Israel's security establishment is continuing to monitor the developments in the North closely. Meanwhile, in the coalition, threats against Hezbollah are becoming more frequent.

After Defense Minister Yoav Gallant warned that "the hourglass is about to reverse course," ex-MK Moshe Feiglin (Likud) said in a conversation with Gadi Ness on his show on Radio North 104.5FM that "Lebanon may be destroyed in the next war."

In the midst of this, former National Security Council (NSC) chief Uzi Dayan warned in an interview with Ness that "we need to be prepared for a rocket attack from Hezbollah that will hit half of the State of Israel."

Dayan referred at the beginning of his conversation with Ness to the rocket fire towards border towns and said: "This damages Israeli deterrence over time. Hezbollah understands that up to a certain extent, they can do things, but that they need to avoid firing at populated areas."

He explained, "In the North, our sovereignty is being violated on a daily basis. Residents are not returning to their communities.
