The Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah has staged an unprecedented retaliatory strike on Israeli forces stationed in the northern part of the occupied Palestinian territories after an Israeli attack that assassinated a senior Hamas’ commander in Lebanon.
On Saturday, Hezbollah reported targeting the Michve Alon base, which it identified as a gathering and mobilization site for Israeli troops and an emergency storage facility near the town of Safad, for the first time.
The movement said it hit the positions of Israeli officers and troopers at the outpost “with swarms of attack drones, striking them directly and inflicting confirmed casualties.”
