Hezbollah Claims Responsibility for Multiple Attacks on Israeli Sites

Beirut: Hezbollah announced that it executed 25 rocket and drone attacks targeting Israeli military sites, settlements, and troop gatherings across northern and central Israel, as well as positions near the border in southern Lebanon. The group stated these actions were in response to ongoing Israeli strikes on Lebanese towns and cities, including areas in Beirut's southern suburbs.

According to Anadolu Agency, Hezbollah detailed its operations, claiming multiple attacks on the Israeli town of Nahariya and rocket fire targeting Kiryat Shmona. The group reported that it used loitering drones to strike the Yaara barracks and drones to attack the Meron air control and surveillance base in northern Israel, alleging damage to one of the base's radar systems.

Hezbollah further asserted it had targeted the headquarters of Israel's Shayetet 13 naval commando unit at the Atlit base, south of Haifa, with precision rockets. The group also said it launched rocket attacks on Israeli air defense systems in Maalot-Tarshiha and targeted the settlements of Admit, Zar'it, Shlomi, and Even Menachem, as well as the Malkia military site, using rockets and drones.

In central Israel, Hezbollah claimed to have targeted the Beit Lid military base, which hosts training camps for the Nahal and Paratroopers brigades, with rockets. It also purportedly struck the Glilot base near Tel Aviv, home to the headquarters of Israel's military intelligence Unit 8200, along with air defense systems near Caesarea.

In southern Lebanon, the group said it targeted gatherings of Israeli troops at several locations near the border, including Merkaba, Blat, Tel al-Hamamess, Jabal Warda, and Adaisseh, using rockets and artillery shells.

The conflict escalated following an initial attack by Hezbollah on March 2, in retaliation to repeated Israeli attacks on Lebanon and the killing of Iran's then-Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in a US-Israeli strike. In response, Israel launched a military campaign against Lebanon, conducting airstrikes on Beirut's southern suburbs and areas in the south and east of the country, followed by a limited ground incursion into southern Lebanon.

Lebanon's Health Minister Rakan Nasser El Din reported that the attacks had resulted in 687 deaths, including 98 children, and 1,774 injuries.
