The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon, Hezbollah, announced on Monday that it launched a coordinated aerial attack on the Israeli military bases of Yaara and St. Jean. The assault, carried out by swarms of one-way drones, targeted Israeli assembly points, resulting in several casualties.

Hezbollah's statement described Yaara as the headquarters of the 300th Territorial Brigade of the Israeli occupation forces and St. Jean as a logistical base for the Northern Command of the Israeli army. The group emphasized that the attack was in retaliation for an Israeli operation in the Qadmous area near the southern city of Tyre.

In addition to the drone attack, Hezbollah launched rockets and artillery strikes on the Israeli Zarit barracks and surrounding assembly points, destroying parts of the barracks and setting them ablaze. This operation was also in response to Israeli attacks on southern Lebanese villages and residential areas, particularly in the town of Batoulieh.

Hezbollah stated that these operations were conducted in support of the resilient Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and in solidarity with their resistance.

An Al Mayadeen correspondent reported that one-way drones launched by the Lebanese Resistance had also targeted newly-established Israeli military sites in Western al-Jalil. Israeli news site Hadshot Hamot reported that one soldier had died and six others were wounded in the area, one of whom critically.

Israeli media had reported that the attack on Yaara was a "severe incident" revealing that the drones and rockets had penetrated from Lebanon and struck the settlement directly. 

Avi Ashkenazi, the military correspondent for the Israeli Maariv newspaper, described the rocket barrage that targeted the Nahariya area as "unusual." Israeli media reported that at least three injured individuals were transported to the Nahariya Medical Center following the drone explosions.

As Israeli media outlets reported on the sounding of sirens on Monday morning, one Israeli media outlet said, "Hezbollah woke up angry" on the bombardment of northern occupied Palestine.

'Israel' suffering extensive damages

Israeli media have revealed the significant damage inflicted on northern settlements by rockets from the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon, highlighting the widespread fear and panic gripping the settlers in those areas.

In this context, Israeli channel Makan reported on Sunday that in response to the ongoing shelling targeting Kiryat Shmona, the local authority has advised remaining settlers to stay near designated safe zones until further notice, in line with instructions from the Israeli army.

The local authority urged settlers to avoid gathering and wandering around the city unless necessary.

Following the rocket attacks in the Upper al-Jalil on Saturday and the subsequent fires in the area, the Israeli channel has confirmed damage to high-voltage lines supplying electricity to several settlements in the region.

On Saturday, several fires broke out in Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories as a result of a salvo of rockets fired by Hezbollah targeting the Israeli Ayelet HaShahar settlement near occupied Safad. 

Warning sirens were sounded in several settlements and the city of Safad in northern occupied Palestine at around noon (local time), including the occupied city of Safad and the town of Biriyeh, as well as the settlements of Amuka, Mishmar HaYarden, Ayelet HaShahar, and Alma. 

Israeli media outlets reported that rockets impacting the areas in the upper al-Jalil caused fires to break out over large areas. It is worth noting that Israeli settlers in these areas are yet to be evacuated by Israeli authorities. 

Tens of thousands rushed to bomb shelters on Saturday noon, while the local council in the area urged Israelis in settlements yet to be evacuated to reduce their movements and stay near bunkers and designated safe areas. Israeli media outlets also pointed out that settlers in the North "are wondering how long this situation will continue, as normal life is currently paralyzed."
