Hezbollah’s Unmanned Air Force claimed several targets on Monday, marking one of the most intense use of attack drones by the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon during the Battle of Al-Aqsa Flood.
To initiate Monday’s operations in support of Palestine, Hezbollah fighters attacked a military vehicle in Mount Adather to the west of Kibbutz Sasa, causing casualties among its crewmembers.
The attack was conducted via an anti-tank guided missile and came after precise monitoring of the vehicle’s movements by Hezbollah fighters. According to the military media, the attack destroyed the vehicle and set it ablaze, killing and injuring its crew.
Later in the afternoon, at 1:35 pm (local time), Hezbollah fighters targeted a grouping of occupation troops near the Ramyah military site. The attack was conducted via unspecified “rocket weapons” and dealt direct hits to the targets.
Hezbollah’s artillery units also targeted Zionist spyware and reconnaissance equipment in the Malikyah military sites.
The Resistance also launched dozens of Grad-type rockets at the positions of artillery units in al-Zaoura.
A fire is also raging in al-Jalil Panhandle, spreading to the largest settlement in the area, Kiryat Shmona.
Zionist media outlets reported that residents in Kiryat Shmona were evacuated after the fires spread due to missile launches from Lebanon. Reports added that dozens of fire brigades have been working for more than 6 hours in an attempt to control the fires in the Upper al-Jalil.
Kiryat Shmona Municipality says the fire was spreading toward residences, and initially asked residents who remain in the city to stay in their homes and close the windows.
The Zionist news website Ynet reported on the unfolding events that have forced authorities to evacuate to settlements in al-Jalil Pandhanle, including the largest settlement in the area, Kiryat Shmona.
Residents in the settlement and Margaliot were told to evacuate as the uncontrollable blazes rapidly spread across the wilderness. Local authorities in Kiryat Shmona are visiting settlers “house-by-house” ordering occupiers to evacuate.
At around 8:00 pm (local time) authorities informed the media outlets that the fire had spread to the northern part of the occupation city of Kiryat Shmona, while fire crews and settlers fought the high flames encircling the settlement.
In the occupied Golan and al-Jalil, 15 fire hotspots have been reported, as enduring blazes spurred by particularly high temperatures continue to plague colonial outposts.
In Ami’ad to the south of Safad, a fire also erupted near a mine.
As a result of the raging fires, authorities blocked the main road linking the north to the rest of the Israeli-occupied territories.
Fires were also recorded in Metulla, Kfar Giladi, Keren Naftali, Elifelt, Mavo Hama, Netor, Tel Saki, and Shlomi in Western al-Jalil. In Kfar Giladi, a member of the local council complained about the situation, saying “We are here alone, the fire has taken hold of the kibbutz’s avocado orchard and is threatening to burn down the hotel.”
Hezbollah’s suicide drones plague Zionist commanders
Concerning the attacks by Hezbollah’s Unmanned Air Force, the force launched three operations on Monday afternoon, utilizing several suicide drones on three distinct targets.
In the first attack, Hezbollah fighters launched a swarm of suicide drones toward the recently set up command and control post for the 91st Division’s 769th Territorial Brigade “Hiram”, which commands ground operations on the eastern section of the northern front.
The command post has been relocated to Nahal Gershom, east of Dishon, after the main command and logistics posts in Kiryat Shoman and Beit Hillel, respectively, came under several direct attacks that severely damaged the sites. The newly set up post is around 15 km south of Camp Gibor, Hiram’s administrative base, and around 6.5 km away from the Zionist line of withdrawal from South Lebanon. It is worth noting the post is now located in a relatively desolate area.
The drones launched by Hezbollah impacted in a “precise” fashion Zionist officers and soldiers positioned in a building, setting it ablaze and killing several occupation troops.
Hezbollah’s Unammed Air Force also launched a suicide drone at the military tent in the Metulla military site, dealing a direct hit to the intended target.
On the Mediterranean coast, the Resistance launched several suicide drones toward targets located to the south of Liman in occupied Palestine. The drones bypassed the Iron Dome systems, which launched several interceptors in an attempt to down them and failed, impacting their targets.
The interception attempt resulted in several anti-air missiles falling in Nahariyah, causing material damage.
Fires continued to rage on in several sites across occupied northern territories following the confrontations.

Immediately after the force entered the house and searched one of the rooms, the bomb that the Resistance had planted exploded, leaving the entire force killed and wounded.
Moreover, the Brigades fighters managed to engage a force entrenched inside a house with an anti-personnel shell, resulting in casualties among the force, with one killed and another injured, in the vicinity of the university located in the southern part of the Sabra neighborhood in Gaza City.
