Two suicide drones launched from 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...
struck Monday an area near Beit Hillel in northern Israel, Israeli media said.
Hezbollah grabbed credit for the attack and said it has carried out an aerial attack with "a swarm of suicide drones" targeting tents and "sleeping quarters" for an Israeli artillery battalion in a newly created post in Beit Hillel.
The Israeli army said the attack caused no casualties.
Hezbollah later targeted a Merkava tank in the Yiftah barracks, wounding four soldiers.
Hezbollah fighters fired "a guided missile" at an Israeli Merkava tank across the border on Monday morning, destroying it "after closely monitoring the enemy's movements," the group said in a statement.
The Israeli army said "two anti-tank missiles" crossed from Lebanon into the area of Yiftah, less than two kilometers from the border.
The missiles maimed four Israeli soldiers, the army said, one of them moderately and the rest lightly and all were taken to hospital.
Israel and Hamas
..the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,...ally Hezbollah have exchanged near-daily cross-border fire following the Paleostinian group's October 7 attack on southern Israel that sparked war in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about
oppressionand
disproportionate response...
.
Hezbollah has since attacked Israel many times with explosive-laden drones.
Hezbollah also targeted Monday a post in the occupied Kfarshouba Hills and groups of soldiers in Berkat Risha, the Biranit barracks, and the al-Jerdah post.
Senior Hezbollah official Sheikh Nabil Qaouq said Monday that Hezbollah's drones can reach beyond Akka and Haifa in northern Israel.
"The resistance has proven that it is up to the challenge and has succeeded in breaking Israeli equations and rules in front of the world," Qaouq said.
He added that Israelis can not return to the north before the war on Gaza stops.
Tens of thousands of people have been displaced on both sides of the border in the seven months of cross-border violence.
At least 410 people have been killed in Lebanon in months of cross-border violence, mostly snuffies but also including 79 civilians, according to an AFP tally.
Israel says 14 soldiers and nine civilians have been killed on its side of the border.
