Despite the prevailing impressions among most official, diplomatic, internal and external security entities that the confrontations on the southern border front with Israel could expand into a full-scale war, fears have grown that the reality on this front, which has effectively turned into a front of attrition, will be prolonged indefinitely.
On Saturday morning, the Israeli army announced that an Israeli Navy missile ship intercepted a drone that entered Israeli economic waters from Lebanese territory.
Meanwhile, the Israeli army spokesperson, Avichay Adraee, wrote in a post on his “X” account: “A Navy missile ship intercepted a drone in the economic waters of Israel”.

Additionally, sirens sounded this morning in Kiryat Shmona and its surroundings in the Galilee Panhandle in northern Israel. Channel 12 of Israel reported the detection of four rockets fired from Lebanon towards Kiryat Shmona without any reported injuries, and another rocket fired from Lebanon towards Arab al-Aramshe in western Galilee, also without any injuries.
On the Lebanese side, the outskirts of the town of Al-Jabin, in the western sector, were being subjected to Israeli artillery shelling.
For its part, Hezbollah claimed two attacks. At 07:58, it targeted espionage equipment at the Meskafaim site “with appropriate weapons and direct hit.” At 08:25, Hezbollah targeted the Jurdah point with rocket weapons.
