The Resistance stated that the operation came after the surveillance balloon's movement was accurately monitored and its launching location was pinpointed, while simultaneously declaring it in support of the resilient people of Palestine and their Resistance.
The spokesperson for the Israeli military consequently admitted that the spy balloon was hit during Hezbollah's operation, causing its fall in Lebanon.
Hezbollah also targeted the 801 Brigade headquarters in the Golan Heights using rocket weapons.
Moreover, "in defense of the resilient southern villages and civilian homes in Lebanon against Israeli aggression", Hezbollah in a statement announced targeting buildings where Israeli occupation soldiers are stationed in Avivim and al-Malikiyah.
The effects of Hezbollah's operations
Israeli media described today's operation as a "difficult incident that is being censored in the north", noting that censorship control would allow details to be published at a later time.
Two houses were also directly hit in the Metulla and Arab al-Aramsheh settlements by Hezbollah's anti-tank missiles. Israeli media also revealed that an Israeli soldier was killed, while another was severely injured, in the Adamit settlement.
Moreover, a fire broke out in a supply storage facility at the Tel Hashomer military base in Gosh Dan.
Israeli media further emphasized that Hezbollah forced the Israeli occupation to evacuate several military bases while destroying espionage poles and incurring damages against the Meron surveillance airbase, as well as downing drones. All damages were censored, according to Israeli media.
Meanwhile, settlers still in Kiryat Shmona were ordered to remain in shelters or bunkers, amid fears of rockets being launched at the settlement.
In the occupied Syrian Golan Heights, alarm sirens went out following several explosions, Israeli media stated, while simultaneously reporting the launching of several missiles at the Metulla, Avivim, and al-Malikiyah settlements.
This comes amid constant Hezbollah operations that are documented and published by its military media, which Israeli media admitted were accurate and showed its credibility. In contrast, the Israeli military spokesperson spreads lies. Consequently, Israeli media said Hezbollah's operations transformed the Israeli military into an army of cowards.
Israeli aggression against Lebanon continues
In turn, Al Mayadeen's correspondent in South Lebanon reported that the embedded camera in the Israeli espionage balloon was now in the possession of the Lebanese army.
However, Israeli aggression continued against the South of Lebanon, as Israeli artillery targeted the outskirts of the Hamoul village, while raids targeted Yaroun and Halta, according to our correspondent.
In Mays al-Jabal, the Islamic Resistance mourned the martyrdom of one of its fighters, Hussein Abbas Issa "Gharib", on the path to al-Quds.
