Hezbollah has retaliated to the latest Israeli aggression by
bombarding Haifa with missiles and rockets overnight on Saturday and
Sunday. It attacked a group of military bases in Haifa and the Carmel
region.
These included:
1- Haifa Technical Base (affiliated with the Israeli Air
Force, housing a training college for preparing Air Force technicians).
2- Haifa Naval Base (affiliated with the Israeli Navy,
housing a fleet of missile boats and submarines).
3- Stella Maris Base (a strategic base for maritime
surveillance and control along the northern coastline).
4- Tirat Carmel Base (housing the regiment and battalion of
the northern region’s transport and a logistical naval base).
5- For the first time, Nesher Base (a gas station affiliated
with the “Israeli” military).
Footage shows widespread devastation in the industrial
Israeli hub. The Israeli military reported a number of casualties.
The Hezbollah attacks also led to a power outage in the
city. Verified videos circulating on social media show several areas of Haifa
in the dark without electricity.
Israeli media reported a massive missile strike launched
from southern Lebanon towards Haifa and its surroundings making direct impact
with air raid sirens blaring non-stop.
On Sunday, Hezbollah waged more operations “in support of
the steadfast Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, backing their valiant and
honorable resistance, and in defense of Lebanon and its people.”
These included: “Operations targeting Israeli attempts to
advance along the Lebanese-Palestinian borders, intercepting enemy drones and
warplanes, and striking Israeli military sites, bases, deployments, and
settlements in northern and deep occupied Palestine.”
Hezbollah struck the Israeli enemy gatherings with rockets
on the outskirts of Khiam as the occupation forces (IOF) failed once again in
their attempts to advance.
Footage purportedly showed smoke rising from vehicles
belonging to the Israeli occupation forces igniting on fire during clashes in
Wati al-Khiam, east of the town of Khiam in southern Lebanon.
Hezbollah announced an Israeli army gathering was attacked
on the southern outskirts of Khiam town with a rocket barrage.
There Israeli Merkava tanks were spotted, being forced to
withdraw from the outskirts of Khiam at high speed.
The IOF reportedly reached its deepest point in Lebanon
since the attempted ground invasion in late September before pulling back after
fierce battles with Hezbollah fighters.
Troops temporarily took control of a strategic hill in the
southern Lebanese village of Chamaa, five kilometers from the border, the
state-run National News Agency said.
The agency noted the IOF was later pushed back from the
position.
Hezbollah announced its fighters targeted an Israeli Merkava
tank on the eastern outskirts of Chamaa with a guided missile, causing it to
burn and resulting in casualties among its crew.
Meanwhile, the resistance targeted the “Krayot area north of
the occupied city of Haifa with a rocket barrage” on Sunday.
Hezbollah also attacked the Ma’aleh Golani Barracks (the
headquarters of the Hermon Brigade 810) with a rocket barrage.
Despite the heavy Israeli bombardment of the Lebanese border
region in the south, Hezbollah is launching more long-range missiles.
