Hezbollah targets Tel Nof airbase near Tel Aviv
TEHRAN- Hezbollah continues to inflict heavy losses on the Israeli military almost one month after Tel Aviv attempted to invade Lebanon.
The Lebanese resistance repelled more ground offensive attempts on Saturday along the Lebanese border and targeted military sites, bases, troop gatherings, and settlements in northern Israel as well as regions deeper inside Israel.
For the first time, Hezbollah launched an aerial attack with a swarm of assault drones on the Tel Nof airbase, south of Tel Aviv, as part of its “Khaybar” operations.
According to a statement, the explosive drones deployed by Hezbollah against the Tel Nof airbase struck their targets “with precision” on Saturday morning.
The Tel Nof airbase was also subject to an attack by Iran on October 1 as part of a broader ballistic missile retaliatory operation against Israeli military bases.
In another major development, Hezbollah launched a missile salvo targeting the “Mishar base, the main intelligence headquarters for the northern region in Safed.”
Two additional missile salvos targeted Krayot north of the city of Haifa on Saturday afternoon, following an earlier strike on the Kiryat Shmona settlement near the Lebanese border.
Israeli media: Hezbollah fired nearly 100 rockets into the north by Saturday afternoon Hezbollah fighters also “targeted a gathering of Israeli enemy forces in the area of al-Musharifa in Ras Al-Naqoura with a rocket barrage.”
In other operations, the Lebanese resistance shelled Israeli forces with missile barrages at deserted settlements in northern Israel while targeting two gatherings of Israeli occupation forces.
The first was in Rosh HaNikra and the second in the Shlomi settlement, both with missile salvos.
Also, inside Israeli territory, Hebrew media reported the launch of rockets from Lebanon towards the Western Galilee. Israeli Channel 12 reported on the sound of an explosion following sirens in Western Galilee amid fears of a drone infiltration.
Furthermore, firefighting teams are working to extinguish fires in at least four different areas that were caused by rockets reported to have been fired from Lebanon.
Footage showed Israeli emergency services struggling to put out a large fire in the Yesod HaMa’ala settlement due to rocket impacts believed to be from Lebanon.
Additionally, sirens sounded in around ten Israeli regions over concerns about drone infiltrations.
Since Israel widely escalated its aggression against Lebanon some two months ago with the aim of returning displaced settlers to the north, it has failed to achieve its mission so far.
On the other hand, Hezbollah has expanded its missile strikes on settlements in northern Israel and heavily targeting cities in Israel, including the industrial hub of Haifa.
On Saturday, Israel was again accused of bombing Lebanon indiscriminately under the false pretext of targeting Hezbollah weapons.
A video emerged on Saturday showing part of the destruction caused by Israeli raids on a neighborhood in the southern suburb of Beirut.
This is despite the fact that Hezbollah removed all of its weaponry from the southern suburb of Beirut following the 2006 Israeli war on Lebanon.
The measure was taken following an order by martyr Hezbollah Secretary-General Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah.
