Israel sharpens warning to Lebanon as cross-border hostilities spike
Israel said it was poised to impose quiet on the Lebanese front as hostilities spiked on Sunday, with Hezbollah wounding civilians in a cross-border missile attack and the Israeli air force bombing sites linked to the Iranian-backed group.
"The IDF (military) is focussed on Gaza but we are at a very high state of readiness in the north," Hagari said. "Lebanon's citizens will bear the cost of this recklessness, and of Hezbollah's decision to be the defender of Hamas-ISIS."
They're saying the quiet part out loud again, being transparent about their indiscriminate murder of civilians.
Israel is starting to panic; their leaders’ racist speech against Arabs for years is coming back to haunt them because they realize the neighbors they hate outnumber them.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
JERUSALEM, Nov 12 (Reuters) - Israel said it was poised to impose quiet on the Lebanese front as hostilities spiked on Sunday, with Hezbollah wounding civilians in a cross-border missile attack and the Israeli air force bombing sites linked to the Iranian-backed group.
The chief Israeli military spokesperson, Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, described Hezbollah as "the defender of Hamas-ISIS", in reference to the Islamist Palestinian faction whose cross-border rampage against Israel on Oct. 7 sparked a devastating Gaza war.
Hezbollah, whose rocket arsenal is widely believed to dwarf that of Hamas, has been carrying out relatively limited attacks in solidarity with the Palestinians.
But with at least 70 of the group's fighters, along with several Lebanese civilians, having been killed in Israeli counterstrikes, Hezbollah's tactics have expanded to include rockets with 300kg-500kg warheads and kamikaze drones.
On Sunday, Hezbollah claimed responsibility for a guided missile attack that Israel said wounded at least two electrical company workers sent to carry out repairs at a border community.
A rocket set off sirens near the Israeli port city of Haifa, 27 km (17 miles) from the Lebanese border, but caused no casualties.

I really hope that Syria, Lebanon & Jordan don't become the battlefield for a Iranian proxy-war against Israel. These people have seen far too much death and destruction fighting amongst themselves already.
Whether they're supporting, turning a blind eye to or incapable of preventing the activities of Hezbollah, it doesn't really matter. These attacks are carried out from their territories, which essentially makes them war-zones.
