The Military Media of the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah on
Tuesday broadcast the second episode of the Hoopoe series, featuring
high-resolution aerial reconnaissance footage of intelligence bases,
command centers, and camps belonging to the Israeli occupation forces in
the occupied Syrian Golan.

The 10-minute video showcased footage of six strategic electronic
reconnaissance sites in the occupied Syrian Golan; the western and eastern
Shlagim sites, the Astra site, the Yisraeli site, the Avital site, and the
Tel Fares site.

According to the information provided in the video, these Israeli sites are
tasked with espionage, guidance, long-range monitoring, and electronic
attacks involving jamming and deception.

Moreover, the sites contain key nodes for communications and data exchange
and house forces from the 8200 and 9900 units, as well as the electronic
warfare unit.

Additionally, the six Israeli sites include forces responsible for securing
the bases, their equipment, and the border area.

It is noteworthy that the intelligence and early warning bases filmed by
Hezbollah's Hoopoe are referred to as "the eyes of the state of Israel,"
and the footage released included multiple scans of these sites.

Additionally, the footage revealed command centers and camps belonging to
the Israeli occupation military:

   - Habushit and Ma'aleh Golan barracks, along with newly established
   points during Operation Al-Aqsa Flood
   - Yoav barracks, which includes an artillery and missile battalion
   operating on the al-Jalil and Golan fronts
   - Southern Revaya barracks, which includes the 71st Armored Battalion
   headquarters in the 188th Brigade

   - Keila camp, which includes a primary training base for regional
   command and a key facility for troops training in the Golan training camp
   - Zaura artillery position, which includes a permanent artillery battery
   site belonging to the 769th Brigade
   - Odem artillery position, which includes another permanent artillery
   battery site belonging to the 810th Brigade

   three-dimensional air radar for aerial management
   - Sha'al headquarters, the alternative command post for the 210th
   Regional Division
   - Nafah base, which serves as the headquarters for the 210th Regional
   Division and its 366th Communications Battalion
   - Southern Keila barracks
   - Yarden barracks
   - Nafah base
   - Tsnobar base
   - Katsavya barracks
   - Ofek airport

The video also showcased new points and roads for Israeli forces outside
the aforementioned sites, established during Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, along
with fortified shelters for soldiers.

Experts have previously explained to *Al Mayadeen* that the missile
illustrated next to the target card has guiding fins at its front,
symbolizing a precise missile, which is a message Hezbollah intended to
convey in the video.

Hezbollah's video concluded with the word "to be continued," followed by
additional aerial reconnaissance footage from Safed and Tabarayya, to be
featured in the next episode of the series.

This episode of the Hoopoe follows the first nine-minute-and-a-half
episode, titled "This is what the Hoopoe came back with,"
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/undetected--hezbollah-hoopoe-mission-exposes-sensitive-israe>
in which the Military Media of the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon released
footage showing its reconnaissance drones flying over swathes of occupied
Palestinian land, including Kiryat Shmona, Nahariya, Safad, Karmiel, Afula,
all the way to Haifa and its port.

The published footage included intelligence about Israeli sites
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/experts-decode-messages-in-hezbollah-s-hoopoe-mission-video>
inside occupied Palestine and clearly showed that the drone arrived at the
port of Haifa intact. Hezbollah's drones brought back footage and
information about sensitive sites they captured over Haifa starting with
the port itself to oil refineries and military factories, not to mention
the locations of military battleships and important economic hubs in the
port.

Five days later, Hezbollah released a video showing vital Israeli targets
only known to the occupation's security apparatus, suggesting that these
sites would be targeted in case of a war

against Lebanon.

The video included snippets
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/al-mayadeen-dissects-hezbollah-s-video-of-coordinates--vital>
of Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah's speech, in which
he warned the Israeli occupation that the Resistance would fight with no
restraints or limits if war were imposed on Lebanon.

"Israel" will regret waging war on Lebanon, he said.

The HaKirya complex, which includes the headquarters of the Ministry of
Security, the general staff, and many of the senior military staff leaders,
was also shown.
