The Lebanese Resistance, Hezbollah, announced retaliation for the assassination of martyr Sheikh Saleh al-Arouri, and his brothers, who were assassinated in Beirut, as well as the assassination of the martyred Hezbollah leader Wissam Tawil (Hajj Jawad).

In the statement announcing the operation, Hezbollah said that they targeted the headquarters of the Northern Command of the enemy's army in the occupied city of Safad (Dado Base) with a number of assault drones.

Operation significance: "Dado" base

The headquarters of the Northern Command of the Israeli Ground Forces, or “Dado” base, is responsible for commanding the two divisions currently concerned with operations on the Lebanese front, namely: The 91st Division (whose leadership was targeted by the Resistance in previous operations) opposite the eastern axis, and the 146th Division opposite the western sector of the southern Lebanese border.

The base contains a large number of command and control systems concerned with coordinating operations along the front with Lebanon. It is located at a depth of 12 km from the Lebanese border. The center is located in the occupied city of Safad, and the entire base's surrounding is inhabited by employees of the Northern Command.

This operation was not the first of the day, however, it was numbered second. 

The first operation was conducted at 9:30 am (local time) where Hezbollah targeted the Israeli-occupied al-Malikiyah site using the appropriate weapons, with direct hits recorded

The third operation was conducted at 9:35 am (local time) where Hezbollah targeted the Israeli al-Baghdadi military site using appropriate weapons, scoring a direct hit.

The fourth operation was conducted at 9:40 am (local time) where Hezbollah targeted the "Yiftah Kadesh" barracks using the appropriate weapons, resulting in a direct hit.

The fifth operation was conducted at 1:00 pm (local time) where Hezbollah targeted the "Hanita" site using appropriate weapons, resulting in a direct hit.

In turn, Al Mayadeen's correspondent in southern Lebanon reported earlier that two rockets were launched from the Lebanese territories; more specifically from the direction of Upper al-Jalil.

This comes after Hezbollah targeted the Israeli 'Meron' Intelligence and Airforce base, on January 6, using precision missiles and leaving the Israeli occupation forces troubled for days.

'A dramatic event...that should not be taken lightly'

When commenting on the operation carried out by the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon against the headquarters of the Northern Region Command, the Israeli Kan channel confirmed that the targeting was "a dramatic event, and it should not be taken lightly."

Israeli media recorded the launching of more than 20 missiles from Lebanon toward al-Jalil, noting that "Hezbollah launched a number of drones and rockets" toward northern occupied Palestine.

In light of the intensity of the targeting, the occupation's Army Radio reported that sirens sounded in the North 3 times, within less than an hour, for fear of a drone infiltrating the Upper al-Jalil.

Sirens sounded twice in occupied Safad within minutes, while panic prevailed in the streets among the settlers.

Israeli media also reported rockets being launched in the direction of "Yiftah Kadesh" barracks and "Menara", in parallel with the infiltration of a drone.
