ALBAWABA - Hezbollah has escalated its strikes recently, launching drone attacks against the Israeli artillery brigade headquarters in Ja'atun, which is the newly created location.

There have been reports of direct impacts, which has raised tensions in the area. Hertzi Halevi, the Israeli Chief of Staff, has threatened Hezbollah with "strong responses" and given dire warnings.

Confirmed information indicates that leaders of Hezbollah were targeted in this airstrike. The airstrikes, which occurred in Sidon, southern Lebanon, represent a significant escalation in tensions between Israel and Hezbollah. Further details are awaited as the situation unfolds.

The drone was intercepted over the Mediterranean Sea by the Israeli military and it was said to have come from southern Lebanon. Furthermore, after another drone invasion early Friday morning, there was an explosion in the Jatun district of western Galilee.

According to sources, Hezbollah has launched several drones in the direction of the Nahariya region in northern Israel's Upper Galilee. 

Hezbollah fighters announced an air attack using drones targeted industrial facilities belonging to the Israeli Ministry of War. The attack focused on the “Elbit” military industries company and the “David Cohen” factory in “Tel Hai” (north of Kiryat Shmona). The David Cohen factory specializes in producing electronic systems for the Israeli army.

According to the Hezbollah Resistance, they successfully targeted spy equipment carried on a crane in Tallet Al-Tayhat with precise weapons, resulting in its destruction.

Hezbollah Resistance in Lebanon further announced that they targeted an Israeli enemy soldiers' deployment near the Jal al-Alam site with Burkan missiles and artillery shells.

Israeli media reported sirens sounding in Dishon, Kfar Sold, Hogsharim, Lehvot Habashan, Naot Mordechai, Amir, Dafna, and Kfar Blum.
