Hezbollah bombs Israeli bases and settlements
Lebanese Hezbollah announced on Sunday evening and Monday morning that it had attacked several military bases and settlements in northern Israel, in response to the Israeli aggression on Lebanon and in support of the Gaza Strip.
Since September 23, Israel has been launching an aggression against Lebanon, resulting in hundreds of martyrs and thousands of wounded, and has also begun a ground invasion in the south.
In return, Hezbollah responds daily by launching missiles, drones and artillery shells targeting military sites, intelligence headquarters, military gatherings and Israeli settlements.

In a previous series of statements via the Telegram platform, the party said: “For the first time, we bombed the Haifa Technical Base (which belongs to the Israeli Air Force and contains a training college for preparing Air Force technicians) in the occupied city of Haifa with a batch of qualitative missiles.”
Hezbollah fighters launched a squadron of drones at the Elyakim base (which contains training camps affiliated with the Northern Command) south of Haifa and "hit their targets accurately," according to the party's statement.
They also fired a barrage of rockets at the Beit Lid base, which belongs to the Central Command (which contains training camps for the Nahal Brigade and the Paratroopers Brigade) east of the city of Netanya, and "hit its targets accurately," according to a statement.
According to its statements, the party targeted the Zevulon military industries base north of Haifa with three missiles, a gathering of Israeli forces at the Israeli Al-Baghdadi military site, and a gathering at the newly established headquarters of the Western Brigade command in the Yara barracks.
Its elements also fired a guided missile at a "command room in the settlement of Matala, hitting its target accurately, killing and wounding those inside."
Hezbollah also said that its fighters targeted "a Merkava tank at the gate of Metula (a military site in northern Israel) with a guided missile, which led to it burning and its crew being killed and wounded."
