A screen grab from a video published by Hezbollah's military media.
Under the title "From Kiryat Shmona all the way to Eilat," the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah published a new video in Hebrew showcasing its missile capabilities.
In a clear message to "Israel", the video includes footage of missile launches carried out by Hezbollah and maps highlighting the range of these missiles, which can reach southern occupied Palestine, specifically the occupied city of Umm al-Rashrash (called "Eilat" by the Israelis) on the northern coast of the Red Sea.
In addition, the video features an earlier statement by Hezbollah's Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah during his earlier speech, where he warned the Israeli occupation's leaders that the Resistance has a massive missile power that would allow it to strike Israeli targets from "Kiryat Shmona" all the way to "Eilat".
The Lebanese leader also pointed out that "Israel" must prepare shelters and tents to host two million displaced Israeli settlers from northern occupied Palestine as a result of the Resistance's rockets.

Following Sayyed Nasrallah's speech, Israeli media reported heightened military mobilization in northern settlements.
The Israeli channel KAN mentioned that Israeli occupation authorities blocked several roads in the north in the wake of Sayyed Nasrallah's speech.
In a related context, the former head of Mossad, Danny Yatom, considered that it is not in "Israel's" interest to initiate a war front with Hezbollah in southern Lebanon.
Yatom told an Israeli media outlet that "Israel" stands alone today against the Axis of Resistance, "and instead of the liberal democratic axis, led by the United States, fighting against this Axis, we are forced to fight it."
Hezbollah claimed Friday responsibility for targeting military sites and assembly points of Israeli occupation forces at the Lebanese border area with occupied Palestine.
In several statements, the Resistance declared its operations during Sayyed Nasrallah's speech.
The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon announced that it targeted the assembly points of Israeli occupation soldiers around the "Dovev" barracks with missiles, inflicting major casualties upon their deployments.
Similarly, the Resistance targeted a group of Israeli soldiers stationed at the "Ramia" site, confirming direct hits and causing numerous casualties, killing at least one soldier.
Hezbollah issued a few more brief statements confirming that its fighters attacked the Zibdine and Roueissat al-Alam military sites in the occupied Lebanese Shebaa Farms.
Moreover, Hezbollah attacked the Israeli al-Malikiyah site with the notorious, high-payload Burkan rockets, causing severe casualties among the occupation forces.
