The Prime Minister of the occupying entity, Benjamin Netanyahu, waited for U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken to arrive, intending to finalise the details of an upcoming attack on Iran. According to Channel 12, the operational plans are complete. To justify seeking the highest level of military aggression, Netanyahu blamed Iran for the drone strike on his home in Caesarea, near Tel Aviv – an operation claimed yesterday by Hezbollah’s media relations officer, Mohammad Afif.

Sources close to the deteriorating political and military situation of the occupation’s army on the Lebanese front describe a difficult scene. Politically and diplomatically, there’s a steadfast defence prioritising a ceasefire and the implementation of Resolution 1701. On the military front, the occupying army faces mounting losses without any breakthroughs on the southern border, while Hezbollah’s rockets and drones have become a genuine source of anxiety and a persistent headache for the entity’s political and military leadership.

Last night, the occupying army was left searching for a drone sent by Hezbollah, lost to their radars for hours. The drone that struck Netanyahu’s home resurfaced in media discussions, described as a “quake,” illustrating two glaring failures: first, the complete breakdown of the air defences, which neither detected nor intercepted the drone, and second, Hezbollah’s precision in identifying and targeting sensitive locations with advanced technology. Faced with its inability to make ground advances or stop missile and drone strikes, the entity resorts to indiscriminate destruction, particularly in the southern suburbs of Beirut, under the fabricated pretext of targeting “Hezbollah assets.”

During a press conference in the southern suburbs, Mohammad Afif stated, “The great resistance is strong. Our command and control systems are operating at their highest efficiency, with synchronised operations across weaponry, ranges, and types. Military and logistical support lines are fully restored, and we have more than enough capable fighters for the frontlines and battlefield manoeuvres”. He noted, “The daily average of offensive and defensive operations is steadily increasing, with about 25 operations daily. However, we count the bombardment of Kiryat Shmona with dozens of rockets as a single operation, and similarly, the drone or missile strikes on Tel Aviv are also counted as a single operation in our numerical calculations”.

Afif further added, “The enemy has suffered significant losses in lives and tanks, particularly in the battles at Ramia, Al-Qouzah, Aita al-Shaab, and Al-Taybeh. Their limited admissions, despite heavy censorship, reveal only a fraction of the battlefield achievements. We continue to strike enemy bases, barracks, camps, and troop gatherings, while their response is to kill civilians. The bombardment of northern and central occupied Palestine will intensify both in quality and quantity over time. We fully claim responsibility for the Caesarea operation and the targeting of the war criminal and leader of Zionist fascism, Netanyahu”.

Afif concluded by addressing Netanyahu directly: “The eyes of the resistance fighters see, and their ears hear. If our hands didn’t reach you this time, there are still days, nights, and the battlefield between us”.
