Hezbollah strikes Israeli naval base
TEHRAN - Hezbollah has further widened its offensive operations in defense of Lebanon against the Israeli regime’s airstrikes and in solidarity with Gaza.
The resistance movement has announced that its fighters have targeted the Stella Maris naval base - a strategic Israeli base for naval monitoring and control on the northern coast - northwest of Haifa with missiles.
Hezbollah also revealed on Friday that its fighters targeted the Israeli Ramat David base and airport southeast of Haifa “with a qualitative missile barrage.”
Among the other operations on Friday Lebanese guerrilla fighters unleashed attacks on Israeli forces in Jal Al-Hammar, south of the town of Odaisseh, with artillery shells.
Hezbollah confirmed the enemy forces suffered casualties.
Hezbollah strikes key Israeli military installations in and around HaifaA spokesperson for the Israeli army announced that a soldier in the 8207 Battalion, Alon Brigade (228), was killed due to the wounds he sustained during the combat in southern Lebanon.
Citing a military spokesperson, Israeli media has also shed light on a battle in which six Israeli soldiers were killed and others sustained injuries on October 26.
“The battle took place in the border village of Aitaroun. The Israeli force encountered three Hezbollah fighters inside a house. There were several hours of fighting, gunfire, and grenade throwing. A fire broke out in the building, which partially collapsed, and a battle continued throughout the night to extract the killed and wounded Israeli forces from the site of the clash,” Hebrew media outlets reported.
Elsewhere, Hezbollah said its fighters targeted the Kiryat Shmona settlement with a missile salvo on Friday morning.
A mobilization of Israeli forces in the Margaliot settlement also faced a missile barrage.
Meanwhile, missile sirens continued to ring in multiple settlements in northwestern Israel for 45 minutes on Friday and across Israeli cities.
On Thursday, Hezbollah also carried out 21 operations, which included targeting ten gatherings and movements of Israeli soldiers and vehicles at settlements across the border and forces attempting to infiltrate the border. They used rockets and artillery shells, causing injuries and deaths.
The Lebanese resistance fighters ambushed an Israeli infantry force that tried to advance towards the town of Yaroun, killing and wounding its members.
The formidable resistance movement launched eight rocket and missile barrages at different cities, sites, settlements, and Israeli positions both behind and across the border, at varying distances.
It also carried out two "Khaybar" special operations with the call “At your service, Nasrallah”, targeting critical Israeli sites, including bases in Haifa.
Experts believe the more Tel Aviv continues to bombard Lebanon’s residential areas the greater the risk alarms for Haifa, the industrial hub of Israel.
Hezbollah has already displaced settlers in Kiryat Shmona, a district in occupied Palestine on the western slopes of the Hula Valley near the Lebanese border.
