Hezbollah quadrupled its rocket attacks against occupied territories in October, compared to the months that preceded it, the Israeli Alma Research Institute found, anticipating even heavier and more intense operations in the upcoming months. 

The Israeli Walla news website, citing the institute's report, consequently noted that as the Israeli occupation forces expanded their offensive in South Lebanon, Hezbollah launched over 300 rockets against territories the Israeli authorities had not evacuated. 

'Israel' suffers hundreds of monthly attacks 

According to the Alma Institute, Hezbollah adopted only half of the operations carried out across the Lebanese-Palestinian border, assuming responsibility for 694 operations out of 1,158.

This raises the total number of operations executed by the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon to 3,235 since October 8, 2023, averaging 270 operations per month. 

The report claimed that a total of 54 Israelis were killed on the northern front as a result of Hezbollah's operations, including 40 soldiers and an army officer, as well as 10 settlers [excluding direct confrontations during the ground invasion]. 

Moreover, 54% of the operations targeted areas near the Lebanese-Palestinian border, at a distance of up to 5 km, 18.6% of which were against Israeli forces in southern Lebanon.

In addition, Hezbollah expanded the range of its attacks, firing 296 projectiles at distances greater than 5 kilometers from the border, compared to 160 projectiles in September and August 2024.

Details show that most of these operations targeted border settlements, as follows: 81 on Metulla, 76 on Misgav Am, 64 on Kiryat Shmona, and 43 on Manara.

At the same time, October saw a remarkable increase in attacks on more distant areas compared to previous months, distributed as follows; 12 on Tel Aviv and the Gush Dan area, 25 on Haifa, 21 on the Krayot area north of Haifa and Akka, 17 on Karmiel, 21 on Nahariya, and 29 on Safad and Ras al-Naqoura.

On Hezbollah's superior drone system

Quoting Tal Barri and Dana Volk, researchers at Alma, Walla! stated that "missiles have become Hezbollah's main weapon" against the Israeli-occupied territories, with at least 2,291 rockets launched across the territories during October 2024.

Additionally, the drone system is "Hezbollah's trump card", according to the Israeli researchers, who explained that these drones "serve Hezbollah's strategy of attrition" as thousands of settlers seek shelter with the flight of just one drone.

In this context, the researchers estimate that Hezbollah "will continue to drain Israel."

Regarding Hezbollah's drones, the Alma report recalled the attack carried out by Hezbollah against the Golani Brigade in Binyamina, which resulted in the killing of four soldiers, as well as an attack on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's residence in Caesarea.

In this context, Netanyahu has moved his daily work to a fortified room in the basement of his office, Israeli media reported.

According to Israeli Channel 12, Netanyahu now spends most of his workday in this secured room, following guidance from security officials. The move reflects heightened security measures, as he avoids his usual office on an upper floor with a glass-walled area known as the "fish tank."

Reports indicate that Netanyahu was directed to use the basement room, offering superior protection, and was advised against staying in well-known, fixed locations.

These precautions were reportedly initiated after a Hezbollah drone exploded in Netanyahu's residence in Caesarea last October, shattering his bedroom window and causing additional damage, though Netanyahu was not home at the time.
