Hezbollah bombs Israeli Ministry of War headquarters 'The Kirya' with qualitative missiles

Lebanese Hezbollah announced, early Thursday, the execution of a qualitative military operation targeting the depth of the Israeli occupation in the city of Tel Aviv. The party clarified in an official statement that its fighters launched volleys of qualitative missiles towards the Israeli Ministry of War headquarters, known as 'The Kirya', located in the heart of the city, in addition to targeting the 'Dolphin' barracks belonging to the military intelligence division in the north.

The party affirmed that this attack comes within the framework of legitimate defense of Lebanon and its people, and in response to the Israeli persistence in targeting civilians and infrastructure. The statement stressed that the brutal destruction operations adopted by the occupation against residential complexes will not pass without a deterrent response that reaches vital and military sites in the depth.

Meanwhile, field sources reported the activation of sirens in a wide range covering dozens of areas and towns in the Central region 'Gush Dan'. The sources indicated that the sound of explosions was clearly heard in various areas, including settlements near the city of Qalqilya and areas in the occupied West Bank, due to the force of the missile volley.

The state of alert included more than 30 Israeli areas, where sirens sounded in the northern neighborhoods of Tel Aviv and eastern suburbs such as Ramat Petah Tikva and Ramat HaSharon. Warnings also extended to include the cities of Kfar Saba, Ra'anana, and Hod HaSharon, prompting thousands of settlers to flee en masse to shelters and fortified areas.

Media reports monitored the arrival of missile fragments or the sound of their explosions in Arab towns inside the Green Line, including the city of Tira in the Triangle region and Kafr Qasim. The sounds of explosions were also heard in the Ras al-Ain area, amid a state of security confusion among the occupation's apparatuses that tried to intercept the missiles launched from Lebanon.

For its part, Hebrew media reported that air defense systems tried to intercept at least six missiles launched from Lebanese territory towards the center of the country. Channel 12 Hebrew confirmed that ambulance and rescue teams rushed to several sites from which reports of falling fragments or injuries and panic attacks were received, without disclosing the exact extent of material losses.

The Israeli occupation authorities impose strict military censorship and media blackout on the results of these strikes, preventing the publication of any photos or details related to the targeted sites. These measures come in an attempt to reduce the psychological impact of Hezbollah's operations, and to prevent the leakage of information that might benefit the resistance in assessing the accuracy of its hits.

On the ground, the occupation continues its widespread aggression on Lebanon since the beginning of March, using a scorched-earth policy in border villages. These air and ground attacks have led to the martyrdom of more than a thousand Lebanese citizens and the injury of thousands, in addition to a major displacement wave exceeding one million people fleeing indiscriminate shelling.

In contrast, Hezbollah is intensifying the pace of its military operations using drones and ballistic and qualitative missiles to strike military bases and settlements. The Lebanese resistance confirms that these operations will not stop until the comprehensive aggression on Lebanon and Gaza ceases, stressing its ability to reach distant strategic targets.

It is worth noting that the current escalation comes amid the continued occupation of parts of southern Lebanon, and rising regional tensions since last October. Political and military circles are awaiting the repercussions of targeting 'The Kirya', given the security and political weight of this site, as it includes the offices of the occupation's supreme military command.
