A fire rages near Kiryat Shmona in occupied Palestine, on June 3, 2024 (Social media)
Hezbollah's Unmanned Air Force claimed several Israeli targets on Monday, marking one of the most intense use of attack drones by the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon during the Battle of Al-Aqsa Flood.
To initiate Monday's operations in support of Palestine, Hezbollah fighters attacked an Israeli military vehicle in Mount Adather to the west of Kibbutz Sasa, causing casualties among its crewmembers.
The attack was conducted via an anti-tank guided missile and came after precise monitoring of the vehicle's movements by Hezbollah fighters. According to the military media, the attack destroyed the vehicle and set it ablaze, killing and injuring its crew.
Later in the afternoon, at 1:35 pm (local time), Hezbollah fighters targeted a grouping of Israeli occupation troops near the Ramyah military site. The attack was conducted via unspecified "rocket weapons" and dealt direct hits to the targets.
Hezbollah's artillery units also targeted Israeli spyware and reconnaissance equipment in the Malikyah military sites.
The Resistance also launched dozens of Grad-type rockets at the positions of Israeli artillery units in al-Zaoura.

A fire is also raging in al-Jalil Panhandle, spreading to the largest settlement in the area, Kiryat Shmona.
Israeli media outlets reported that residents in Kiryat Shmona were evacuated after the fires spread due to missile launches from Lebanon. Reports added that dozens of fire brigades have been working for more than 6 hours in an attempt to control the fires in the Upper al-Jalil.
Kiryat Shmona Municipality says the fire is spreading toward residences, and asks residents who remain in the city to stay in their homes and close the windows.

Hezbollah's suicide drones plague Israeli commanders
Concerning the attacks by Hezbollah's Unmanned Air Force, the force launched three operations on Monday afternoon, utilizing several suicide drones on three distinct targets.
In the first attack, Hezbollah fighters launched a swarm of suicide drones toward the recently set up command and control post for the 91st Division's 769th Territorial Brigade "Hiram", which commands ground operations on the eastern section of the northern front.
The command post has been relocated to Nahal Gershom, east of Dishon, after the main command and logistics posts in Kiryat Shoman and Beit Hillel, respectively, came under several direct attacks that severely damaged the sites. The newly set up post is around 15 km south of Camp Gibor, Hiram's administrative base, and around 6.5 km away from the Israeli line of withdrawal from South Lebanon. It is worth noting the post is now located in a relatively desolate area.
The drones launched by Hezbollah impacted in a "precise" fashion Israeli officers and soldiers positioned in a building, setting it ablaze and killing several occupation troops.
Hezbollah's Unammed Air Force also launched a suicide drone at the military tent in the Metulla military site, dealing a direct hit to the intended target.
On the Mediterranean coast, the Resistance launched several suicide drones toward targets located to the south of Liman in occupied Palestine. The drones bypassed the Israeli Iron Dome systems, which launched several interceptors in an attempt to down them and failed, impacting their targets.
The interception attempt resulted in several anti-air missiles falling in Nahariyah, causing material damage.
