In support of the Palestinian people and the resistance in Gaza, and in light of Israel’s 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 Israeli 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 an IOF drone of the same type on April 6, 2024.
Hezbollah military media released a series of statements outlining the conducted attacks and their outcomes:
First Statement
The initial statement stated that at 7:45 a.m. on Saturday, June 1, 2024, the Islamic Resistance fighters targeted the Al-Baghdadi Israeli occupation site with missile weaponry, achieving direct hits.
Second Statement
In response to the brutal Zionist assault on a motorcycle in the southern Lebanese town of Majdal Selm, Hezbollah’s fighters launched an airstrike with explosive-laden drones on the newly established site of the armored faction north of Yiftah Barracks. The attack specifically targeted the positions of the enemy’s officers and soldiers, resulting in confirmed casualties among them.
Third Statement
Hezbollah’s third statement revealed that the fighters targeted a building in the Shomera settlement where IOF soldiers were stationed, using missile weapons.
Fourth Statement
As per the fourth statement, the fighters of the Islamic Resistance targeted a building in the Netu’a settlement with missiles, where IOF soldiers were stationed.
Fifth Statement: ‘Kiryat Shmona’ Under Attack
In retaliation for Israeli assaults on southern villages, particularly in Ain Qana, the fighters of the Islamic Resistance targeted the headquarters of the 769th Brigade at the Kiryat Shmona barracks with heavy “Burkan” missiles. The missiles directly hit the headquarters directly, causing a fire to break out and destroying a part of it.
