Despite 200 Missiles Israel Sees ‘No Escalation’

The north of occupied Palestine is in a flare up with the Israeli army and Hezbollah in battle and intense exchange of fire. The war drums are beating on the Israel-Lebanese border once again.

The latest skirmishes are the result of the assassination of military commander Mohammad Naimah Nasser according to Hezbollah source speaking to Al Jazeera.

It’s reported that Israeli soldiers have been injured following a double attack by Hezbollah involving drones and rockets launched in northern Israel and which created multiple fires including blazes in the occupied Golan Heights.

The fires were the result of an unprecedented barrage of drones and rockets launched from southern Lebanon that struck the Galilee and the Golan Heights with sirens going off non-stop for 40 minutes.

Reports also show over 100 rockets were fired towards the Israeli-occupied territories within the span of few minutes with explosions heard after a major drone attack with 25 drones falling on Israeli settlements.

Officials in the Israeli army are still playing the fire incidents down saying there is “no indication of a major escalation” according to Israel’s Channel 12 despite the killing of one Israeli soldier and the wounding of others in the Golan Heights.

There are reported fires in Nahariya in northern Israel with Hezbollah missiles targeting the 91st division in the Israeli Ilayit headquarters. It is reported that trains have stopped running between Haifa and Nahariya due to the dangerous security situation.

Rockets also landed in a commercial center in Accre with reports of a direct hit after sirens went off in the town as well as the Haifa Bay.

Hezbollah latter stated that it fired more that 200 missiles of various types on the Galilee and the occupied Golan Heights and these were as a direct result of the Israeli aggression on Gaza.

The rockets and fires created a wave of evacuations from northern Israel through army helicopters. There was an onslaught on the Yarden Barracks and Biet Hamqass in which a a soldier was killed and three others wounded as a result of a direct hit on a military vehicle.

Israeli settlers are reported to be vey angry with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ““because he left us to our fate and he is the most failed prime minister in the history of Israel.”  

“It was the rainiest day [Thursday]. Dozens of fires broke out in thousands of acres of forests and open areas. There are forests that were completely burned and it will take 10 to 15 years to restore them.” Director of the Upper Galilee and Golan region regarding the fires that broke out Thursday in the north due to launch rockets from Lebanon:
