IDF forces in the area of Har Dov on the Israel-Lebanon border exchanged fire with Hezbollah terrorists on Monday. The terrorist cell was eliminated.

An IDF spokesman said, “We managed to disrupt an attack by a terrorist cell of the size of three or four terrorists who crossed a few meters into the sovereign territory.”

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, on his way to IDF headquarters in Tel Aviv, said, “We are in a security incident that is not a simple one.”

According to early reports, the terrorist cell attempted an ambush, firing a missile at an Israeli Merkava tank. However, the cell was intercepted quickly before it could carry out its mission.

No Israeli casualties were reported. Residents said they heard heavy exchanges of fire on the border area.

The incident started around 3:00 p.m. local time and the Army ordered all residents of the Upper Galilee region to remain indoors until further notice. “All activities in the open space are prohibited, including agricultural work, resorts and tourism,” the IDF said.

However, minutes before 5:00 p.m., the IDF announced that all restrictions on movement were lifted and the roads were reopened.

The Iran-backed Hezbollah terrorist group threatened last week they would carry out a revenge attack after a Hezbollah fighter was killed in Syria in an airstrike attributed by foreign sources to Israel.

On Monday, the Israeli news site Walla reported that Hezbollah had called off an attack at the last minute after the IDF sent reinforcements to the northern border. The IDF noted at the time that the threat had not disappeared.

Over the weekend, Israel sent a message via the UN to the Lebanese government, warning that any action from Lebanese soil against Israel would be considered a severe border violation and Israel would retaliate in kind.

Earlier Monday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Hezbollah and its Iranian sponsors against attacking Israel.

“We are constantly monitoring what is happening on our northern border. When I say ‘we’, that means myself, the Defense Minister, the Chief-of-Staff – all of us together,” Netanyahu said.

“Our policy is clear. First, we will not allow Iran to entrench militarily on our border with Syria. This is the policy that I set years ago; we uphold it consistently.

“Second, Lebanon and Hezbollah will bear the responsibility for any attack against us emanating from Lebanese territory. Third, the IDF is prepared for any scenario. We are active in all arenas for the security of Israel – both close to our borders and far from them.”

一个真主党恐怖组织企图从黎巴嫩渗透到以色列境内，并在哈尔多夫地区与以色列国防军交战。

以色列国防军星期一在以黎边境的哈尔多夫地区与真主党恐怖分子交火。恐怖组织被消灭了。

以色列国防军的一名发言人说，“我们设法破坏了一个三四个恐怖分子规模的恐怖分子的袭击，他们越过几米进入了主权领土。”

总理本杰明·内塔尼亚胡在前往以色列国防军特拉维夫总部的路上说，“我们正处于一场不简单的安全事件中。”

根据早期的报道，恐怖组织企图伏击，向以色列的一辆梅卡瓦坦克发射了一枚导弹。然而，该小组在执行任务前很快被拦截。

卡罗琳·格利克：以色列的稳定战略加强了恐怖分子没有以色列人员伤亡的报告。当地居民说，他们听到边境地区交火激烈。

事件发生在当地时间下午 3 点左右，军方命令上加利利地区的所有居民待在室内，等待进一步通知。以色列国防军说：“禁止在空地上进行一切活动，包括农业劳动、旅游胜地和旅游业。”。

然而，在下午 5 点前几分钟，以色列国防军宣布解除所有行动限制，重新开放道路。

伊朗支持的真主党恐怖组织上周威胁说，在一名真主党战士在叙利亚被外国消息来源归咎于以色列的空袭中丧生后，他们将进行报复性袭击。

星期一，以色列新闻网站 Walla 报道说，以色列国防军向北部边境派遣增援部队后，真主党在最后一分钟取消了一次袭击。以色列国防军当时指出，威胁并没有消失。

上周末，以色列通过联合国向黎巴嫩政府发出信息，警告说，黎巴嫩领土上对以色列采取的任何行动都将被视为严重违反边界的行为，以色列将以实物报复。

星期一早些时候，以色列总理内塔尼亚胡警告真主党及其伊朗支持者不要攻击以色列。

“我们一直在监视我们北部边境发生的事情。内塔尼亚胡说：“当我说‘我们’时，这意味着我自己、国防部长、参谋长 – 我们所有人都在一起。”。

“我们的政策是明确的。首先，我们不会允许伊朗在我们与叙利亚的边界上进行军事防御。这是我多年前制定的政策。

“第二，黎巴嫩和真主党将对从黎巴嫩领土对我们发动的任何攻击承担责任。

第三，以色列国防军对任何情况都做好了准备。为了以色列的安全，我们在所有领域都很活跃，无论是靠近我们的边界还是远离边界。”
