The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah concluded Friday's attacks
against the Israeli occupation by launching its 1,000th operation in
support of the Palestinian people and their Resistance.

Footage released on Saturday morning revealed more information on
Hezbollah's eighth operation on February 9, 2024, in which the group's
Military Media explained that Resistance fighters launched "Katyusha"
rocket-artillery shells at the "Kela" Barracks in the Israeli-occupied
Syrian Golan.

The video, titled "Operation number 1000 for the Islamic Resistance in
Lebanon against the Israeli enemy in support of the Palestinian people and
their steadfast Resistance in the Battel of Al-Aqsa Flood," shows the
moment Hezbollah fighters loaded a multiple rocket launcher (MRL) with
multiple shells, in preparation for the operation.

The video shows 30 rockets launched toward their intended target, in what
Israeli media described as the largest rocket barrage since the 2006 war on
Lebanon.

On Friday, Hezbollah said it launched the attack at the "Kela" Base at
exactly 5:50 pm (local time), using dozens of "Katyusha" rockets. Hezbollah
has improved on the Soviet-developed weapons system, where one system can
carry at least 30 rockets as shown in the video.

What is the Israeli "Kela" Base?

The Israeli "Kela" Base houses barracks and a training camp for Israeli
occupation soldiers. The 91st Division of the IOF commands the base, which
is equipped with several anti-air systems deployed to protect occupation
troops at the base or who are conducting training exercises.

The base is located around 16 km away from the closest liberated Lebanese
point from the east and 14 km away from the closest liberated Lebanese
point from the north.

Yesterday's attack marked the first Hezbollah attack on the base since the
group launched its military campaign in support of Palestine on October 8.

Several rockets were seen impacting the site in a video circulated on
social media, as Israeli occupation anti-air systems launched multiple
interceptors that failed to thwart the barrage. One rocket seems to fall in
extremely close proximity to an anti-air missile launcher

positioned at the base.

Hezbollah destroys Israeli Merkava tank

Among the eight other operations launched by the Resistance on Friday was
an anti-tank guided missile attack that targeted an Israeli Merkava tank,
seemingly parked at al-Baghdadi military site in al-Jalil Panhandle,
opposite the Lebanese town of Mays al-Jabal.

The newly released video highlights the process of a precise anti-tank
guided missile (ATGM) attack that targeted a Merkava tank
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/hezbollah-targets-a--merkava--tank-with-a-special-guided-mis>,
seemingly parked at the Israeli al-Baghdadi military site. The footage
recorded by a Television camera installed on the ATGM showcases the
operator and system's precision in aiming, targeting, and executing the
destruction of the military target.

This type of guidance system has been used in at least two other operations
conducted by the Resistance since January 2024. Previously, the Resistance
used the guidance system to target Israeli spyware and hardware in two
sites.

Dated to February 9, 2024, the footage corresponds to an announcement made
by the Islamic Resistance's military media, in which it was revealed that
Hezbollah fighters targeted and destroyed an Israeli Merkava tank in
al-Baghdadi military site.

The footage is provided in the video below.
