News - Middle East: Hezbollah fighters have launched a retaliatory drone strike against an Israeli artillery position in the northern flank of the occupied territories in response to the ongoing onslaught against Gaza.

Hezbollah announced in a statement on Thursday that the group struck the newly installed headquarters of the Artillery Battalion Command of the Israeli military’s 146th Division in the Western Galilee region, with a squadron of kamikaze drones.

The statement highlighted that the aerial attack targeted command posts, the positions of the fire control crew as well and artillery positions, stressing that the targets were precisely hit. The drone strike also inflicted casualties on Israeli soldiers.

Hezbollah fighters also targeted a gathering of Israeli soldiers in the vicinity of Hanita outpost with a barrage of rockets, achieving a direct hit.

The resistance group said in a separate statement that it had shelled the newly developed technical equipment at the Israeli al-Malikiyah and Hadab Yarin military sites, hitting the designated targets accurately.

Furthermore, Hezbollah launched a missile from southern Lebanon at the Israeli Hadab al-Bustan outpost, destroying the designated targets.
