The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah bombed Monday the headquarters of the Israeli occupation forces Unit 91 in the Branit barracks using a Burkan rocket.
In its statement, the group noted that the operation led to the injury of several occupation soldiers and that part of the barracks was destroyed and caught fire.
It added that the operation came in response to the Israeli attacks on residential areas in southern Lebanon, especially the attack on the town of Naqoura, in addition to supporting Gaza and its resistance.
The Resistance also bombed the Israeli occupation's Ramim and Zebdine barracks and the Raheb military site, leading to severe damages.
The Islamic Resistance announced the martyrdom of two of its fighters, Abbas Mahdi Mahdi and Raef Abdelnabi Mleiji from the southern town of Naqoura as martyrs on the path to al-Quds.
An Al Mayadeen correspondent reported that Hezbollah opened fire directly at the al-Jalil panhandle before confirming that the Branit site was bombed with a Burkan rocket.
Moreover, the settlement of Kiryat Shmona came under fire, indicating that sirens were activated in numerous northern settlements as the Israeli side believed that a drone had infiltrated the airspace of occupied Palestine.
Israeli media reported Saturday that Hezbollah has expanded its offensive capabilities since the beginning of the war, both in terms of the range it can reach and the tools it uses.
Alon Ben David, a military affairs analyst on the Israeli Channel 13, suggested that "Hezbollah is learning from the weaknesses it had at the beginning of the fighting," pointing out that the Lebanese Resistance group's activation of drones poses a significant challenge to the detection systems of the Israeli Air Force.
He also noted that some of Hezbollah's drones have a "radar signature" similar to that of a "swan", making them "very difficult" for the Israeli detection systems to identify and pinpoint them.
The analyst also addressed the number of Israeli casualties in the north of occupied Palestine, claiming that since the beginning of the war, 20 Israelis have been killed, with four killed in the last two weeks, adding that with such figures, "Israel" is paying "a hefty price."
"Nothing is comfortable for us, and Hezbollah reads the situation correctly, understanding that in light of the war in Gaza, Israel does not have the capacity to engage in a second battle in a decisive manner in the north," Ben David indicated.
He expressed a belief that until the end of the war on Gaza, "Israel" will not engage in a battle in the north, adding that Hezbollah is also analyzing the decisions of the Israeli leadership, which, according to Ben David, "is not very enthusiastic about solving the problems in the north."
