ALBAWABA- An Israeli drone strike targeted a vehicle on the road between Al-Bazouriya and Wadi Gilo in southern Lebanon, heightening regional tensions. In response, the Israeli army has decided to expand the reduction of factory operations in northern Israel to a 40-kilometer radius of the Lebanese border. 

Additionally, all combat units and training formations in the Israeli army have had their vacations canceled as the country goes on maximum alert. 

This heightened state of readiness is in anticipation of a potential broad Iranian response, with concerns that infrastructure, such as electricity and communications lines, may be targeted.

In a related incident, the Israeli army reported targeting a Palestinian vehicle carrying an armed cell near the city of Tulkarm in the West Bank. 

According to sources, the strike resulted in the deaths of five individuals, including Al-Qassam leader Haitham Balidi. Another incident in the West Bank's northern town of Zeta also led to multiple fatalities.

Additionally, two people were killed and three others injured due to an Israeli bombing in the Bureij camp in central Gaza City. 

More casualties were reported in the Sheikh Zayed area in the north of the Gaza Strip as Israeli forces targeted a group of individuals. 

Israel's ongoing barbaric aggressions in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, and Syria, including the assassination of a top Hamas political leader in Tehran and a senior Hezbollah commander in Lebanon, as well as recent airstrikes in Syria, continue to violate international law. 

These actions have exacerbated tensions throughout the region, further destabilizing an already volatile situation.
