The information we received confirms that what was reported by Al Mayadeen Network regarding the losses inflicted on "Israel" during Hezbollah's Operation Arbaeen is highly accurate, indicated Ibrahim al-Moussawi, a member of the Loyalty to the Resistance Bloc in the Lebanese Parliament.

Earlier, European security sources told Al Mayadeen that the strikes by the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah targeting the HQs of Unit 8200 in the Glilot base and the airbase of Ein Shemer have been substantially successful.

According to the sources, the attack has resulted in significant casualties within the Israeli intelligence unit, with fatalities reaching 22 and 74 members reported injured.

In a phone call with Al Mayadeen on Friday, al-Moussawi said, "If Israel truly achieved a victory by intercepting the missiles during Hezbollah’s response, why then did the chief of Unit 8200 resign?"

He said that information from inside and from sources outside occupied Palestine intersected and confirmed what Al Mayadeen had reported.

Al-Moussawi pointed out that "Israel" is accustomed to using its deception in media, but it did not dare bring journalists to the two bases to refute the Resistance’s information.

The Lebanese MP underlined that "the Resistance, with all its fighters and honorable supporters, continues to support the Gaza Strip and its Resistance."

"We are awaiting more information that we may disclose later regarding the occupation’s losses in Operation Arbaeen," he highlighted.

Earlier on Friday, al-Moussawi said that what Al Mayadeen reported about the Israeli losses in Glilot is evidence of the Resistance’s superior capabilities and prowess.

He addressed skeptics by saying, "Wait for more conclusive news."

In late August, Hezbollah announced that it launched an "initial response" to the Israeli assassination of Commander Martyr Fouad Shokor by launching a large number of drones deep into the occupied Palestinian territories.

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon clarified that the attack targeted a strategic Israeli military site.

Later, Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah announced that the primary targets of the operation were the central Glilot base of Israeli military intelligence Aman, incorporating the central hub of Unit 8200, located near Tel Aviv, and the Ein Shemer airbase.

He confirmed that "a significant number of drones hit their intended targets, but the enemy is keeping all relevant details concealed."

Sayyed Nasrallah explained that the operation entailed two phases. The initial phase was focused on targeting sites and barracks in northern occupied Palestine with the hundreds of intended rockets to exhaust and deplete the Iron Dome and interceptor missiles, which paved the way for phase two, which saw the swarms of drones heading toward their intended targets.

Hezbollah's secretary-general debunks Israeli claims

In an attempt to hide its losses, the Israeli occupation military claimed that it struck "thousands of Hezbollah rocket launchers" by some 100 fighter jets in preemptive strikes. But Sayyed Nasrallah emphasized that the Israeli account of events was "full of lies," reflecting the inherent weakness of the Israeli entity.

He made it clear that the Resistance, with a clear and precise strategy, had no intention of using such weapons in this particular operation.

The Lebanese Resistance leader affirmed that "Israel" had no intel whatsoever, stressing that all its raids an hour before the operation were the result of the natural movement of Hezbollah's fighters on the ground in preparation for the operation.

He affirmed that "all the raids launched by the enemy did not target the area of operation" and did not have any impact whatsoever on Operation Arbaeen.

"Our initial plan was to launch 300 rockets in this operation, but we ended up launching 340," the Hezbollah chief indicated, affirming that the Israeli military "did not thwart anything."

"What was planned was achieved to the fullest," Sayyed Nasrallah asserted.

Hezbollah's Op. Arbaeen 'complete success', drones struck Unit 8200

On August 29, informed sources told Al Mayadeen that it has been confirmed from within the occupation entity that Hezbollah has indeed succeeded with Operation Arbaeen in reaching and striking the 8200 intelligence unit.

The sources mentioned that at least six Resistance drones succeeded in penetrating the Israeli air defenses, adding that it has been undeniably confirmed that the drones hit their targets inside the Glilot base with high accuracy, prompting "Israel" to impose a tight security cordon around the base, extending several kilometers deep.

This cordon remained in place for several hours, restricting access for both civilian and military personnel, the sources indicated.

Elsewhere, the sources told Al Mayadeen that, for Hezbollah, Operation Arbaeen has been a complete success beyond any doubt despite the complete Israeli security, military, and media blackout.
