Documentation of the interception of an aircraft over the skies of the Gaza Strip (IDF spokesman)
In the shadow of the already existing security tensions in Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria and the Gaza Strip, dozens of rockets were launched today (Thursday) from Lebanese territory towards the Western Galilee, in a tension not seen during normal times, since the Second Lebanon War.
Alarms sounded in the settlements of Shlomi and Betz and also in the Western Galilee region, and the IDF reported several rockets intercepted by Iron Dome and at least two falling on Israeli territory. This, while thousands of families and travelers took advantage of the holiday to travel in the north of the country. Following the events, the
IDF Alerts and fighter planes hover in the air in the border area.
It was also reported that the IDF is preparing for the possibility of ground infiltration, as well as aerial infiltration by unmanned aircraft. The Aviation Authority announced that due to the situation - the northern airspace is closed to civilian flights.
Although Hezbollah has yet to comment on the firing of rockets into Israeli territory, a military official who spoke with Walla!
He estimated that the announcement published this morning by the terrorist organization Hezbollah, in which the Lebanese-Arab sympathizes with the Temple Mount events, was in fact the sign of things to come.
For the time being, it has not been definitively clarified who is responsible for the launches, and the intelligence officials in the defense system are looking into the matter.
Despite the assessment in the security establishment that Palestinian units in southern Lebanon are the ones responsible for the launches - the large volume of launches, approaching twenty rockets - it is not possible without the involvement of Hezbollah in one way or another.
The degree of involvement of the responsible parties and dispatch centers is now being checked.
