Hezbollah announced on 13 November it had successfully targeted the Israeli
military’s Kirya base in Tel Aviv, home to the Defense Ministry, General
Staff, War Room, and Air Force Command and Control Center, twice in the
same day.

“The Islamic Resistance launched, for the first time, an aerial operation
with a squadron of qualitative assault drones targeting the Kirya Base … in
Tel Aviv, hitting their targets precisely at 3:30 pm on Wednesday,” a
statement from Hezbollah said.

Israeli media denied the report, claiming,

“There is currently no indication that any drones reached central Israel or
came near army headquarters.”

The Islamic resistance movement later issued a second statement saying that
it struck the Kirya base a second time, at 6:15 pm, with Qader 2 ballistic
missiles, which hit “their targets precisely.”

Hezbollah also announced the targeting Wednesday of the Glilot Base, the
headquarters of the Military Intelligence Unit 8200, in the suburbs of Tel
Aviv, with a qualitative missile barrage.

The Islamic resistance movement successfully targeted

the Glilot Base base two weeks ago, on 2 November.

A squadron of Hezbollah attack drones Hezbollah also targeted Israel’s Amos
base on Wednesday. The base is an important transport and technology
readiness hub for Israel’s northern region, located 55 km from the
Lebanese-Israel border.

Almost two months after the start of Israel’s massive bombing campaign
targeting Lebanon, Hezbollah remains capable of striking military targets
deep with Israel while repelling the ongoing Israeli ground invasion of the
country.

Israeli forces have been able to destroy many Lebanese villages near the
Israeli border area but have not been able to breach Hezbollah’s first line
of defenses, while taking heavy casualties.

Earlier Wednesday, Hebrew media outlets reported

a “very difficult incident” in which several Israeli troops were killed in
southern Lebanon, coming as Tel Aviv has recently announced an expansion of
its ground operation in the country.

According <https://t.me/thecradlemedia/24127> to Sky News Arabia, nine
Israeli soldiers were killed in a booby-trapped building in south Lebanon,
and others were wounded. The soldiers were in the building when the
explosives were detonated.

On Tuesday, the Israeli army announced it had begun the second phase of its
ground operation in southern Lebanon in an effort to advance toward
Hezbollah’s second line of defense.

“The Israeli army has initiated the second phase of the ground maneuver in
southern Lebanon, with the 36th Division advancing toward Hezbollah’s
second defensive line,” Israeli newspaper* Maariv* reported.

In response, Hezbollah announced

that the Israeli army’s decision “will only lead to disappointment, and its
inevitable harvest will be more losses and failures; ‘Our mujahideen are
waiting.'"

“The resistance has taken all measures within its defensive plans to enable
it to fight a long battle to prevent the enemy from achieving its goals,”
the Islamic resistance movement added.
