Hezbollah launched on Saturday coordinated operations in steadfast support of the Palestinian resistance in Gaza and in defense of Lebanese territories and people. The group’s Military Media reported rocket attacks and drone strikes targeting strategic locations in the occupied territories, as well as against Israeli occupation forces. Additionally, Hezbollah fighters successfully downed an Israeli Hermes-450 UAV in Lebanese airspace, underscoring their commitment to countering the Israeli threat.
Meanwhile, Zionist officials, including Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi, have called for settlers’ return by year-end, but Kiryat Shmona Mayor Avihai Stern stated the process is still far off. Israeli Channel 12 also noted that even after the conflict, the Israeli occupation entity cannot guarantee the absence of rocket fire from Lebanon.
Hezbollah’s military media released a series of statements detailing the attacks and their outcomes:
The initial statement indicated that at 9:00 AM on Saturday, November 9, 2024, Islamic Resistance fighters launched a rocket salvo at the Zevulun military industries base north of Haifa.
The second statement declared that at midnight on Saturday, the Islamic Resistance fighters targeted the occupied city of Safed with a barrage of rockets.
Hezbollah’s third statement indicated that at 7:30 AM, the group’s fighters accurately targeted the Kiryat Shmona settlement with a rocket salvo.
Simultaneously at 11:30 AM on Saturday, Islamic Resistance fighters targeted a gathering of Israeli occupation forces in both the Al-Manara settlement and the Al-Abbad site, as per the group’s fourth and fifth statements.
According to the sixth statement, at 8:00 AM, Hezbollah’s Air Defense Unit shot down a Hermes 450 UAV with a surface-to-air missile, causing it to crash in the town of Deir Siryan. Subsequently, enemy warplanes conducted a raid on the wreckage.
