The tension soars: the Israeli army launches an attack against Lebanon and Gaza
The Israeli army announced that it launched an attack on Lebanon in response to rocket fire yesterday. “The Israeli army is now attacking Lebanon,” the army said in a written statement. We will announce the details later.” No other details were provided in the statement.
On the other hand, the Lebanese press wrote that the Israeli army shelled an area near the er-Reşadiye Palestinian refugee camp, located in southern Lebanon. In the news, it was recorded that Israeli warplanes launched at least 3 missiles around er-Reşadiye in the city of Sur.
After more than 30 rockets were fired from Lebanon into Israel yesterday, the Israeli security cabinet decided to meet after two months. The Red Star of David emergency service reported that an Israeli who was hit by shrapnel was slightly injured and another person was injured as they fled towards the shelter.
The rockets fired at Israel caused panic.
UN WARNING: THE SITUATION IS VERY DANGEROUS
The United Nations Interim Peacekeeping Force (UNIFIL), which is located on the Lebanese-Israeli border, warned that the current situation in the border region is “very dangerous” and stated that both countries do not want war. In a written statement from UNIFIL, “The actions in the last 24 hours are dangerous and present a serious risk of tension. We call on all parties to cease all their actions along the Blue Line.

CONTINUING TENSION IN MESJID-I AKSA
The Israeli police’s intervention against Muslims at Masjid al-Aqsa with sound bombs, rubber-coated bullets and batons on two consecutive nights, using disproportionate force, escalated tension in occupied East Jerusalem and escalated into events.
This morning, the Israeli police intervened with batons at the Hutta Gate to the group that was going to the Al-Aqsa Mosque in the Old City of occupied East Jerusalem. After the intervention of the Israeli police, it was seen that there was a brawl.
