Titled "This is what the Hoopoe came back with," the nine-minute-and-a-half video captured footage and exposed sensitive Israeli sites, Al Mayadeen reported.
Hezbollah indicated that the video was only the first episode of more yet to come, highlighting that the drones bypassed Israeli air defenses and returned to Lebanese airspace without being detected.
The published footage included intelligence information about Israeli sites inside occupied Palestine and clearly showed that the drone arrived at the port of Haifa, undetected.
Hezbollah's drones brought back footage and information about sensitive sites they captured over Haifa starting with the port itself to oil refineries and military factories, not to mention the locations of military battleships and important economic hubs in the port.
In detail, the video first shows Hezbollah's drones flying over a military-industrial complex belonging to Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, which includes numerous factories, warehouses, and testing fields in which components of air defense systems are manufactured and assembled, especially the Iron Dome and David's Sling.
Iron Dome and David's Sling platforms, rocket engine test tunnel and storage, air defense missile storage, missile component manufacturing facilities, control and guidance systems factories, company administrative buildings, and missile testing radars were all filmed in the video.
According to Hezbollah, the area is highly vital and sensitive, occupies an area of around 6.5 km2, and is 24 km away from the Lebanese-occupied Palestinian border.
The video also included an overview of Krayot, an Israeli suburb north of occupied Haifa, which includes six occupied cities with a population of 260,000 Israeli settlers. Hezbollah published a complete high-definition view of the urban conglomeration there, with a real-time tour detailing Krayot districts and neighborhoods, including residences of Israeli officials and commercial complexes.
The scenes also filmed the Yitzhak Ben-Tzvi Street, Karti Square, Savyonei Yam complex, and Abraham Gardens towers.
Hezbollah’s drones reached Haifa port ‑ the largest in the occupied territories ‑ and captured footage of the Haifa port Bay area, a highly valuable economic and trade area that hosts massive military installations, industrial infrastructure, and commercial areas.
The area includes the Haifa military base, which is the main naval base for the Israeli occupation forces which is responsible for the northern naval front, as well as Iron Dome storage and platforms, petrochemical facilities, oil silos, the Haifa power station, and Haifa airport.
The Haifa Port area includes ship maintenance hangars, the building of Unit 3800 at Haifa Naval Base, main warehouse and supply section at the Haifa Base dockyard, the Yaltam Unit building, submarine unit buildings, submarine dock and mooring, and the Sheyetet 7 submarine unit command building.
Hezbollah video filmed the Karmiel and Mizrahi piers, as well as container ships and port operations.
The drone footage has stolen the limelight at major news agencies.
Al Jazeera said the video could deal humiliating blows to Israel. “This is a humiliation – this is how it is being described by some even in Israel on how this drone was able to get all these detailed images from cities in northern Israel,” the news network said.
Hezbollah has sent surveillance and attack drones into Israel in the past eight months as it exchanges fire with the Israeli military in response to the regime’s war on Gaza.
