Hizballah shoots unguided missiles into Israel.

Recently, Hezbollah has been obtaining and using fiber optic guided drones, similar to the types being used in Ukraine. The Beeb ran a report, in the last day or two, where their reporter was pointing out the fiber that littered the ground where Hezbollah has been shooting back at IDF troops occupying Lebanese territory. It could have been fake, but the report showed video, supposedly from a TV camera in a drone, as it flew into the back of a truck full of IDF soldiers.

Israeli policy regarding the West Bank, under his control, has been criminal, as is the action against internal Israeli protesters.

Maybe government policy is to look the other way, while settlers terrorize the Pals? I have seen plenty of reports of Israeli police and troops either ignoring what settlers were doing, or terrorizing the Pals themselves.

...and there is no plan for any settlements in those areas.

Maybe no publicly announced, fully formed, plan. That doesn't mean people aren't talking about it.

Israeli minister calls for annexation of southern Lebanon

JERUSALEM/BEIRUT, March 23 (Reuters) - Israel should extend its border with Lebanon up to the Litani ​River deep inside the country's south, Israel's finance minister said on Monday as Israeli troops bombed bridges and destroyed homes in an escalating military assault.

The comments by ‌Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich were the most explicit yet by a senior Israeli official on seizing Lebanese territory in a fight Israel says targets Iran-backed Hezbollah militants.

Some years ago, Israel annexed the Golan Heights, which were seized from Syria in 67. There are now some 30 Israeli settlements in the Golan. According to the net sifter, there are some 210 government recognized settlements in the west bank, an increase from 141 only 4 years ago. There are also some 350 unofficial outposts in the west bank. The trend has been for Israel to place civilians in every seized territory. There used to be several Israeli settlements in Gaza, until they were evacuated, so that Gaza could be a free fire zone.
