Report: 6 Hezbollah drones hit target in Glilot last Sunday successfully
Hezbollah's retaliation to the killing of one of its top commanders Fouad Shukur was successful, sources told pro-Hezbollah al-Mayadeen news channel and al-Akhbar newspaper.
The sources told al-Mayadeen, in remarks published late Thursday, that Hezbollah has succeeded in the targeting of an intelligence base just outside Tel Aviv last Sunday.
At least six drones launched by Hezbollah reached their target in Glilot near Tel Aviv, around 110 kilometers from Lebanon's border, al-Mayadeen and al-Akhbar said, based on information they received from "trusted sources inside occupied Palestine".
Hezbollah had claimed an attack on Israel that targeted on Sunday morning the Glilot intelligence base and an air defense base in the heart of Israel.
Israel said its intelligence base wasn’t hit and that an initial assessment showed "very little damage" in Israel.
Al-Mayadeen and al-Akhbar said that, according to the sources, authorities in Israel prevented civilians and journalists from reaching the area, enforcing a media blackout.
Hezbollah had called the attack an initial response to the targeted killing of Shukur in Beirut last month. Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said the group would "reserve the right to respond at a later time" if the results of Sunday’s attack aren’t sufficient.
