ALBAWABA- Hezbollah announced the execution of an air attack using drones on the "411 Artillery" battalion east of Nahariya. This strike was in response to an Israeli raid that targeted the entrance to a hospital in southern Lebanon.

The Lebanese Resistance stated that the Hezbollah fighters carried out a nighttime drone assault on newly established positions of the 411th Artillery Battalion. 

The attack accurately targeted areas where officers and soldiers were stationed, resulting in casualties and injuries.

Additionally, Hezbollah reported targeting the Zibdin barracks in the occupied Lebanese Shebaa Farms with missile strikes, achieving a direct hit.

Israeli media sources confirmed that Hezbollah fired more than 80 missiles toward northern towns, including anti-tank missiles that destroyed homes. Channel 12 reported that sirens were sounding in the north, indicating a significant escalation.
