MIDDLEEAST TYCOON NEWS DESK:Hezbollah announced that it had launched a swarm of attack drones targeting Israel’s Bilu military base south of Tel Aviv on Wednesday evening, marking the first such operation by the group. In a statement, Hezbollah claimed that a “squadron of attack drones” had been sent to strike the base as Israel intensified air strikes on Beirut’s southern suburbs.
In addition to the Bilu base strike, Hezbollah claimed responsibility for a series of other attacks, including targeting two naval bases near Haifa and a military base close to Israel’s main international airport near Tel Aviv. However, the Israel Airports Authority confirmed that operations at the airport remained unaffected, and there were no immediate reports from Israeli authorities on casualties or structural damage resulting from the drone attacks.
The exchange of hostilities comes amid escalating violence, with both sides intensifying their operations across the region.
