A drone attack on a Zionist military base in Binyamina, south of Haifa, has killed four occupiers and wounded 67 others, according to Zionist media.
Notably, air defense systems failed to detect the drone, which detonated without triggering air raid sirens in the area, as confirmed by occupation media outlets.
‘Israeli’ media reported that 50 ambulances were dispatched to the scene where a #Hezbollah drone, flying undetected, exploded in a military base south of Haifa, after sirens failed to sound.

The strike reportedly targeted the dining hall at a base belonging to the Golani Brigade.
It was reported that 50 ambulances rushed to the scene to transport the casualties, with helicopters also being called in.
Hezbollah issued a statement in the wake of the operation, claiming responsibility for it. “The Islamic Resistance carried out an operation on the evening of Sunday, October 13, 2024, launching a squadron of attack drones at a training camp of the Golani Brigade in Binyamina, south of Haifa,” the statement read.
The Resistance said the operation was in response to the Zionist massacres across Lebanon, particularly its aggression on the Lebanese capital a few days ago.
“The Islamic Resistance will remain present and ready to defend our country and our proud, oppressed people, and will not hesitate to fulfill its duty in deterring the enemy,” it added after underlining that the operation was carried out as part of the series of Khaibar operations and in support of the people of Gaza and their resistance, as well as in defense of Lebanon and its people.
The military media wing of the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon – Hezbollah reissued a warning to settlers, reiterating a statement made days earlier by the Resistance operations room.
Hezbollah had earlier said: “The ‘Israeli’ enemy forces are using the houses of settlers in some settlements in northern occupied Palestine as assembly points.”
“The Zionist enemy’s bases used as operations rooms for the aggression on Lebanon are within densely-populated cities such as Haifa and Tabarayya, among others,” the warning added. “All the aforementioned houses and military bases are legitimate military targets for the Rocket and Air Forces of the Islamic Resistance. Therefore, we warn settlers against gathering near these military sites in order to preserve their lives until further notice.”
Hezbollah Operations Room:

We had previously warned that the persistence of the zionist enemy in assaulting our honorable people across the steadfast land of Lebanon would turn Haifa and beyond into targets for the resistance’s missiles and drones, just like “Kiryat Shmona,” “Metulla,” and other settlements along the border with Lebanon. We accompanied this warning with some of the information returned by our “Hudhud” drones about “sensitive” zionist military targets and “vital” zionist facilities in occupied Palestine, especially in the occupied city of Haifa. We also emphasized to this enemy that the Islamic Resistance sees and hears where it is least expected.
The zionist enemy wagered that the Islamic resistance would be unable to carry out its threat after it conducted vile security operations and assassinated its righteous leaders, foremost among them our most exalted and sacred martyr, the honorable Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah (May Allah sanctify his soul). The enemy ignored the warnings and continued its assaults against our honorable people, committing the most heinous massacres against women and children, especially in Beirut and the southern suburbs.
After all this, the leadership of the Islamic Resistance decided to discipline this enemy and reveal a fraction of its extensive capabilities, whenever and wherever it chooses—whether in secret or openly. The target was one of the elite “Golani” Brigade camps in “Binyamina,” south of occupied Haifa, a location unknown to many settlers.
In a complex, qualitative operation, the Islamic Resistance’s rocket force launched dozens of missiles toward various targets in the Nahariya and Akka areas to preoccupy “israel’s” air defense systems. Simultaneously, the Islamic Resistance’s air force deployed swarms of drones—some used for the first time—toward different areas in Akka and Haifa. These advanced drones penetrated the zionist air defense radars undetected and reached their target: a training camp for the elite “Golani” Brigade in “Binyamina,” south of occupied Haifa. The drones exploded inside the rooms where dozens of enemy officers and soldiers were gathered in preparation for participating in attacks against Lebanon. Among them were high-ranking officers, and the operation resulted in many killed and wounded.
The Islamic Resistance pledges to the most honorable and purest people that it will remain their protective shield and will not allow this cowardly enemy to single them out. It renews its promise to its most exalted and sacred martyr [Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah] that it will continue to defend the land of beloved Lebanon according to the operational plans he personally supervised with the martyred leaders. The resistance assures the enemy that what it witnessed today south of Haifa is only a small preview of what awaits if it continues its aggression against our proud and noble people.
