Hezbollah Intensifies Strikes on Northern Israeli Settlements, Downs Hermes 900 UAV
Hezbollah launched on Tuesday coordinated operations as it steadfastly defended Lebanese territory in line with newly elected Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem’s strategy of ‘hurting the enemy.’ The group’s Military Media declared rocket attacks and drone strikes on strategic locations in occupied territories and Israeli forces attempting to infiltrate the border. Additionally, Hezbollah fighters successfully downed an Israeli Hermes-900 UAV in Lebanese airspace, underscoring their commitment to countering the Israeli threat.
The impact of this escalation is evident, as Israel’s Yisrael Hayom reported today that nearly 900 Israeli occupation soldiers have been hospitalized since the onset of ground operations in Lebanon.
Hezbollah’s military media released a series of statements detailing the attacks and their outcomes:
The initial statement indicated that at 10:45 p.m. on Monday, October 28, 2024, Islamic Resistance fighters launched an aerial assault using a squadron of attack drones on a gathering of Israeli military vehicles in the Manara Israeli settlement, hitting their targets with precision.
The second statement declared that on Monday night, October 28, Hezbollah fighters conducted another aerial assault using a squadron of suicide drones, targeting a group of Israeli enemy soldiers at the Kfar Giladi crusher and striking their targets with precision.
Hezbollah’s third statement noted that on Monday morning, the group’s fighters precisely targeted a gathering of Israeli soldiers in the Zar’it settlement using an attack drone.
According to the fourth statement, at 10:00 AM on Tuesday, October 29, 2024, Islamic Resistance fighters launched a rocket salvo targeting the Dalton settlement.
Forty minutes later, at 10:40 AM on Tuesday, the Islamic Resistance fighters launched a rocket salvo at the Kfar Vradim settlement.
Simultaneously at 10:40 am, Hezbollah fighters targeted a gathering of Israeli enemy soldiers in the Ma’alot-Tarshiha Israeli occupation settlement with a rocket salvo.
The Galilee Hospital in Nahariyya reported that 13 Zionists were injured due to rocket strikes in the town of Ma’alot-Tarshiha in northern occupied territories.
The targeting of Ma’alot-Tarshiha follows Hezbollah’s announcement that occupied cities and settlements in northern areas will be directly attacked, urging settlers to evacuate the region.
