Lebanon’s Hezbollah announced yesterday that it launched an air attack on the Haifa naval base using a squadron of kamikaze drones, confirming that the targets were hit “with precision”.

“In support of our steadfast Palestinian brothers in the Gaza Strip, in support of their valiant and honourable resistance, and in defence of Lebanon and its people, as part of the Khaybar series of operations, and in response to the attacks and massacres committed by the Israeli enemy, the Islamic Resistance launched an air attack at 4:00 pm Sunday, with a squadron of kamikaze drones on the Haifa naval base (belonging to the Israeli Navy, which includes a fleet of missile boats and submarines) in Haifa Bay, and hit its targets with precision.”

Hezbollah also announced that it targeted the Naoura base – the headquarters of the 36th Division, which includes emergency stores for the reserve brigades – with kamikaze drones, confirming that the targets were hit.
