Hezbollah's advanced rockets strike Israeli bases on occupied North
Hezbollah continues to carry out its military operations, targeting and pounding Israeli assets, with direct hits confirmed.
The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah's first operation on Friday was carried out minutes after midnight, targeting the Shraga military base, the administrative headquarters of the Golani Brigade command in north Akka with a salvo of rockets.
As part of its "Khaybar" series of operations and under the call of "Labbayka ya Nasrallah" [here we respond to your call, O Nasrallah], the Islamic Resistance announced the targeting of the Tirat Carmel military base in southern Haifa, using a barrage of advanced rockets, later in the morning.
The operations, under Operation People of Might, come in defense of the Lebanese homeland and its steadfast people, in support of Gaza and its valiant Resistance, and in response to the massacres and crimes committed by the Israeli occupation, according to the Resistance's statements.

Israeli Reserve Major General Israel Ziv, former head of the Operations Directorate, warned that "Israel will be operating on limited munitions if a settlement [with Lebanon] is not reached," adding, "Winter is approaching, and it’s not in Israel's interest to get bogged down in Lebanon."
The Israeli general noted that "Hezbollah is regaining strength, which means Israel’s leverage in any political agreement is dwindling. What Israel could achieve yesterday, it can no longer achieve today or tomorrow." Moreover, he stressed, "Netanyahu is very weak and paralyzed when it comes to the Americans."
Ziv also admitted, "Unless Hezbollah is granted certain concessions or achievements, it will have no interest in a settlement, and we won’t have anyone left to negotiate with," adding that "Naim Qassem will not declare surrender—that won’t happen, just as it didn’t happen with Hamas."
"Israel is paying a heavy price, and the battlefield won’t wait for Trump," Ziv explained, before concluding that "in three months (by the time Trump is officially inaugurated), any military gains may be lost."
