Hezbollah strikes Israeli military base, settlements in retaliatory operations
Fighters from the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement have carried out multiple operations against Israeli military positions and illegal settlements in the occupied territories in retaliation for the Tel Aviv regime’s ongoing offensives on Lebanon.
Hezbollah said in a brief statement on Monday that its members had fired barrages of rockets at the settlements of Ayelet HaShahar, Sha’al, Hatzor and Dalton.
The Lebanese resistance movement also announced that it had launched a rocket salvo at an Israeli air surveillance unit at the Meron military base in a separate operation.
Earlier, Hezbollah claimed responsibility for an attack on an Israeli air force base in the coastal city of Haifa for the first time.
The resistance fighters also struck a gathering of Israeli soldiers on the eastern outskirts of the southern Lebanese border town of Mays al-Jabal with rocket barrages.

Moreover, Hezbollah fighters used a swarm of bomb-laden unmanned aerial vehicles to hit the Israeli Elyakim military base, located south of Haifa. The aerial assault left casualties among Israeli forces and damage at the targeted site.
The base reportedly houses training camps under the Northern Command of the Israeli army.
Hezbollah members also fired a surface-to-air missile at an Israeli Hermes 900 drone as it was flying over the Iqlim al-Tuffah region in southern Lebanon, forcing the aircraft to leave Lebanese airspace.
Additional Hezbollah strikes hit gatherings of Israeli troops at the illegal Metula settlement on the northern side of the occupied territories.
According to Lebanese media reports, hundreds of Israeli troops have been killed since the regime launched its audacious “ground invasion” of southern Lebanon in early October.
The rising death toll of the invading forces has also been acknowledged by the Israeli media.
Meanwhile, according to Lebanon’s Ministry of Public Health, at least 2,986 people have been killed in Israeli attacks on the Arab country since October 2023, including 18 dead and 83 injured in the past 24 hours.
