BEIRUT, Aug 11 (NNN-NNA) – Hezbollah, yesterday, attacked a Zionist base, located south-west of Safed city, in northern Israel, with successive swarms of suicide drones, causing injuries among its members.
“Yesterday, the Islamic Resistance fighters launched an air attack with swarms of suicide drones, on the Michve Allon base,” Hezbollah said in a statement.
“This base includes a gathering of forces and emergency warehouses for the Northern Corps, located south-west of Safed, so it targeted the locations of its officers and soldiers, and directly hit them, causing confirmed injuries,” it said, noting that, the attack was a response to the assassination of a Hamas official in a raid in the southern Lebanese city of Sidon on Friday.
