Today was an example of the massive reach of Hezbollah, which managed to hit many sensitive military targets inside Israel.
Shortly after the Lebanese group Hezbollah officially declared that it had carried out the drone attack that struck Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s house in Caesarea on Sunday, Abu Obeida issued a statement.
The military spokesman for the Al-Qassam Brigades said in a message from Gaza that by targeting “the residence of the war criminal Netanyahu”, Hezbollah would send “a message to the criminal leaders of the occupation” that “they will not escape the just retribution of the free and resistant people of the nation”.
Abu Obeida also said that the “martyrdom of the leaders of the resistance will not weaken it, but will increase its escalation and determination to hurt the enemy.”

Though Israel has succeeded in assassinating top leaders in Hezbollah, and Hamas’ leader in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar, was killed on the frontlines, resistance in both Lebanon and Gaza continues to grow stronger.
Today was an example of the massive reach of Hezbollah, which managed to hit many sensitive military targets inside Israel.
Meanwhile, Palestinian Resistance in Gaza continued to carry out ‘tight ambushes’, sniping operations, and engage in close combat with invading Israeli forces, mostly in the northern parts of the Strip.
Below are the latest statements by the two main Resistance forces in Gaza, and the Lebanese Resistance Movement Hezbollah.
The statements were communicated via their Telegram channels and are published here in their original form.
Al-Qassam Brigades (Hamas)
“After returning from the battle lines, Al-Qassam fighters reported the detonation of a television anti-personnel explosive on Sunday at 3 PM against a zionist infantry command group consisting of 12 officers, killing and wounding them in the Faluja area west of the Jabalia camp in the northern Gaza Strip. The enemy admitted, following this operation, the killing of the commander of the 401st Brigade and the serious wounding of others, including the commander of a battalion.

It’s too bad that Netanyahu’s house is still standing. It would have been better if the only thing left was a crater.
