BREAKING
Russian Ministry of Defense: 37 Ukrainian drones destroyed in 4 hours over regions of Russia and the Black Sea.
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.

A source in the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah confirmed to Al Mayadeen that the timing of the Military Media’s footage and aerial scenes captured by the Resistance in northern occupied Palestine, yesterday, Tuesday, codenamed “What the hoopoe came back with,” is linked to the visit of Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Washington. It entails a message with clear indications, he maintained.

Earlier, the Military Media of the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah released on Wednesday aerial footage of an Israeli military airbase captured by its drones north of occupied Palestine on Tuesday.

The special episode showed the Ramat David Airbase, the only Israeli military airbase in northern occupied Palestine, which is 46 kilometers from the Lebanese border.

The video captured by the Hoopoe drone, which successfully evaded Israeli surveillance and interception systems for the third time, showed all the facilities associated with the Ramat David airbase.

The source explained to Al Mayadeen that after the Israeli aggression on the Yemeni port of Hodeidah, today’s message is “emphasis on the unity of the fronts of support for the Palestinian people.”

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon has released the third episode of the "Hoopoe" series.

A source from #Hezbollah told #AlMayadeen that this footage, in its entirety, was captured yesterday, on Tuesday, July 23.

Moreover, the Islamic Resistance source indicated that this may be the first time in the entity’s history that the airspace of a Zionist air base has been penetrated, whereby the Resistance was able to dispatch the drone and ensure its return with this footage despite the Zionist entity’s state of high alert as it braces for “inevitable” attacks from Yemen.

In this context, the source touched on how the Resistance was able to mislead the air defenses and monitoring and reconnaissance devices and come back with the required footage from the airbase.

Commenting on the footage showcased by Hezbollah, the group's Military Media confirmed that “whatever footage the Resistance receives, it is capable of striking, with the deliberate intention at this very important phase of humiliating the enemy and bringing shame upon it.”

Hezbollah’s Military Media said that the intended message from the footage published today is that “the Resistance is in no way fearful of the enemy and will continue to collect any information it needs to confront Israeli terrorism.”

With this footage, the Lebanese Resistance “has demonstrated its ability to reach any point it wants.”

The Military Media indicated that the drone was able to infiltrate the Israeli airspace and return safely, pointing out that this would become a subject for discussion and questioning within the Israeli military establishment.

The source further touched on the importance of the Ramat David Airbase that was filmed, stressing that it is one of the most important air bases within the Israeli entity and is the only military air base in the north.

The Military Media confirmed that it will later distribute detailed information on the military base.

Regarding the importance of publishing this video at this particular time, the Military Media stated that “the Resistance was able to dispatch the plane [onto Israeli airspace] although the Israeli entity is on high alert as are its interception launchers and monitoring devices."

Despite all this, “the enemy failed to detect it, let alone be able to shoot it down,” it concluded.
