On May 11, the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah announced a series of defensive operations against the Israeli aggression and violations that continue despite the so-called ceasefire reached in April. 

Hezbollah had vowed to respond to any violation committed by the Israeli regime, and has consistently carried out military operations targeting Israeli strongholds and assets in South Lebanon.

Baydar al-Faqaani: A top-tier sequence

Hezbollah announced a multi-phase military operation targeting Israeli occupation forces within a span of 20 minutes.

At 6:10 am, Hezbollah fighters targeted an Israeli force positioned inside a civilian home in the Baydar al-Faqaani area of the southern Lebanese town of al-Taybeh using an FPV drone, with the strike achieving a direct hit.

Ten minutes later, Hezbollah carried out a second FPV drone strike against the same force at the location, once again reporting a precise direct hit, prompting the occupation forces to call in reinforcements to evacuate the casualties.

At approximately 6:30 am, as the rescue unit arrived to evacuate and recover the targeted soldiers, Hezbollah launched a third FPV drone strike, directly hitting the reinforcement force. According to the statement, an Israeli helicopter was subsequently deployed to the scene under the cover of heavy smoke and intense suppressive fire to evacuate the casualties.

Israeli soldiers, assets struck

At 3:30 am, Hezbollah kickstarted the operational day by targeting an Israeli troop and vehicle concentration in the area between Wadi al-Oyoun and Sarbin with a rocket salvo. 

At 11:20 am, an Israeli gathering of vehicles and soldiers in Tayr Harfa was precisely targeted with an FPV drone, and flames were seen erupting from one of the fuel tankers at the site.

At 11:56 am, Hezbollah targeted an Israeli engineering vehicle east of al-Bayada with an FPV drone, achieving a confirmed hit.

At 1:30 pm, an Israeli Merkava tank in the town of Rshaf with an FPV. A direct hit was confirmed. 

At 2:20 pm, Hezbollah's fighters targeted an Israeli Humvee in Tayr Harfa with an FPV, achieving a precise shot. 

At 2:30 pm, Israeli enemy soldiers along the Deir Seryan river were targeted with two FPVs. 

At 3:05 pm, an Israeli drone was targeted with a surface-to-air missile over Tyre. 

At 3:15 pm, Hezbollah targeted an Israeli soldier and vehicle concentration in Rshaf with a rocket salvo. 

At 3:25 pm, a D9 military bulldozer was precisely struck by an FPV drone in Naqoura. 

At 4:00 pm, another D9 was targeted along the al-Bayyada-Naqoura road, using an FPV that achieved a direct hit. When a support force approached to recover the bulldozer at 4:55 pm, Hezbollah's fighters targeted the soldiers with a rocket salvo. 

Five minutes later, Israeli troops in al-Bayyada were targeted with a swarm of attack drones. Later, at 5:05 pm, another group of enemy soldiers in Naqoura was also targeted with a swarm of attack drones. 

At 5:20 pm, enemy soldiers in al-Bayyada came under attack for the second time by another swarm of attack drones. 

At 6:00 pm, the newly established Israeli artillery position in Adaisseh was struck by a swarm of attack drones. 

Again, at 6:15 pm, an Israeli troop and vehicle gathering near the targeted D9 bulldozers along the al-Bayyada-Naqoura road was targeted with artillery shells. 

At 6:50 pm, Resistance fighters targeted a newly established Israeli command center in al-Bayyada with a rocket barrage.
