A series of interceptions occurred overnight above the northern border town of Metula, accompanied by constant explosions, according to Channel 12 military correspondent Guy Varon. Metula council head David Azoulai sharply criticized the government, saying declarations of a ceasefire are disconnected from the reality of explosions and falling shrapnel. Footage shows interception fragments that fell inside residents' homes.
Overnight into Tuesday, a series of interceptions were conducted above Metula, near the Lebanese border, accompanied by constant explosion sounds, according to Channel 12 military correspondent Guy Varon. Metula council head David Azoulai said the government's ceasefire declarations are disconnected from the reality on the ground, adding that 'explosions and interception fragments — I remind everyone, this kills.' Footage circulating shows fragments that fell inside residents' homes.
This marks the latest in a pattern: as The Zioneer previously reported, Azoulai has repeatedly criticized the government over ongoing security incidents despite the declared ceasefire. On June 13, he accused the government of failing to defend border communities after 12 interceptions occurred while children ran to shelters. The overnight event follows interceptions reported Tuesday morning at 08:26 and several incidents last week involving drone infiltrations and rocket fire toward Metula.
No reports of casualties from the overnight interceptions have emerged. The IDF has not issued an official statement on the overnight events at this time.
