The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah published footage of a drone attack on the Israeli Khirbat Ma'ar military base near the Lebanese-Palestinian border, which it conducted on Saturday. 

The Resistance also released footage from two other operations, including a drone attack on the Bayyad Blida military site, which directly impacted its target.

Footage of Hezbollah fighters targeting the headquarters of the aerial surveillance and operations management unit at the Meron base with guided missiles was also released. The Lebanese Resistance noted that the operation came in support of the steadfast people of Palestine and their brave Resistance, as well as a response to the attack and assassination carried out by the Israeli occupation in the Lebanese town of Jwaya.

Hezbollah also released footage of its third operation attacking the headquarters of the artillery battalion of the Western Brigade, targeting its command center and positionings of officers and soldiers in the Khirbet Ma'ar base. Resistance fighters launched a swarm of attack drones which destroyed parts of the base, caused the outbreak of fires, and resulted in casualties among occupation soldiers.

The attack was surveyed by a reconnaissance drone that flew over the base ahead of the arrival of the one-way drones. The UAV was capable of identifying the different departments in the base, which the drones later targeted. The Resistance only released footage of the impact of a single drone on its intended target, which was a container-style room utilized by Israeli troops. 

Hezbollah's Military Media Unit cut the footage short, saying that what was published in the video was what "was allowed for release."

Although this is not the first time that the Resistance publishes footage obtained by its reconnaissance drones from behind enemy lines, this is the first that footage of a drone surveying an attack is released.

200,000 settlers evacuated in the North

In a news piece covering alleged US efforts to de-escalate tensions along the Lebanese borders, Newsweek reported on Thursday that the number of settlers evacuated since the start of the war has reached 200,000.

The significance of these estimates lies in their contradiction of previous figures reported by "Israel", which claimed that the number of evacuees was a mere 60,000.

Israeli news agencies have been extensively reporting on the situation of settlers in the northern occupied territories, whom they describe as "exhausted and paying a heavy price due to the fighting with Hezbollah."

A report by Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth in March reported on settlers in the North as being "depressed" as they posed the question; "What do we do to end the nightmare of Hezbollah rockets?"

The newspaper cited an Israeli settler living in one of al-Jalil settlements near the border with Lebanon as saying that "settlers there live among Hezbollah rockets," describing the situation as "terrible".

Yedioth Ahronoth mentioned that more than 60,000 Israelis in al-Jalil settlements have been displaced and evacuated to other settlements since the start of the fighting in October.

It added that since October, the "northern community" has collapsed, many businesses have been shut down, and displaced settlers have scattered to other settlements.
