150 rockets have been launched from Lebanon against civilian and military settlements in northern Israel in the last 36 hours. And at least 20 Hezbollah civilian and military settlements were hit by Israel between September 11 and 12 with 37 air raids and at least 10 between artillery and bombings. And the day of September 12 began in the same way. Israeli air strikes in southern Lebanon are actually increasing to destroy Hezbollah infrastructure in view of the ground operation against the Axis of Resistance in northern Israel, southern Lebanon.

The US State Department: “They have promised Egypt $1.3 billion in foreign military funding to deal with what will be a very difficult containment situation.
And again the United States, according to the official Israeli Radio, is withdrawing two American aircraft carriers from the Middle East: “They have been ordered to leave the region.” Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has ordered the USS Theodore Roosevelt and the USS Russell to return to the United States, both of which were sent to the Middle East a few weeks ago out of fears of an imminent Iranian retaliation against Israel.
According to Channel 12: “US envoy to Lebanon delivers US message to Israel to refrain from large-scale military action in Lebanon.” US envoy Amos Hochstein will make another visit to Israel, reiterating to the Israeli political leadership not to escalate tensions in the north and to refrain from invading Lebanon. “Everyone in the US and Israel realizes that a war with Hezbollah could lead to a multi-front war,” Channel 12, a center-left, anti-Likud channel, said. The channel also said, “Hochstein will make an extra effort to reach an agreement in the north, and the problem is that such an agreement is also tied to a ceasefire in Gaza.”
Turkish-backed Syria TV says Israel carried out a special forces insertion near the city of Maysaf on September 9, kidnapping “2-4 Iranian officers along with equipment and documents.” There is no confirmation of the veracity of these facts so far: neither Israel nor Iran have confirmed the existence of the operation. Palestinian channels say that if this had not happened, Benjamin Netanyahu would have bragged to the Likud about something he did not do.
Karim Ahmad Khan, the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, has urgently requested arrest warrants from The Hague against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.

The important task remains in the north: to restore security and allow residents to return to their homes.” “The army is completing preparations for all branches of the armed forces for a possible ground operation in Lebanon,” The Jerusalem Post finally reports.
According to al-Akhbar, an imminent Israeli attack on Hezbollah will take place in December following the Israeli Defense Minister’s statement on the shift of the “center of gravity to the north.”
Bloomberg Agency: “Israel needs more soldiers as reserve soldiers are tired of the ongoing war.” Former Israeli Army General Yair Golan: “The North is collapsing, there is no security, no rehabilitation, only total negligence by the Israeli government.”
The Jewish Kan Channel reports on a scandal in the Knesset: “Scandalous photos and messages from a Likud member of the Knesset were published and sent to the email addresses of numerous representatives of other parties.” And again, Kan: “The Israeli Government Information Office decides to withdraw press passes from Al Jazeera correspondents.”
