Following Hezbollah's targeting of the Kirya base in Tel Aviv, and the subsequent rocket launches toward the central region in occupied Palestine, Israeli media suggested that the third phase of the war with Hezbollah includes Tel Aviv, emphasizing that the Lebanese group "is committed to the promises it made."  

Israeli Channel 12's political affairs correspondent, Yaron Avraham, considered that the launches directed at Tel Aviv are proof of Hezbollah's extensive firepower capabilities, pointing out that "anyone who believes otherwise is mistaken; the situation is not like that at all."  

Avraham indicated that this capability "shall remain with Hezbollah, even after the completion of a ceasefire agreement, if one occurs," with Israeli media outlets noting that the Lebanese group is capable of launching rockets at the central region daily.

Similarly, retired Major General Eitan Dangot acknowledged in a statement to Channel 12, that Hezbollah "maintains its rocket and drone capabilities and achieves successes through them."

Hezbollah drone strikes Israeli Security Ministry in Tel Aviv

In a first, the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah announced that its fighters launched Wednesday an aerial attack using a swarm of high-end one-way drones targeting the Israeli occupation's Security Ministry in the city of Tel Aviv.

In a statement, Hezbollah pointed out that it targeted the Kirya base, which houses the headquarters of "Israel's" Ministry of Security, General Staff, War Management Room, and the Air Force’s war monitoring and control authority.

According to the statement, the drones accurately hit their intended targets. This marks the first time that Hezbollah employed these types of drones in striking Israeli military targets.

The Islamic Resistance said the attack was part of its Khaybar series of operations and under the call "Labbyaka ya Nasrallah" [here we respond to your call, O Nasrallah].

The group also said the operation comes "in support of our steadfast Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, in solidarity with their brave and honorable resistance, and in defense of Lebanon and its people."

It is noteworthy that since late September, Hezbollah's high-end rockets, missiles, and one-way drones have reached the suburbs of Tel Aviv, targeting Israeli military bases, intelligence headquarters, as well as industrial military companies specializing in the production and development of military equipment and systems used by the Israeli occupation forces in their aggression and violations of the sovereignty of numerous countries in the region.

In a related context, former Israeli military spokesperson, Ron Kochav, said that the reality on the battlefield will determine the outcome of the war rather than a resolution, settlement, ceasefire, or diplomacy, given the daily 200 rockets and drones launched from Lebanon, and the consequent casualties and injuries.

Kochav told Channel 12 that Hezbollah "is smarter than Israel, and is employing the attrition strategy," which "might be the best method for Israel's enemies."

The former military spokesperson also admitted that "Israel" has not achieved the objectives of the war; it has not retrieved the captives held in Gaza, it has not defeated Hamas, and it has not safely returned Israeli settlers to the north.

Commenting on Security Minister Israel Katz's claims that "Israel" has defeated Hezbollah, the military correspondent for the Israeli news website Mako, Shay Levi, pointed out that the Lebanese group "will not be disarmed," even "through an incursion 5 kilometers deep."
