The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah targeted the "Meron" Air Traffic Control Base, for the second time this year, in response to Israeli assassinations in Lebanon and Syria.

In a statement, Hezbollah announced that it launched a large number of rockets and missiles toward the "Meron" military Air Traffic Control Base, located atop al-Jarmaq Mountain.

Israeli media outlets said the power was cut off in several settlements near the "Meron" settlement around 8 km away from the Israeli withdrawal line. Sirens were sounded in several areas in Central al-Jalil, while Israeli media outlets said at least 15 anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs) hit sites in the occupied al-Jalil.

"Meron" base entered the long list of Israeli targets struck by the Resistance in Northern Occupied #Palestine.

Here's all you need to know about the base which was struck today with 62 rockets and missiles by the Lebanese Resistance.

The attack preceded a meeting of the Israeli war cabinet, which is supposed to be held in northern Israeli settlements, where the head of the colonial outposts, located on the frontlines, are supposed to meet with members of the Israeli cabinet in an extraordinary session.

Hezbollah also announced that its fighters targeted a grouping of Israeli occupation soldiers, positioned at the "Cobra" Hill, in the western district of operations, confirming direct hits to the intended targets on Tuesday morning.

First attack showcases Israeli vulnerability

The new attack on "Meron" followed another operation launched on January 6, where Hezbollah fighters launched 62 projectiles, including 22 long-range improved ATGMs at the site, in response to the Israeli aggression on the Southern Suburb of Beirut, in which martyr Saleh al-Arouri was assassinated.

The "Meron" Air Traffic Control Base, is the only Israeli site in occupied northern Palestine, which is capable of wide-scale command and control operations of the Israeli Air Force.

Moreover, the site includes several high-tech and state-of-the-art radar systems, including early-warning systems and equipment that is able to more accurately detect low-flying objects, such as drones or cruise missiles.

Following the January 6 attack, Hezbollah published video footage showcasing the accuracy of the attack on the Israeli base, in which multiple rockets surpassed Israeli defense systems and landed in and around the site, while around 82% of the ATGMs dealt precise hits to the intended targets in the base. Soon after the first operation was conducted, the Israeli military launched several moored balloons equipped with radar systems to make up for those damaged or destroyed by Hezbollah. 

Although the occupation maintained a high level of secrecy regarding the incident, Hezbollah's documentation of the event forced wider Israeli media coverage.
