In support of the Palestinian people and the resistance in Gaza, and in light of the occupations aggression against various southern Lebanese towns, Hezbollah’s Islamic Resistance continued to strike Zionist occupation sites near the Lebanese border with occupied Palestine on Saturday, June 1, 2024, inflicting massive losses.
Today’s operations demonstrated the group’s relentless efforts to exhaust the occupation forces on multiple fronts with exceptional precision. The group successfully launched several explosive-laden UAVs, struck `Kiryat Shmona` settlement with Burkan heavy missiles, and most significantly downed a Hermes 900 drone. Notably, Hezbollah had previously downed a drone of the same type on April 6, 2024.

The video footage uses a thermal camera to show the moment the resistance began monitoring the Hermes 900 drone and the exact moment a missile targeted the drone before it burned and crashed in Lebanese territory.
The military media video included scenes captured by the cameras of Lebanese citizens in the southern regions, where the drone appeared clearly in the air as it was hit before it fell.
The scenes also showed the wreckage of the drone after it was seized.

The Yemeni Armed Forces announced that their missile force, drone force, and naval forces have carried out six military operations.
The spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, stated that the first operation targeted the US aircraft carrier USS Eisenhower in the northern Red Sea using several missiles and drones.
He mentioned that this was the second attack against the carrier within 24 hours.

Saree added that the third operation targeted the ALORAIQ ship in the Indian Ocean, while the fourth operation targeted the ABLIANI ship in the Red Sea.
He emphasized that the operations “achieved their goals successfully, with accurate and direct hits,” stressing that the Yemeni Armed Forces “will continue to carry out their military operations in support of the oppressed Palestinian people and in response to the American and British aggression on our country.”
Iraqi Resistance targets occupation
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq announced that early this morning, it targeted a vital objective in Eilat [Umm al-Rashrash] using drones.
Previously, on Tuesday, the Resistance also reported targeting a vital target in Eilat. At that time, they clarified that the operation was carried out using drones, emphasizing that it was in support of the Gaza Strip and in response to the massacres committed by the occupation against Palestinians. They vowed to continue “striking the enemies’ strongholds.”
The week before, the Resistance in Iraq announced targeting the port of Haifa, deep within the occupied Palestinian territories, using drones.
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq launched multiple operations, targeting vital sites, during a period extending from Thursday dawn to Friday, May 24, dawn.
In their latest operation, Iraqi Resistance fighters launched a suicide drone toward the Zionist-occupied Haifa Port, an essential site that oversees the majority of the occupation’s trade.
A statement, published by the Resistance’s Military Media Unit, explained that the operation comes in line with the collective’s second phase operations, which seeks to hinder the passage of goods to the regime.
Earlier on Thursday dawn, the Resistance launched a drone toward occupied Umm al-Rashrash [Eilat], the southernmost town of occupied Palestine.
Moreover, the Resistance announced, shortly after, that its fighters launched two al-Arqab cruise missiles toward vital sites near the Haifa Port. In the context of the Iraqi Resistance’s continued support to the oppressed Palestinian people, fighters targeted a military site in the occupied Golan Heights, utilizing a suicide drone to do so.
Later, the Resistance launched a couple of suicide drones toward another vital site in Umm al-Rashrash [Eilat].
The Iraqi Resistance’s attacks on occupation sites have increased in frequency in the past few weeks, in concurrence with the invasion of Rafah.
