The resistance marked an extraordinary day in its operations, achieving three significant accomplishments in a single day. Its missiles stretched from the Golan Heights to the Mediterranean Sea, from south of Haifa to Metula. Haifa’s Kiryat district and its bay were particularly struck by missiles that ignited fires, destroyed facilities, and caused numerous injuries. It is estimated that more than 300 rockets were launched yesterday from locations undetectable by the occupying forces’ aircraft, with heavy bombardment failing to halt the barrage.

Meanwhile, on the border battlefronts, hundreds of Israeli officers and soldiers attempted advances from several positions along the front line. The most significant clashes occurred in Aita al-Shaab in the western sector, Marun al-Ras in the central sector, and Mays al-Jabal and Blida in the eastern sector. From midnight the night before until midnight yesterday, the resistance repelled all repeated attempts to breach the same axes, destroying more than ten tanks and military vehicles, and killing or wounding nearly 100 soldiers.

However, the most striking blow, elevating yesterday’s events to an exceptional level, was a drone strike on the dining hall of the Binyamina base southeast of Haifa during dinner. Senior officers, including a key military figure and officers from the Golani Brigade, which uses the base as a rear headquarters for command and specialised training operations, were present. The attack resulted in another 100 casualties, both dead and wounded.

Yesterday, the resistance reaffirmed Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah’s assertion that “Israel is weaker than a spider’s web”. With the battle cry “At Your Service, O’ Nasrallah”, it defended the borders, launched missiles, and conducted drone strikes, telling its leader that it is upholding and restoring the equation the occupying entity sought to erase. The entity, backed by American resources and technologies, tried to project weakness onto the resistance, attempting to prove that it, not Israel, was as fragile as a spider’s web. Yet, the resistance responded yesterday, declaring to its leader that the force he founded, nurtured, and trusted has returned stronger and fiercer. It is not fragile in the least; rather, the boasting entity, drunk on its so-called victories and arrogant power, is reminded that despite all it has done, it remains weaker than a spider’s web.
