Archival: Hezbollah projectiles intercepted over northern Israel <\/p>\n

He said he had communicated with Hezbollah through intermediaries and that \u201cthey agreed to stop shooting at Israel, and its soldiers. Likewise, Israel agreed to stop shooting at them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Netanyahu responded publicly shortly after. \u201cI spoke with President Trump and told him that if Hezbollah does not stop attacking our cities and civilians, Israel will strike terror targets in Beirut,\u201d Netanyahu said, issuing an explicit threat against the Shiite terrorist group. \u201cThis remains our position. At the same time, the IDF will continue operating as planned in southern Lebanon.\u201d<\/p>\n
Defense Minister Israel Katz said last week that he and Netanyahu were advancing a policy meant to establish a new equation: \u201cThe rule for Dahieh in Beirut is the same as the rule for communities in northern Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIf Israeli communities continue to be attacked, we will turn and strike the Dahieh district in Beirut,\u201d Katz said, referring to the Hezbollah stronghold in the Lebanese capital\u2019s southern suburbs. \u201cThe test will be simple and will become clear in the coming days.\u201d<\/p>\n
The renewed fire again disrupted daily life in northern Israel. Students from the Lev HaEmek school in Kibbutz Neot Mordechai were on a trip Sunday morning when alerts warned of incoming rockets from Lebanon. The children were ordered off their bus and into a nearby roadside shelter.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are experienced. We don\u2019t panic,\u201d a teacher told the students inside the shelter. \u201cWe are in a protected place now. Everything is OK. Take a breath. I\u2019m also a little worried, but it\u2019s OK to be worried. We are here in a protected place.\u201d<\/p>\n
One student said from inside the shelter: \u201cWhen I was in Tel Aviv, there was some protest to stop bombing the north.\u201d<\/p>\n
The teacher replied: \u201cOK, we\u2019re breathing. Everything is OK. I told you, I am committed to bringing you back to your parents safe and sound.\u201d<\/p>\n
David Azulay, head of the Metula local council, criticized the government\u2019s handling of the situation. \u201cThey tell us about a ceasefire, but this morning, too, the children and parents of Metula went to school under nonstop fire,\u201d Azulay said. \u201cAfter a noisy night of explosions and planes overhead, we woke up this morning to a series of interceptions and sirens, along with a drone infiltration, just as children were supposed to leave for school.<\/p>\n
\u201cSomeone in the Israeli government apparently thinks this is normal and logical, that this is what a ceasefire looks like, that this is what routine life in the north is supposed to look like. The Israeli government must give the children and families of the north quiet and safe lives. This cannot continue.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The IDF said Sunday morning it intercepted two projectiles fired from Lebanon into northern Israel, the first such…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":481839,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[85,46,43],"class_list":["post-481838","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-israel","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/481838","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=481838"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/481838\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/481839"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=481838"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=481838"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=481838"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

The decision-making Security Cabinet convened last Thursday to approve the plan, but Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said no vote would be held for now<\/a> after Hezbollah refused to accept it. Several ministers voiced opposition to the plan, whose implementation terms were announced by the United States a day earlier after Israeli-Lebanese talks in Washington. <\/p>\n
