The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon carries out dozens of operations targeting the Israeli occupation forces all throughout occupied Palestine, reaching a base 170km away from

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah launched a series of intensified military operations targeting Israeli settlements, military sites, and strategic installations on Sunday, achieving precise hits in multiple locations, with the strikes including the use of advanced attack drones and complex combined assaults.

Hezbollah underlined that the operations were in support of the steadfast Palestinian people in Gaza, and in solidarity with their noble and courageous resistance, as well as in defense of Lebanon and its people

Aerial and precision strikes

For the first time, the Resistance deployed a squadron of loitering drones to target the Asdod Naval Base, located 150 kilometers from the Lebanese-Palestinian border. The operation achieved pinpoint accuracy, striking its intended targets.

Similarly, drones struck a newly established Israeli military command room in the Metula settlement, hitting their targets with precision. A complex operation minutes earlier targeted a military site in Tel Aviv with a combination of precision-guided rockets, and drones.

Strikes on settlements, military bases

The campaign extended to settlements near the northern border area, with dozens of rocket barrages striking key locations:

Kfar Blum was targeted twice—once at noon and another less than two hours later. The settlements of Maalot-Tarshiha, Hatzor HaGlilit, Kiryat Shmona, and Amir also sustained rocket strikes, with Kiryat Shmona hit twice during the morning.

The settlement of Dishon, a known artillery site, was also hit, with the settlements of Kerem Ben Zimra, Safad, Sa'sa', Meron, and Yesod HaMa’ala being hit in coordinated operations throughout the day.

Strategic military sites

The Islamic Resistance also hit several critical Israeli military installations:

Hezbollah attacked the Biriya Base, the primary northern air defense and missile command center, as well as Glilot Base, the headquarters of Unit 8200 near Tel Aviv.

Dado Base, the northern region command headquarters, and Mishar Base, the main intelligence hub for the northern region, were hit with rocket barrages, with the Zevulun Military Industries Base, north of Haifa, also sustaining numerous hits.

Moreover, the Resistance carried out a defensive operation in the western Bekaa Valley, wherein its fighters intercepted and forced an Israeli Hermes 450 drone to retreat using an advanced surface-to-air missile.

The Resistance demonstrated its ability to target strategic sites deep within Israeli territory. On Friday, the Palmachim Base, a key Israeli Air Force installation south of Tel Aviv, was struck with precision-guided rockets. The base houses unmanned aerial vehicles, military helicopters, and advanced missile defense systems.

Multiple operations in Khiam

The Resistance repeatedly targeted Israeli military gatherings east of Khiam, launching five separate attacks throughout the day. The strikes at 8:45 AM, 1:30 PM, 1:45 PM, 3:20 PM, 7:15 PM, and 11:45 PM inflicted significant damage on enemy forces.

The Resistance has combined advanced drone technology, precision-guided rockets, and coordinated strikes, marking a significant escalation against the Israeli occupation, not only in quantity but the quality of operations, as well as the scope of operations as Hezbollah struck deep within occupied Palestine several times. The unprecedented aerial operations and deep strikes reflect a clear warning that all Israeli positions, whether near or far, remain within the Resistance’s reach.
