Hezbollah maintains its ‘Fire for Fire’ approach, launching a ballistic missile assault targeting Tel Aviv
The Lebanese resistance group Hezbollah continues to implement its "Fire for Fire, Beirut for Tel Aviv" defensive strategy, responding to the Israeli regime's escalated and lethal actions against Lebanon.
On Monday, the movement launched a series of strikes on Tel Aviv, located within the occupied Palestinian territories, as a demonstration of its refusal to succumb to the regime’s intensified assaults on civilians in Lebanon. This action aims to pressure the resistance into compliance with the regime’s demands, according to reports from various resistance media outlets.
The city came under heavy fire as it was targeted by a barrage of ballistic missiles, at least eight rockets, and drone strikes. The assault resulted in injuries to at least five settlers, with one individual reported to be in serious condition.

In a recent operation, Hezbollah announced that its operatives launched a series of missile attacks and deployed a squadron of drones targeting the Tel Haim base, a facility associated with the Israeli Military Intelligence Division located in Tel Aviv.
The movement reported that the projectiles and the aircraft successfully struck their intended targets with precision.
The group extended its offensive actions to the Krayot region, located to the north of Haifa, by launching a volley of rockets. Additionally, they executed an aerial assault utilizing a fleet of attack drones targeting the Regavim base, a military installation that serves as a training ground for the Israeli military’s Golani Brigade, situated southeast of Haifa.
The Khaybar series of operations, initiated by the movement, unfolded under the banner “We are at Your Service O Nasrallah.” This slogan pays homage to Hezbollah’s former Secretary-General, who met his fate amid heavy Israeli airstrikes targeting Lebanon’s capital, Beirut, in late September.
The group stated that the retaliatory measures were intended to demonstrate “support for our steadfast Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and their courageous and honorable resistance,” as well as to defend Lebanon against the regime’s deadly escalation.
Since October of last year, Hezbollah has been executing numerous operations targeting the northern regions of the occupied territories. This escalation followed the onset of what has been described as a genocidal conflict initiated by the regime against Gaza, alongside heightened aggressive actions towards Lebanon.
According to reports, the intense military offensive and continuing hostilities have resulted in the deaths of over 43,900 Palestinians, with the majority being women and children, as well as more than 3,510 Lebanese individuals.
On Monday, Hezbollah fighters launched two separate rocket attacks on the Shraga base, which serves as the administrative headquarters for the Golani Brigade Command, situated north of the city of Akka.

The leader of the Margaliot Council in the northern occupied territories has characterized the region as “dangerous,” citing the prolonged absence of illegal Israeli settlers. According to the official, these settlers, who vacated the area and other northern regions following Hezbollah’s retaliation, have been unable to return to their settlements for over a year.
Simultaneously, the movement unveiled another video depicting its attack on the Stella Maris Base and the headquarters of the regime’s elite Shayetet 13 Naval Commando Unit, employing Fajr-3 rockets and advanced attack drones earlier this month.

Ori Misghif, a correspondent for the Ha’aretz newspaper, provided an account of attending the funeral of Israeli Warrant Officer Guy Idan. Idan, who served with the Israeli military’s Battalion 89 of the 8th Armored Division, was killed during operations in Lebanon, as part of efforts to further Tel Aviv’s military objectives in the region.
He condemned the regime for perpetuating its aggressive actions against Gaza and Lebanon, criticizing its actions as coming at the expense of Israeli forces’ lives. Furthermore, he accused the regime of failing to accord the necessary respect and care to the troops, regardless of whether they are alive or deceased.
A notable absence at the burial ceremony was that of a representative from the Israeli government, which was referred to as the “government of blood and destruction.” This comment came in light of recent events in Lebanon, where ten reserve soldiers lost their lives within a 24-hour period, according to statements made by Misghif.
