Three Israelis Dead, 67 Injured in Hezbollah Attack on Base Near Haifa

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.
