Israeli right-wing outlets are calling for war in Lebanon after Hezbollah's strikes in northern Israel.

  • "The north is burning, and with it is the Israeli Deterrence Force, and this is a Government without a strategy." – Yair Lapid, Israeli Politician and current Leader of Opposition.

  • "The fires in northern Israel are evidence of bankruptcy and the continuation of the containment policy, and it is time for Lebanon to burn." – Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israeli Minister of National Security.

  • Fires have been spreading massively across northern Israel for the last 12 hours. It has yet to be extinguished.

  • A state of emergency has been declared in northern Israel as a result of the firestorm created by Hezbollah strikes.

  • Israeli Media: 'Hezbollah has created an uninhabitable zone of fire in the North; we must go to war in Lebanon as soon as possible, or the Galilee will be at risk of becoming a permanent no-go zone'

The #IDF says it completed a war simulation exercise over the past week, as part of preparations for an escalation in northern #Israel.

The drill, carried out by the Northern Command and other General Staff directorates and wings, included "many scenarios that simulate the expansion of the war in the northern arena, and multi-front war scenarios," the military says.

The IDF also says that as part of the drill, the 36th Division simulated "combat scenarios in the northern arena."

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi visited the Northern Command's underground command center, the Israeli Air Force's command center, and other war rooms amid the drill, the military adds.

This is what West is supporting: "In Gaza, if you ask me, instead of taking them to the south, we should have told them to go to the beaches. Then the navy would know how to load them (onto boats). Put them in the refugee camps with their brothers in #Lebanon... Leave Gaza with nothing in it."

Head of the Metula municipality, a northern Israeli settlement near Lebanon, David Azulay, suggests in a podcast to completely ethnically cleanse Palestinians in Gaza and make it a place "like #Auschwitz."

Escalation in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Zone until the End of 21 May 2024

🔹In the northern #GazaStrip, Israeli forces have blocked two medical facilities and are fighting in Jabaliya. At the same time, air strikes by the Israeli Air Force continue in Gaza and the surrounding area.

🔹In the south of the Enclave, in the area of #Rafah, fighting is also taking place. There are no recorded advances by the IDF, and artillery and aviation do not stop operating in areas controlled by the Palestinians.

🔹In the #WestBank, Israeli security forces carried out several raids, and in #Jenin there have been clashes since the early morning, with local factions of the Palestinian resistance detonating several IEDs.

🔹On the border with #Lebanon, the exchange of strikes between the #IDF and #Hezbollah continues. Despite the liquidation of another field commander last evening, the number of shellings does not yet allow us to talk about an escalation.

🔹In #Yemen's airspace, the Houthis shot down another MQ-9 Reaper. The footage showed the defeat and fall of the UAV. This is the second shot down in May and the fifth since the escalation began on October 7.

The Israeli army spox acknowledges that the strategic balloon system has been attacked and damaged

He adds that there is no compromise to the army's abilities to detect incoming missile threats, and that the system was not operational yet

📝 The system was used several times over Lebanon for tests, and its loss is both a financial loss and an even bigger operational one too when it would have been needed most during a serious damage to the army's radar and detection abilities during a big war.

Hezbullah to release footage of its attack on the strategic Israeli army Sky Dew radar.

The remarkable detail is that they were able to successfully fly a drone over the base and take HQ footage of it!
