TEHRAN — More explosions rock the Israeli occupied city of Haifa following a new round of retaliatory missile attacks by Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement.
In a statement, Hezbollah said its fighters launched a qualitative rocket barrage on the Zionist regime’s Rehabilitation and Maintenance Center, south of Haifa on Sunday night.
Zionist sources reported that several explosions were heard in Haifa, prompting sirens to go off in the city’s port of Haifa and the fleeing of the settlers to bunkers.
The Israeli army also announced that its air defense systems have been activated and are trying to intercept Hezbollah missiles.
Zionist sources also reported that at least 5 rockets were fired from southern Lebanon to the port of Haifa.
The retaliatory operation by Hezbollah comes hours after the resistance group successfully launched a drone attack on the military base of the Zionist regime (Golani Brigade camp), south of Haifa that according to the Israeli military left at least 4 soldiers dead and some 110 others injured.
Earlier, the Zionist Army Radio, citing a military source, described the drone attack as the deadliest operation against the military since the beginning of the war. It said that due to the severity of injuries caused by the attack, there is a possibility that the number of casualties will increase at any moment.
Hezbollah has repeatedly announced that its operations against the occupying Zionist regime are in support Palestinians in Gaza and their resistance and in defense of Lebanon.
