Following the operation, Hezbollah announced that it had successfully completed the first part of its response to the assassination of its Resistance leader Sayyed Fouad Shokor.
In this phase, the group targeted Israeli barracks and sites to facilitate the passage of attack drones towards their intended target deep within the occupied Palestinian territory. The drones successfully reached their destination as planned, according to the statement.
Secondly, the statement confirms that the number of Katyusha rockets fired exceeded 320, targeting enemy positions.

In the wake of the Israeli military strikes, Hezbollah issued a third statement declaring that it had successfully launched all its attack drones at the designated times from their respective launch sites. The drones crossed the Lebanese-Palestinian border, targeting their intended objectives through multiple routes.
The Resistance also dismissed claims by the Israeli occupation that it had preemptively disrupted the operation and neutralized the attack as baseless and contrary to the facts on the ground.
