On 4 July, the calm night sky in northern Israel was shattered by the sudden sound of sirens, which sounded 17 times in just 90 minutes from Nahariya to the Golan Heights.
The alarms were not unfounded, as a full 200 rockets were fired from the Lebanese direction, and Israel's Iron Dome air defense systems were busy trying their best to respond to the stormy attack.
A spokesman for the Israeli Ministry of Defense pointed out that although "several" rockets were intercepted, it was implied that the actual number of interceptions was less than 20, which once again called into question the interception effectiveness of the Iron Dome system.
Although the Iron Dome system successfully intercepted a part of the rockets, it could not completely stop the destruction of the attack.
Fragments of unintercepted rockets fell to the ground, causing fires in many places, and emergency services were busy extinguishing the fires.
The Lebanese side was quick to respond to the attack.
In the statement, they claimed that the rocket attack had achieved its intended goal, but did not explicitly mention casualties.
This restraint seems to indicate that the main target of the attack was Israeli facilities, not personnel.
The night's horror has left the inhabitants of northern Israel in fear.
The motive behind the attack in Lebanon on 5 July emerged as a response to Israel's previous actions that resulted in the deaths of its commanders.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has not flinched on this, but has stepped up his tough stance on Lebanon, vowing to continue military action.
Netanyahu's hardline attitude has sparked concern and discussion among all parties.
Surprisingly, behind the tough posture, Netanyahu has launched a series of peace actions.
He sent a "peace mission" to try to negotiate a ceasefire with Hamas through the coordination of the United States and Egypt.
Regarding Netanyahu's peace strategy, netizens generally believe that this is just his delaying tactic.
Many believe that Israel wants to focus its efforts on the Lebanese threat from the north by temporarily ceasefire with Hamas.
This view has also been shared by many analysts.
They argue that the dual pressures facing Israel have forced Netanyahu to adopt a flexible strategy to find a balance between the north and the south.
In the south, the standoff between Israel and Hamas has been going on for years, with deep hatred and hostility on both sides.
At this moment, Netanyahu has chosen to negotiate with Hamas and seek a temporary ceasefire.
