[IsraelTimes] Lebanese terror group claims to have targeted IDF base, kilometers away from apartment building that sustained direct impact; 2 soldiers lightly hurt in separate attack
Leb
 ...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
’s Hezbollah on Monday launched explosive-laden drones at northern Israel, one of which impacted a high-rise residential building in the coastal city of Nahariya, causing damage, authorities said.
The Israel Defense Forces said two drones were launched in the attack, which was later claimed by the terror group.
There were no injuries in the attack, though the drone that hit the building caused damage to two apartments.
In a statement, the terror group took responsibility for the drones but claimed to have targeted a military base, the IDF’s Shraga Camp, some three kilometers (1.8 miles) south of Nahariya.
Hezbollah said the attack was a response to recent IDF strikes in southern Lebanon.
IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi called the attack "a serious incident."
Wrapping up an assessment on the northern front with the military’s top brass, Halevi said the "IDF operates strongly in the north, and is at a high level of readiness with prepared operational plans, ready for any mission that will be required."
In another attack on the Western Galilee on Monday, three explosive-laden drones launched from Lebanon struck near the border community of Shlomi, lightly injuring two soldiers, the IDF said.
Hezbollah took responsibility for the attack, saying it targeted a military base in the area.
The IDF said the soldiers were taken to a hospital in good condition.
In addition to the drones, Hezbollah also fired more than 20 rockets from Lebanon at northern Israel on Monday, according to the IDF. The rockets targeted the Western Galilee, the Kiryat Shmona area, and the Galilee Panhandle. There were no reports of injuries.
The terror group also claimed to have launched a surface-to-air missile at an Israeli fighter jet over southern Lebanon on Monday, forcing it to retreat.
Meanwhile,
...back at the Council of Boskone, Helmuth had turned a paler shade of blue. Star-A-Star had struck again...
on Monday, the IDF said fighter jets struck several buildings and observation posts belonging to Hezbollah in southern Lebanon’s Kafr Kila.
Another dronezap targeted a Hezbollah operative in Tallouseh, the military said.
Separately, Israeli tanks shelled a Hezbollah observation post in Kafr Shouba, the IDF added.
Overnight, Israeli fighter jets struck several sites and a rocket launcher belonging to Hezbollah in southern Lebanon’s Kafr Kila, Taybeh, Hanine, and Yarine, the IDF said earlier Monday.
A separate strike on Sunday night in Khirbet Selm targeted a building used by Hezbollah, the military added.
Amid the ongoing exchanges of fire between Israel and Hezbollah, US CENTCOM chief Gen. Michael Kurilla, who was again visiting Israel, met with IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi and other generals on Sunday, the Israeli military said. The IDF said the visit "focuses on current threats, with an emphasis on threats from Lebanon and Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
in the northern arena."
After an assessment with Halevi, Kurilla met with Northern Command chief Maj. Gen. Ori Gordin at the command’s underground war room, where the military said he was "presented with the IDF’s operational plans for Lebanon."
At least the Op Plans they're willing to share with the US. Not necessarily the real ones
"The IDF will continue to deepen its relationship with the US Armed Forces, due to our commitment to strengthening regional stability and the coordination between the militaries," the IDF added.
On Sunday, Kurilla met with Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. Gallant on X said that they had discussed "the operational and strategic situation in the region" and "reflected on ways to further strengthen interoperability to achieve our common objectives."
Since October 8, Hezbollah-led forces have attacked Israeli communities and military posts along the border on a near-daily basis. So far, the skirmishes have resulted in 26 civilian deaths on the Israeli side, as well as the deaths of 20 IDF soldiers and reservists. There have also been several attacks from Syria, without any injuries.
Hezbollah has named 433 members who have been killed by Israel during the ongoing skirmishes, mostly in Lebanon but some also in Syria. Another 78 operatives from other terror groups, a Lebanese soldier, and dozens of civilians have also been killed.
