an expert disclosed to Al Mayadeen that the Karish footage, which was broadcasted by the media wing of the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon, was captured by an advanced thermal camera.

The expert pointed out that "the advanced thermal camera belongs to a missile weapon its goal is to engage with naval targets," adding that the distortion that appeared on the image in the video was "deliberate."

In addition, he pointed out that the video displayed "full intelligence supremacy" of the maritime space in which the Israeli occupation operates.

Furthermore, the expert also indicated that "Hezbollah has complete and accurate knowledge of the number of naval vessels, their coordinates, identities, and the number of workers on board."

The expert stressed that "the video proves that the Resistance does not need drones to take pictures of the occupation forces' naval vessels," and that the Israeli naval vessels were and still are in the Resistance's crosshairs and on its radars.

According to the expert, "Hezbollah's naval control and monitoring capabilities confirm Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah's claims that the drones' purpose, at the time, was to simply make a scene and clarify the extent to which the Resistance is serious about its claims." 

The Lebanese Resistance leader revealed at an earlier time during an exclusive interview with Al Mayadeen that Hezbollah had drones that could infiltrate the Israeli occupation at any time, saying they already had and were able to collect data without the IOF even detecting them.

"They went back and forth dozens of times."

On top of that, the expert emphasized that the timing of the war media's publication of this video carries a political message and does not only serve as part of psychological warfare against the occupation forces.

Earlier in the day, the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon war media published a video that displayed the coordinates of the Israeli occupation's gas rigs off the coasts of occupied Palestine in a clear message to "Tel Aviv".

The video was entitled: "[You are] in our crosshair... stalling is not beneficial."

The video showed footage of the drillship and the floating production unit alongside information pertaining to the specifics of their geolocation given their coordinates, information regarding the origin, and details of the ships at sea based on the flags they bear. Moreover, the video displayed the exact distance of each ship from Lebanese shores.
