Entire Israeli-occupied territories under Hezbollah rocket attack

28 Sep 2024 - 15:37

Hezbollah has launched barrage of rockets targeting the Israeli-occupied territories in the north in retaliation for the Israeli strikes against the Lebanese capital Beirut.


The Lebanese resistance movement said it fired a barrage of Fadi-3 missiles at the Ramat David base, one of the three main Israeli airfields, about 20 km southeast of Haifa on Saturday morning.

The operation, it said, came “in support of steadfast Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and their valiant and honorable resistance front, in defense of Lebanon and its nation, and in response to the barbaric Israeli violations against Lebanese cities, villages, and civilians.”

Israel's Ynet website said Hezbollah sent its reconnaissance drones over David Ramat, taking pictures of all the sensitive positions ranging from the residences of soldiers and officers to the routes of airplanes and even the military command office before targeting them.

Israeli website Walla, which specializes in security affairs, said the town of Metula has been completely destroyed with the ongoing escalation in the north and the expansion of Hezbollah's missile operations, adding what remains standing is a school.

The website cited a settler as saying that rockets raining down on the settlement had become a rule of the day, but what happened on Friday was phenomenal when the landing of heavy warhead Barkan rockets destroyed a large area.

The Israeli military has imposed a heavy news blackout on the war situation in the northern front, blocking any reports about casualties and damage.

Analysts say by concealing its losses in the north, Israel seeks to bolster the morale of the settlers and pretend that it is making military gains.

In another statement Saturday, Hezbollah said it hit the Kabri settlement in the Western Galilee region near of the Mediterranean town of Nahariya with Fadi-1 rockets.

Rocket warning sirens were activated in dozens of communities in the northern part of the occupied lands. Sirens were also sounded in parts of Haifa and across the Galilee.

Referring to the tense situation in the northern areas as a result of Hezbollah's operations, the Hebrew-language media said the entire northern front is under the fire of Lebanese missiles. They said Haifa officials are extremely angry with prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his cabinet over their war-mongering policies.

Israeli media outlets reported that Hezbollah launched some 75 rockets at occupied territories on Friday night.
