The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah announced that its fighters carried out multiple top-tier operations across and on the Lebanese-Palestinian border, targeting Israeli troop gatherings, settlements, military bases, and sites; and most remarkably, the Israeli Security Ministry in the city of Tel Aviv.
In a first, as part of its Khaybar series of operations and under the call "Labbyaka ya Nasrallah" [here we respond to your call, O Nasrallah], the Islamic Resistance announced that a swarm of drones was deployed and precisely struck the Kirya base, which houses the headquarters of "Israel's" Ministry of Security, General Staff, War Management Room, and the Air Force’s war monitoring and control authority, on Wednesday afternoon.
The Kirya base, which is located 120 kilometers from the Palestinian-Lebanese borders, was targeted for the second time, using the Qader-2 ballistic missile, and achieving direct hits.

The Israeli IWI arms production factory, located in Ramat HaSharon in the Tel Aviv suburbs, 110 kilometers from the Lebanese-Palestinian borders, was bombarded for the first time since the beginning of the war, using a barrage of advanced rockets that accurately struck their targets. The operation came as part of the Khaybar series as well and with the call of "Labbayk ya Nasrallah".
Hezbollah launched its first operation of the day at dawn, targeting Israeli soldier gatherings in easternmost Maroun al-Ras with a rocket barrage. Later in the afternoon, a second soldier grouping was targeted in the same area, with a rocket barrage. Another in Wadi Yaroun, northeast of the southern village of Yaroun, was also struck by a barrage of Hezbollah's rockets.
Throughout the day, occupation soldiers were also targeted in the Manara, Sa'sa, and Avivim settlements across the Lebanese-Palestinian border, with rocket barrages. Meanwhile, the Katzrin and Kfar Vradim settlements were also bombarded, as part of the framework of warnings issued by the Islamic Resistance to several northern settlements.
At noon, Hezbollah carried out two operations only minutes apart, intercepting a Hermes 450 drone and a Hermes 900 drone over the central sector using two surface-to-air missiles, forcing them to retreat and leave Lebanese airspace.
