Hezbollah strikes Israeli military units in retaliation for killing its member
Shafaq News / Hezbollah confirmed on Tuesday that it targeted the headquarters of two Israeli military units in southern Palestine.
In a statement, Hezbollah stated, "In support of our steadfast Palestinian people in Gaza, and response to the Israeli aggression on the town of Adloun and the assassination of one of the Mujahideen brothers, the Islamic Resistance launched a combined aerial attack using surveillance and strike drones targeting the occupied city of Acre. The strikes successfully hit their targets with precision."
It is Hezbollah's most profound attack since October 7.
The group stated that the operation was a response to Israeli aggression targeting the town of Adloun and the assassination of one of its fighters.
Earlier, the Israeli forces announced the assassination of Hussein Ali Hussein Azkoul (codenamed Hadji), a Hezbollah official, in an airstrike targeting his car in Adloun, approximately 35 km from the border in southern Lebanon.
Israel said Azkoul is affiliated with Hezbollah's air defense unit and another official in the party's Radwan Force air unit."
Israel also announced it killed another Muhammad Khalil Attiya (codenamed Sajid.)
The group confirmed the deaths of the two members without specifying their seniority.
Hezbollah is one of the most powerful paramilitary forces in the Middle East that has been deeply involved in intense, near-daily cross-border fighting with Israel since October 7, marking the most significant escalation since the 2006 war.
So far, approximately 300 Hezbollah members have been killed in Israeli attacks in southern Lebanon.
Hezbollah mourns all its members killed by Israel under the slogan: "on the path to Jerusalem" since October 2023, in solidarity with the Palestinians in Gaza who have been subjected to Israeli aggression for about six months.
Conversely, the group has targeted Israel with heavy missiles, resulting in the deaths and wounding of soldiers and the destruction of hundreds of military telecommunication towers, as well as dropping drones, including the "pride" of the Israeli army industry Hermes 450, a multi-payload drone made by Elbit Systems, an Israel-based weapons manufacturer.
Israel remains highly secretive about its losses with Hezbollah, but all settlements in the northern region are devoid of residents, who have either fled elsewhere or sought refuge in shelters. There is also an internal Israeli conflict over the escalating tensions with Hezbollah, given the group's possession of an arsenal of up to 100,000 missiles, including those capable of reaching Tel Aviv, as stated by Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.
