In a recent development, Hezbollah, a political and militant group in Lebanon, carried out an air attack on an Israeli base located southwest of Safed city in northern Israel. The attack was executed using successive waves of suicide drones, resulting in injuries among the Israeli forces stationed at the base. According to a statement released by Hezbollah, the base, known as Michve Allon, is a strategic location for the Israeli Northern Corps, housing both personnel and emergency warehouses.
The strike was carried out as a response to the assassination of a Hamas official, Samer al-Hajj, in a raid by Israeli drones in the southern Lebanese city of Sidon on Friday. This attack, according to Xinhua news agency, was carried out at the eastern entrance of the city. In the aftermath of the attack, Israeli drones and warplanes were reported to have carried out 10 airstrikes on six villages and towns in the border area of southern Lebanon, injuring three civilians and destroying 18 homes, according to Lebanese military sources who spoke anonymously to the news agency.
Following these events, a sense of anticipation and caution has gripped Lebanon, especially after a previous attack by Israel on Dahieh in Beirut's southern suburbs, which resulted in the death of a senior military commander of Hezbollah, Fouad Shokor. Hezbollah's Secretary-General, Hassan Nasrallah, has openly threatened retaliation for these attacks.
In a statement, Hezbollah has clarified that their recent strike on the Israeli base was specifically aimed at targeting the officers and soldiers stationed there, and it has resulted in confirmed injuries. The attack was a direct response to the aggression shown by Israel against the Palestinian movement, Hamas, and their officials. This is not the first time that Hezbollah has taken such measures to defend their cause and retaliate against Israeli aggression. Despite the tense situation, the group remains steadfast in their stance and is prepared to defend their land and people.
