reports range from the strike being near the Hezbollah Shura headquarters, a nearby hospital and an apartment in a building belonging Fouad Shukr, a senior director of the Hezbollah’s missile accuracy project and a senior advisor to Hassan Nasrallah.
Reports also say the target through an Israeli drone with missiles was aimed at the Rabie building in Haret Hreik, a Hezbollah stronghold. The building subsequently collapsed with at least two people reported killed.
Lebanese sources four say floors were leveled to the ground with rescue and ambulance crews continuing to remove the rubble and transport the injured with the number of injuries initially rising to 10.
However, the injuries continued to rise with a four killed and 80 injured including six children that arrived at the Bahman hospital.
While Israeli sources point to the success of the operation Hezbollah denies that Shukr was targeted and killed. The Israeli army said it targeted the commander responsible for the military operation on a school in Majdal Shams in the occupied Golan Heights in which 12 children were killed, Saturday.
An Israeli military source said: “This is our response to the shooting of Majdal Shams…we have no intention of starting an all-out war. If Hezbollah does not respond, the event will end.”
But people in the southern suburb of Beirut are up-in-arms. They are calling for retaliation with chats of support for Hezbollah and its chief Hassan Nasrallah who is promising to hit back at Israel. He has already warned that if Beirut and the southern suburbs are hit, Tel Aviv will also be hit.
And this suggests that this is the beginning of escalation between Hezbollah and Israel that could lead to an all-out war.
