For the first time, Hezbollah strikes an Israeli communications base and a military factory for defense industries within the "Khaybar" series of strategic operations.
The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah commenced its operations against the Israeli occupation bases and sites on Saturday by targeting the Zvolon military industrial base, north of the city of Haifa, with a barrage of rockets.
The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon continues to launch operations against the Israeli occupation within Operation People of Might, targeting the bases and gatherings of occupation forces in northern occupied Palestine and deep within the occupation entity.
At midnight, the Resistance fighters targeted the occupied city of Safad with a barrage of rockets.
These operations come in support of the steadfast Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and their valiant and honorable Resistance and in defense of Lebanon and its people.
In this context, Al Mayadeen's correspondent in South Lebanon reported that two rocket salvos were launched from Lebanon toward the occupied Palestinian territories, confirming that a rocket salvo was launched toward the al-Jalil panhandle as well. Meanwhile, Israeli media reported that a rocket fell near Kiryat Bialik, near Haifa.
Sirens sounded in Safad, Akka, Haifa Bay, and Krayot, as well as in the settlements of Kiryat Shmona, al-Manara, Tel Hai, Metulla, Upper al-Jalil, Miskaf-Am, and Kfar Giladi in the al-Jalil panhandle.
The Resistance forces struck the settlement of Avivim, targeting an Israeli military grouping. Shortly after, a precision rocket barrage hit the Haifa Technical Base, a key facility linked to the Israeli Air Force in occupied Haifa. The attacks continued throughout the day, with the Resistance fighters striking the settlements of Hatzor HaGlilit and Rosh Pina with further rocket salvos.
By early afternoon, the Resistance expanded its strikes to include Kiryat Shmona, marking the second such strike on the settlement. This was followed by an operation targeting Ma'alot Tarshiha, also hit for the second time. Soon after, rockets targeted the Meron Air Operations Base, followed by attacks on Israeli military groupings in Metulla and occupied Safad.
The afternoon saw continued launches on the settlement of Katzrin at 4:00 pm and artillery positions in Hagoshrim, responsible for recent cluster bomb attacks on southern Lebanese villages. Another operation followed on the Baghdadi artillery site southwest of Kiryat Shmona.
As evening fell, the Resistance shifted tactics, deploying one-way assault drones in a series of unprecedented strikes. A drone swarm accurately targeted Israeli forces east of Maroun al-Ras, followed minutes later by a rocket barrage on Israeli positions south of the town. The culmination of the day’s operations saw Islamic Resistance fighters launching one-way assault drones at the Ein Khozlot communications base, a significant military installation 55 km south of the Lebanese-Palestinian border near Lake Tabarayya. According to sources, the drones struck their targets with precision.
The operations also followed attacks on Friday, when the Islamic Resistance hit the Haifa Technical Base with rockets, marking the start of this recent wave of strikes.
