The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah conducted a number of operations against Israeli targets on Friday, supporting the Palestinian people and responding to Israeli aggression on Lebanese towns and civilians. 

The initial attack announced by Hezbollah on Friday saw the group's Unammed Air Force launch a swarm of suicide drones toward the Israeli Ras al-Naqoura Navy site. The drones impacted the dwelling areas and operations rooms of Israeli occupation officers and soldiers, causing confirmed casualties to the enemy force and destroying some of the site's infrastructure. 

The easternmost area of the axes of confrontation saw growing activity on Friday, as the Resistance focussed its firepower on Israeli-occupied Lebanese territories. 

At 1:12 pm (local time) Hezbollah fighters attacked the Roueisat al-Qarn military site in the occupied Lebanese Shebaa Farms with unspecified "rocket weapons."

Soon after, the Resistance attacked the nearby al-Ramtha military site, dealing direct hits to the intended targets. 

Hezbollah fighters also attacked the al-Sumaqah military site and the Zibdine military site in the occupied Shebaa Farms and Kfar Chouba Hills, respectively. 

The Resistance's Unmanned Air Force launched another attack, using a suicide drone, on a dug-in Israeli artillery unit in al-Za'oura, an area just behind the occupied Lebanese territories in the occupied lower Golan, dealing a direct hit to its target.

Hezbollah's drones: A real unchallenged threat to 'Israel'

The Islamic Resistance has increasingly deployed its suicide and reconnaissance drones in attacks on Israeli military positions, utilizing versions similar to the Shahed-101 and Ababil-T drones to conduct its attacks. Most recently the Resistance unveiled footage from an FPV drone attack on the Metulla military base. 

These drones have proven their worth on the battlefield, especially after Hezbollah's fighters directed Israeli electronic warfare systems, radars, and other air defense equipment in occupied territories. 

In a new report on Hezbollah's drones and the threat they pose to "Israel's" security, The Washington Post stressed their particular ability to evade Israeli air defense systems without being detected.

The report stated that "For years, the standoff on Israel’s border was between the massive rocket stockpile" of Hezbollah and the "vaunted Iron Dome antimissile system that ably handled most incoming rockets and artillery." However, this equation changed after Hezbollah deployed drones that successfully bypassed Israeli air defense, which also constitutes the cornerstone of "Israel's national security strategy."

In its coverage of the Hoopoe mission video released by the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon's Military Media on Tuesday, The Washington Post noted that "Israel" was shocked by what the drone captured of sensitive installations and sites in occupied Palestine, and by Hezbollah's advanced military capabilities, evident in the published video. 

The drones have proven to be problematic, both for their ability to precisely hit targets, but also for evading air defense capabilities and the high cost required for their interception. Despite the fact that the Resistance has boasted its local production capabilities of these cheap drones, the Israeli occupation is yet to find an effective answer to a new problem posed by the Islamic Resistance.
