News - Middle East: Hezbollah says it struck the Galilee Division Reserve Base and its logistics depots at Ami’ad kibbutz in the northern sector of the Israeli-occupied territories with dozens of Katyusha rockets.

Hebrew-language sources also reported a large-scale Hezbollah drone attack from southern Lebanon on the Galilee region, during which the Nahal Gershom base was targeted.

The movement said Saturday the operation was in retaliation for Israeli attacks on civilians and residential buildings in Lebanon and in solidarity with Palestinians.

Hezbollah also stated it conducted a missile attack against an Israeli Merkava battle tank as it was moving along the Ruwaisat al-Alam-Zebdine road. The strike destroyed the tank and set it aflame.

On Friday, Hezbollah targeted the Israeli al-Marj and Bayyad Blida outposts in the northern part of the occupied territories and the Zebdine barracks in the occupied Shebaa Farms.

Hezbollah and Israel have been exchanging deadly fire since early October last year, shortly after the regime launched a genocidal war against the Gaza Strip following a surprise operation by Hamas.

On Friday, Israeli media acknowledged that Hezbollah’s drones pose the “greatest challenge” to the regime’s missile systems.

According to a report by Israeli Channel 13 television channel, Hezbollah’s kamikaze drones strike their designated targets accurately, as “the top-tier Israeli Iron Dome system and fighter aircraft fail to bring them down.”

The broadcaster said more than 1,000 drones have been launched from southern Lebanon towards the northern Israeli-occupied territories ever since the genocidal war on Gaza began in early October last year.

The report said Hezbollah’s military campaign in support of Palestine has forced the evacuation of tens of thousands of settlers from northern colonial outposts, while Israeli military sites face daily direct hits.

Many of the Lebanese group’s tactics, particularly its squadrons of combat drones, remain unanswered by Israel, it said.

Former commander of the Northern Command in the Israeli military, Yossi Peled, told the Israeli public broadcaster KAN that the unfolding developments in northern occupied territories represent a “remarkable strategic victory for Hezbollah.”
