Hezbollah’s Islamic Resistance in Lebanon unleashed on Saturday a relentless and meticulously coordinated wave of strikes across the occupied territories under “Operation Eaten Straw,” demonstrating unprecedented precision and operational intensity.
Using advanced missiles and squadrons of combat drones, the attacks systematically targeted Israeli military sites, strategic installations, and troop gatherings, delivering immediate and calculated retaliation for aggression against Lebanese cities, including Beirut’s southern suburb (Dahiyeh).
The group’s military media issued consecutive statements detailing the attacks and their outcomes.
In its first statement, the Islamic Resistance highlighted that after monitoring the movements of an Israeli occupation force near Baydar Al-Faqa’ani in the town of Taybeh, advancing toward the Litani River in the Baydar Al-Nahr area, its fighters lured the unit into a well-prepared ambush at 00:30 AM on Saturday, March 28, 2026. The force was subsequently targeted with rockets, artillery shells, and attack drones, turning the area into what was described as a “killing field” and resulting in heavy casualties.
According to the statement, Israeli occupation forces were attempting to evacuate the dead and wounded under intense fire and smoke cover, with helicopters deployed in the Baydar Al-Faqa’ani area, while clashes remained ongoing at the time of release.
According to the second statement, at 02:30 AM on Saturday, Hezbollah fighters targeted two Merkava tanks near the reservoir in the town of Al-Qantara with guided missiles, scoring direct hits.
Simultaneously, at 04:00 AM, Hezbollah fighters targeted an enemy artillery position in Za’ura and the Mishar base, which is the main intelligence headquarters for the Northern District, northeast of the occupied city of Safed, with rocket barrages, according to the group’s third and fourth statements.
According to Statements 5 and 6, and as part of warnings issued to several settlements in northern occupied Palestine, Islamic Resistance fighters targeted the settlement of Al-Malkiyeh with a rocket barrage at 05:00 AM, followed by a strike on the settlement of Avivim at 05:15 AM.
Also between 04:00 and 04:15 AM, Hezbollah fighters targeted gatherings of Israeli occupation army soldiers and vehicles with rocket barrages near the pond in the town of Debel and at the Wadi Al-Uyun–Rshaf triangle, as per the group’s seventh and eighth statements.
Statements 9 to 11 reported that between 07:00 and 07:45, after identifying an Israeli occupation force inside a house in the town of Debel, Hezbollah fighters targeted it with a drone; they also struck a Merkava tank in the same town with a drone, achieving a confirmed hit, and engaged an RC-12 manned reconnaissance aircraft over the Western Bekaa Valley, forcing it to withdraw.
According to Statement 12, Hezbollah fighters targeted the Ya’ra barracks at 06:20 AM with a squadron of attack drones.
According to Statement 13, at 07:00 AM, Hezbollah fighters targeted the Israeli army’s Dado Base, which is the Northern Command headquarters north of the city of Safed, with a rocket barrage.
