Hezbollah announced, in a series of successive military statements, that it had carried out operations targeting the bases, sites and deployment of the Israeli army in northern occupied Palestine, “in defense of Lebanon and its people” and in response to the continuing air attacks.
The data stated that at 23:45 on Saturday evening, the Ein Shemer base, a missile air defense base located 75 kilometers from the Lebanese-Palestinian border east of Hadera, was targeted by a barrage of advanced missiles. At the same time, the Raghvim base, which includes training camps for the Golani Brigade southeast of Haifa, was subjected to a similar bombing.
In a later development, the resistance announced at dawn on Sunday that it had targeted the Berea base, which is the main air and missile defense base of the Northern Command, north of Safed, with a swarm of attack drones at 02:00, coinciding with the targeting of the Mahfat Alon base, southwest of Safed, with a missile barrage at 02:25.
The operations also targeted the Al-Malikiyah site, where it was announced that gatherings of Israeli soldiers and vehicles were bombed three times in a row between 02:00 and 02:45 with a barrage of missiles, in addition to targeting an armored force in Deir Saryan while it was trying to withdraw a vehicle damaged by artillery shells.
In a separate statement, the resistance explained that it targeted an Israeli helicopter in the airspace of the town of Al-Adisa with an air defense missile at 23:40, confirming that it was forced to retreat. The Metula settlement was also targeted at 05:00 on Sunday morning, in the context of a warning previously issued to a number of settlements in the north.
These operations come within the framework of a broad field escalation, after Hezbollah announced yesterday the issuance of 35 military statements regarding confrontation operations, movements and targeting of sites, bases, and the deployment of the Israeli army and its settlements.
These operations included fire ambushes in Baidar al-Faqaani in the town of Taybeh, targeting Merkava tanks in Qantara and al-Bayyada, and bombing military bases, including the Mishar base, Dadu base, and Yara barracks, in addition to targeting an artillery position, radar sites, and surveillance facilities, in addition to targeting the settlements of al-Malikiyah, Avivim, Shalomi, and Nahariya.
The operations also witnessed direct clashes on the western outskirts of the town of Shama, targeting military vehicles of the Hummer type and the Namera troop carrier, in addition to carrying out strikes with attacking drones on gatherings and evacuation forces.
This escalation comes in light of the continued Israeli raids on areas of southern Lebanon, accompanied by the targeting of border towns and residential homes, amid an intense exchange of fire across the northern front.
The resistance confirms in its statements that its operations target military sites and field deployments, in response to what it describes as attacks on Lebanese territory, while the circle of confrontation expands to include a greater depth inside the north, which reflects a shift in the pattern of operations and an expansion of the scope of engagement.
The sequence of operations during the past hours indicates a phase of gradual and simultaneous escalation, whether using long-range missiles or drones, while the southern front remains open to additional escalation possibilities during the coming hours and days.
