Hezbollah has been firing heavy rockets at Israeli military sites and flying reconnaissance drones over northern Israel, the group’s Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah revealed during a televised speech on November 11.
The speech, which was meant to commemorate Hezbollah’s Martyr’s Day, was the second by Nasrallah since clashes started on the Lebanese-Israeli border after the war in the Gaza Strip broke out.
“Last week saw an improvement in operations, both quantitatively and qualitatively. For instance, we deployed the Burkan [Volcano] missile carrying a payload between 300 kilograms and 500 kilograms. Imagine half a ton of explosives falling on the enemy’s head,” Nasrallah said. “We also improved in terms of depth of reach, deploying drones and Katyusha rockets.”
According to Nasrallah, “there are other operations that we have not revealed, such as surveillance drones into occupied Palestine, especially over Haifa.”
“Some of these drones return with images, others do not, but they exhaust the Iron Dome and Patriot missiles of the enemy,” the leader said.
