The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah launched at 7:40 am on Sunday an aerial attack with a squadron of kamikaze drones targeting the Bar Lev industrial zone near Akka.
In a statement, Hezbollah stressed that this operation comes in support of the steadfast Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, in support of their valiant and honorable resistance, and in defense of Lebanon and its people.
In this context, Israeli media confirmed that a drone exploded inside a building in the Bar Lev industrial zone, located between Akka and Karmiel, injuring four settlers at the scene.
Israeli army radio reported that Hezbollah "precisely targeted a factory for assembling aircraft components in the Bar Lev industrial zone west of Acre."
It added that "the army is investigating why the sirens were not activated in the Bar Lev Industrial Zone during the drone strike." Additionally, Israeli media released footage showing the drone flying before it detonated against the building of the BAZ aviation components firm.
According to the Times of Israel, the factory targeted by Hezbollah is a subsidiary of BAZ Aerospace Components. Located in the Bar Lev Industrial Zone southeast of Acre, the factory manufactures spare parts and assemblies for civil, commercial, and defense aviation, as detailed on the company's website.
In addition to supporting the Israeli occupation's "air defense" industries, approximately 50% of the company's sales are directed to international customers across Asia, Europe, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
At 1:30 pm, Hezbollah released footage showing scenes from the Islamic Resistance's targeting of an Israeli assembly point in the settlement of Shomera, north of occupied Palestine.
