Hezbollah announced on 13 November that it had successfully targeted the Israeli military’s Kirya base in Tel Aviv, home to the Defense Ministry, General Staff, War Room, and Air Force Command and Control Center, twice in the same day.
“The Islamic Resistance launched, for the first time, an aerial operation with a squadron of qualitative assault drones targeting the Kirya Base … in Tel Aviv, hitting their targets precisely at 3:30 pm on Wednesday,” a statement by Hezbollah said.
Israeli media denied the report, claiming, “There is currently no indication that any drones reached central Israel or came near army headquarters.”
The Islamic Resistance movement in Lebanon later issued a second statement saying that it struck the Kirya base a second time at 6:15 pm, with Qader 2 ballistic missiles, which hit “their targets precisely.”
Hezbollah declared on Wednesday that it has bombarded the Glilot Base – headquarters of the Military Intelligence Unit 8200 in the suburbs of Tel Aviv, which it had also successfully targeted on 2 November – with a qualitative missile barrage.
A squadron of Hezbollah attack drones also struck Israel’s Amos base on Wednesday. The base is an important transport and technology readiness hub for Israel’s northern region, located 55 kilometers from the Lebanese–Israeli border.
Almost two months after the start of Israel’s massive bombing campaign on Lebanon, Hezbollah remains capable of striking military targets deep within Israel while simultaneously thwarting the ongoing Israeli ground invasion of the country.
