It was stated in the Kuwaiti newspaper:
The storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque by the Israeli police for two consecutive days, and the settlers’ storming of the Temple Mount under the protection of the Israeli police, coinciding with the Passover holiday, led to the ignition of the Lebanese front in the face of Israel, which had to deal yesterday with the Palestinian anger in Jerusalem and the West Bank and the missiles fired at it from the Gaza Strip. In addition, more than 30 missiles were fired at it from the direction of Lebanon, which led to a massive Israeli alert.
Israel tried to prevent the outbreak of a large-scale confrontation with Hezbollah, and at first contented itself with responding to the source of the rocket fire, which it indicated were Katyusha and Grad rockets, which are short-range rockets and are believed to be possessed by the Palestinian factions in Lebanon, which are different from the party’s more advanced arsenal.
Despite this, the message was clear, as the Israeli security assessment indicated that it is not possible to launch rockets from southern Lebanon, especially this large number of them, without the approval of the party that controls security on the relatively calm borders since the 2006 war, in addition to that the firing of rockets coincided with a visit The head of the political bureau of Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh, conducted it to Beirut, where he is scheduled to meet Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah and participate in the commemoration of Quds Day, which the party organizes on the last Friday of Ramadan. Nasrallah had met a few days ago with the head of the Islamic Jihad movement linked to Iran, Ziyad al-Nakhala, and the military official in Hamas, Saleh al-Arouri.
According to information from Beirut, the work of the joint military operations room, which was established a while ago between the forces of the axis of resistance, was activated, especially between Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad and Hamas, in addition to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.
Israel announced the opening of shelters in the western Galilee, and it also vowed to take measures to protect its security and retaliate. It closed the airspace from Haifa to the border with Lebanon, evacuated the shores of Nahariya, opened public shelters in all towns bordering the Lebanese border, and bombed a number of towns in the south. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu chaired a high-level security meeting of the security cabinet to follow up on developments.
Earlier, the Israeli army said that Palestinian gunmen fired rockets yesterday at southern Israel for the second day. Clashes also broke out between Palestinians, settlers, and Israeli security forces in the courtyard of Al-Aqsa Mosque.
