Rockets fired on Galilee Panhandle; IDF strikes targets in southern Lebanon

Meanwhile the leader of the Christian Lebanese Forces party said that while he has much criticism for Hezbollah, he will be on Lebanon's side in the event of an all out war.

The IDF also eliminated dozens of terrorists in Rafah and destroyed a number of booby-trapped buildings in the area.

The Air Force struck some 50 targets throughout the Gaza Strip, including booby-trapped structures, terrorist squads, and launch sites.

IDF soldier from Ness Ziona was killed earlier today in the neighbourhood of Shejaiya in Gaza. He was killed while fighting Hamas gunmen with another soldier injured in the same incident.

According to a Channel 14 poll, just 36% believe his policy of restraint towards Hezbollah is the right one.

Former Defense Minister and current Israel Beytenu party leader Avigdor Liberman said that "the main effort needs to be directed at defeating Iran."

Targets included the Qanatra, Rab al-Thalathine, Deir Seryan, and Tallouseh areas.

Elmaleh, 26, was murdered last February when cars got stuck in traffic outside a checkpoint near Jerusalem. 

The continued pressure of both the IDF and foreign countries is starting to get to Sinwar. 

The Israel Nature and Parks Authority stated that the north has suffered over twice the amount of fires it suffered last year due to the war.

Hezbollah has suffered serious casualties and most of its forces are north of the Litani River - but it still remains active and dangerous.

Increased funding and new training programs for Israel's Security Coordinators have been approved.
