Hezbollah Strikes Israeli Mountain Base In “Largest” Air Operation
BEIRUT, Jul 8 (NNN-NNA) – Hezbollah said yesterday, it attacked with drones at Israel’s technical and electronic reconnaissance centre in Mount Hermon, north of annexed Golan Heights, in response to Israel’s killing of a senior Hezbollah member a day earlier.
The well-equipped centre was set on fire, and its targeted devices were destroyed in the air attack by “successive squadrons of assault drones,” the Lebanese military said in a statement.
The military said, the centre in Mount Hermon was targeted for the first time, since the 1973 Arab-Israeli war, and the operation is considered the largest by Hezbollah’s air force since Oct 8, 2023.
Lebanese military sources said that, the Lebanese army positions, monitored the launch of several drones yesterday afternoon from the Lebanese side to Israel, some of which had been intercepted by the Iron Dome system and Israeli warplanes.
The Israeli side has yet to respond to Hezbollah’s announcement, which came a day after the Israeli military killed Hezbollah commander, Maysam Al-Attar, in a drone strike on the city of Baalbek, eastern Lebanon.
