Hebrew media: We are going through a difficult day with an unprecedented Hezbollah attack and the north is burning

The Hebrew newspaper Maariv said on Thursday that the occupied north is literally burning, with Hezbollah launching dozens of missiles towards the occupation.


The newspaper added: "We are going through a very difficult day with an unprecedented Hezbollah attack and the north is literally burning."


Hezbollah launched 150 missiles and marches towards the north of the occupied territories, within 40 minutes, according to the “Roya” correspondent, causing massive fires to ignite in the north of the occupied Palestinian territories.


The occupation announced the suspension of classes in Safed, while more than 15 major fires were being dealt with after the last bombing.


Hebrew media said that a combined attack lasted half an hour, during which Hezbollah fired about 150 missiles, drones, and anti-armor missiles.


A senior Hezbollah official confirmed that the attack carried out today is the largest and most comprehensive since last October 8, and that the combined attack aims to deter Tel Aviv and respond to the assassination of military commander Talib Abdullah.


He said that the leadership of the northern region in the Golan, known as David's Base, the headquarters of the "Israeli" intelligence in the northern region responsible for assassinations in Lebanon, and the headquarters of the Seventh Regular Armored Brigade in the occupied Golan were attacked.


Earlier, a video clip published by an Israeli occupation forces soldier on the “X” website, before he later deleted it, showed the Israeli occupation army throwing fire shells from a primitive machine resembling a “catapult” towards Lebanese territory to ignite fires there.


For more than 6 months, the Israeli army has been launching “projectiles” that release incendiary materials on the Lebanese side, with the aim of burning the bushes and forests near the border strip in southern Lebanon.


The Hebrew Channel 12 said that Hezbollah members set up fortifications in those woods and planted explosive devices to prevent the advance of Israeli army forces if they entered Lebanon.


The channel added that the decision to use the catapult was born at the field level, due to the difficulty of activating the air force for missions of this type and of course due to the economic cost.
