Hezbollah hits Israeli military positions in occupied territories with combat drones

Fighters from the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah have conducted a series of operations, targeting various Israeli military positions in the northern part of the 1948 occupied territories with combat drones.

Hezbollah said in a statement that it struck the Mount Neria base, which currently serves as the headquarters of the Israeli military’s Golani Division, with a number of explosive-laden drones at around 7:00 p.m. local time (1600 GMT) on Monday.

The statement added that the aerial attack hit buildings housing Israeli soldiers and officers, leaving casualties in the targeted area.

Hezbollah stressed that the operation was conducted in retaliation for Israeli strikes on southern Lebanese regions, especially a deadly attack on Mays al-Jabal village.

Earlier, Hezbollah combat drones had struck the newly established headquarters of the Israeli army’s 91st Division in the Ayelet barracks, inflicting several casualties on soldiers stationed there.

Lebanese resistance fighters also shelled the Israeli Zebdine barracks in the occupied Lebanese Shebaa Farms with artillery rounds, hitting it directly. 

Moreover, Hezbollah targeted artillery bunkers at the Khirbet Ma'ar military base with salvos of rockets.

The group also pummeled several other Israeli sites, including the Ras al-Naqoura site, the Zarit barracks, the Ramim barracks, and Karantina Hill near the Hadab Yaron site.

Hezbollah attacks Israeli military headquarters with squadron of drones

Hezbollah says it has targeted an Israeli military headquarters in the northern occupied Palestinian territories with a squadron of suicide drones.

Sirens sounded in at least a dozen illegal Israeli settlements over an area of ​​about 180 square kilometers from Kfar Giladi kibbutz in the Galilee Panhandle region to Ayelet HaShahar kibbutz at northern sector of the 1948 occupied lands.

The area houses several strategic Israeli military installations, including the headquarters of the Sahel Battalion in the Beit Hillel barracks, the headquarters of the 769th Brigade in the Kiryat Shmona barracks, the Ramot Naftali barracks and the Yiftah barracks, where so-called Iron Dome missile systems are deployed.

Hezbollah member killed in Israeli airstrike in south Lebanon

Meanwhile, a Hezbollah resistance fighter was killed and another wounded on Monday afternoon in an Israeli airstrike targeting a motorcycle in the village of Ebba in southern Lebanon.

Lebanese military sources, who requested anonymity, said that an Israeli drone fired two air-to-ground missiles at the motorcycle, killing the driver identified as Ali Jawad Badreddine and wounding his companion.

According to the sources, Israeli drones and warplanes conducted seven airstrikes on four villages and towns in southern Lebanon, while Israeli artillery units fired 20 shells on four villages and towns in southern Lebanon.

Hezbollah and Israel have been exchanging deadly fire since early October last year, shortly after the regime launched a genocidal war against the Gaza Strip following a surprise operation by the Palestinian Hamas resistance group.

Israel killing resistance commanders to cover up its defeat in Gaza: Iran parliament speaker

Iran’s parliament speaker says Israel’s killing of the resistance front’s commanders aims to cover up its defeat and crimes in the Gaza Strip.

The Lebanese resistance movement has vowed to keep up its retaliatory attacks as long as the Israeli regime continues its Gaza war, which has so far killed at least 39,623 Palestinians, mostly women and children, in Gaza.

Hezbollah officials have repeatedly said they do not want a war with Israel while stressing that they are prepared in case it occurs.

Two Israeli wars waged against Lebanon in 2000 and 2006 were met with strong resistance from Hezbollah, resulting in the retreat of the regime in both conflicts.
