Hezbollah confirmed it launched a squadron of attack drones on a training camp for the Golani Brigade in Binyamina, south of Haifa. The party stressed it will remain present and ready to defend Lebanon and deter the Zionist enemy.
The devastating attack Sunday night, whick killed three soldiers and injured 67 while nine are in a critical condition, is being widely covered on the social media. Initially the social media reported Israeli Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi was killed in the attack but this was quickly denied as false rumor.
The attack on the military base is being described as the biggest since the 7 October, 2023 attacks in which 1200 Israelis were killed. A rocket landed on a dining room when it was packed with soldiers while there was no sirens heard beforehand with the Israeli authorities later saying they are opening up an investigation of what went wrong.
This was described as a double attack with drones and missiles launched by Hezbollah with mass thuds heard as drones arrived and exploded at the Binyamina military base, south of Haifa that has been subject to daily attacks for at least the last two weeks.
A leading source in Hezbollah confirmed the latest strikes shows the capabilities of the resistance are still strong, intact and capable of reaching the Israeli depth regardless of the relentless Israeli bombing of southern Lebanon, the southern district and even the capital, Beirut.
In addition, Hezbollah said that after closely monitoring a secret attempt by the Israeli enemy forces to infiltrate the outskirts of the town of Mays al-Jabal at (7:30) in the evening of Sunday 13-10-2024, its fighters ambushed the forces and showered them with a barrage of rockets and machine guns.
Hezbollah pointed out that violent clashes took place with the infiltrating force from zero distance, killing and wounding its members, and the enemy force withdrew amid the screams and wails of the attacking soldiers.

A year after the Israeli aggression in the Gaza Strip and the war’s spread to Lebanon, Israeli politicians must now be involved in a real soul-searching process and study the course of this war on all fronts so may may see whether Israel succeeds in changing the strategic reality in the region or is begining the process of drowning in the mud on all fronts.
According to the Maariv newspaper, Israel is not built for long wars and/or wars of attrition. The Israeli economy relies on human capital and therefore long wars could lead to the collapse of the economy.
To this day, the newspaper says, “three army divisions are conducting maneuvers in the Strip. But so far no combat goal has been achieved in Gaza.
“The Southern Command has not presented an exit plan, the Israeli army has not yet achieved most of the war’s goals: It has not released the 101 remaining hostages, it has not eliminated Yahya Sinwar, and has not been able to dissolve Hamas. It seems that day-after-day we will drown in the Gaza mud,” it said.
The Israeli army is relying on evacuating border villages. In general, the army has taken control of most of the line north of the border fence, but plans for the future are unclear.
For its part, Hezbollah has announced that it intends to operate in a guerrilla style to: Take advantage of the fact that Israel is not interested in a war of attrition.
In the West Bank, the newspaper says, the army is operating in Nablus, Jenin and Tulkarm. It is trying, in cooperation with the Shin Bet, to maintain a level of attack and operations in a way that does not turn the West Bank into another strong front.
In Iran, the Israeli government has not decided what it wants to do. Israel is obligated to attack forcefully after the Iranian attack two weeks ago, but the Iranian issue is complicated.
This is also due to the international community led by the United States, and countries in the Middle East warning of the repercussions of any Israeli response on the economy and oil and gas prices, the expected damage from Iran to the assets of the United States or moderate countries, and its impact on the elections in the USA.
All of these are part of the considerations that the Israeli government must make in order to evaluate what is happening on all fronts, because the future has become unanswerable.
