Hezbollah launched more than a hundred rockets and dozens of suicide drones drones at nine sites of the Israeli Defense Fores (IDF) in a coordinated attack June 13.
Katyusha and Falaq rockets targeted the al-Zaoura barracks, Kela barracks, Yoav barracks, Katsafia base, Nafah base and the “Sahel Battalion” in Beit Hillal base, Hezbollah said in a statement, adding that suicide drones also struck the David base, which hosts the headquarters of the Northern Region Command, Mishar base, where intelligence units working on assassinations in Israel’s northern front are deployed, and Katsavia barracks, which is the headquarters of the 7th Regular Armored Brigade of the 210th Golan Division.
The Hezbollah-linked Al-Manar TV reported more than 100 rockets fired at once during the coordinated attack. Meanwhile, a security source told Reuters that the attack also involved launching at least 30 suicide drones.
Hezbollah said that the attack was carried out in response to the recent Israeli assassination of t its senior commander Taleb Sami Abdullah, who was also known as “Abu Taleb,” as well as in support of the Palestinian people and resistance in the Gaza Strip.
The IDF reported that some 40 rockets launched by Hezbollah crossed the border, many of which were intercepted by air defenses, but others impacted, causing at least 15 fires. Two men in their 20s were also lightly hurt by shrapnel.
Another seven “suspicious aerial targets” -thought to be drones- were identified, the IDF said. Four of the suspected drones were shot down by air defenses, the IDF added, noting that there were no injuries.
This was reportedly the largest attack launched by Hezbollah since October, when the group started exchanging fire with the IDF in parallel with the Israeli war on Gaza.
The attack was not the only one announced by Hezbollah during the day. The group said in three other statements that its fighters targeted al-Raheb site with artillery and heavy machine guns, struck the al-Ramtha site with “suitable weapons and launched more suicide drones at the Mishar base and Katsavia barracks.
In an initial response to Hezbollah’s attacks, the IDF said its fighter jets struck infrastructure of the group in the southern Lebanese town of Deir Seryan. No casualties were reported by Lebanese media.
Despite the recent escalation in the clashes between the IDF and Hezbollah on the Israeli-Lebanese border, a full-blown war between the two remains highly-unlikely.
So far, the clashes on the border have resulted in ten civilian deaths on the Israeli side, as well as the deaths of at least 15 IDF soldiers and reservists. On the Lebanese side, more than 400 people have been killed, including 324 fighters of Hezbollah and at least 80 civilians.

hezbollah has been systematically degrading israel’s defence network meantime israel has been picking off one or two hezbollah operatives here and there for no strategic gain. if a war kicks off israel will be completely vulnerable to hezbolla, iraqi and syrian rocket attacks and the rumour is hezbollah is sitting on a surprise for the israeli airforce in the event of a full blown war.
the idf has reached peak point. all down hill from here. thats why the americans are desperate for a deal. hesbollah has systematically destroyed the air defence system in the north. some israelis are starting to appreciate the dangers. thats why gantz got out. gaza has become the idfs cannae. they been suckered into the centre as the wings start to contract.
much more important than the hits themselves is the fact to signal to the jews that you are no longer safe, we will meet you when, where and how we want!
an unquantifiable psychological victory
israel as a zionist experiment is failing. the glory days are long gone. this is not your father’s 1967 army any longer. smart jews have already left israel they see the writing on the wall. intel has cancelled a $25 billion gigafactory in israel, they see the writing on the wall too
the illegal and criminal occupiers of palestine will soon be gone, looking for a new home and they will find that no one wants them. the heroin smuggling business from asia to europe with cia will be gone so no cash there for mossad but they can kiss some mexican ass trying to get into the coke-business although my guess is that the cartel can do it themselves.
the dirty jew cries out in pain whilst he rapes you.
jew town is about to burn down this year so get your popcorn ready
dead rotten jews in the street is a bout to be a daily event.
they made up the holohoax and lied about 6 million dead jews… they may just get what they wished.. the world will be more than happy to help
