<p>The <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/-israel--can-t-fully-destroy-hezbollah--political-deal-neede" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lebanese Resistance, Hezbollah</a>,
announced retaliation for the assassination of martyr Sheikh Saleh
al-Arouri, and his brothers, who were assassinated in Beirut, as well as
the assassination of the martyred <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/mount--meron--is-most-significant-target-of-hezbollah-operat" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hezbollah leader Wissam Tawil (Hajj Jawad)</a>.</p>
<p>In the statement announcing the operation, Hezbollah said that they
targeted the headquarters of the Northern Command of the enemy's army in
the occupied city of Safad (Dado Base) with a number of assault drones.</p>
<h2>Operation significance: "Dado" base</h2>
<p>The headquarters of the Northern Command of the Israeli Ground
Forces, or “Dado” base, is responsible for commanding the two divisions
currently concerned with operations on the Lebanese front, namely: The
91st Division (whose leadership was targeted by the Resistance in
previous operations) opposite the eastern axis, and the 146th Division
opposite the western sector of the southern Lebanese border.</p>
<p>The base contains a large number of command and control systems
concerned with coordinating operations along the front with Lebanon. It
is located at a depth of 12 km from the Lebanese border. The center is
located in the occupied city of Safed, and the entire base's surrounding
is inhabited by employees of the Northern Command.</p><img src="cid:ii_lr6m3i2o2" alt="81573ab9-e60e-4f4c-af73-8fcf179687c4.jpg" width="417" height="245"><br><ul id="gmail-content-slick-1"><div aria-hidden="false"><li>

<h2>Several operations today</h2>
<p>This operation was not the first of the day, however, it was numbered second. </p>
<p>The first operation was conducted at 9:30 am (local time) where
Hezbollah targeted the Israeli-occupied al-Malikiyah site using the
appropriate weapons, with direct hits recorded</p>
<p>The third operation was conducted at 9:35 am (local time) where
Hezbollah targeted the Israeli al-Baghdadi military site using
appropriate weapons, scoring a direct hit.</p>
<p>The fourth operation was conducted at 9:40 am (local time) where
Hezbollah targeted the "Yiftah Kadesh" barracks using the appropriate
weapons, resulting in a direct hit.</p>
<p>The fifth operation was conducted at 1:00 pm (local time) where
Hezbollah targeted the "Hanita" site using appropriate weapons,
resulting in a direct hit.</p>
<p>In turn, <strong>Al Mayadeen</strong>'s correspondent in southern
Lebanon reported earlier that two rockets were launched from the
Lebanese territories; more specifically from the direction of Upper
al-Jalil.</p>
<p>This comes after <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/hezbollah-s-martyred-commander-wissam-tawil--a-legacy-of-res" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hezbollah targeted</a>
the Israeli 'Meron' Intelligence and Airforce base, on January 6, using
precision missiles and leaving the Israeli occupation forces troubled
for days.</p>
<h2>'A dramatic event...that should not be taken lightly'</h2>
<p>When commenting on the operation carried out by the Islamic
Resistance in Lebanon against the headquarters of the Northern Region
Command, the Israeli <em>Kan </em>channel confirmed that the targeting was "a dramatic event, and it should not be taken lightly."</p>
<p>Israeli media recorded the launching of more than 20 missiles from
Lebanon toward al-Jalil, noting that "Hezbollah launched a number of
drones and rockets" toward northern occupied Palestine.</p>
<p>In light of the intensity of the targeting, the occupation's <em>Army Radio</em>
reported that sirens sounded in the North 3 times, within less than an
hour, for fear of a drone infiltrating the Upper al-Jalil.</p>
<p>Sirens sounded twice in occupied Safad within minutes, while panic prevailed in the streets among the settlers.</p>
<p>Israeli media also reported rockets being launched in the direction
of "Yiftah Kadesh" barracks and "Menara", in parallel with the
infiltration of a drone.</p>
