Lebanon's Hezbollah military-political organization has shared surveillance images taken by drones it claims are flying over parts of Israel's northern coast. The 9-minute video made by Hezbollah has spread widely on social networks.
Ednews reports citing "The Jerusalem Post" that newspaper wrote in accordance that Hezbollah emphasized that there is more than this drone footage and said that other videos could also be shared on social networks.
Hezbollah said there are more videos from the same drones, and it was hinted that they could also be released.
The drone footage has raised eyebrows in the region. Al Mayadeen, a pro-Iranian news channel based in Beirut, and UAE-based Al Ain news site had reports about it. The footage is an example of how Hezbollah is showcasing its increased capabilities during this war.
It is not the first time Hezbollah’s drones have penetrated Israeli airspace or that the terrorist organization has made public various types of footage of Israel. Hezbollah prides itself on this kind of information warfare. It has hinted that this is just the tip of the iceberg of what it can accomplish.
For Israel, this is a challenge because it is used to being the hi-tech superpower in the region, and it prides itself on being able to use drones and other means of surveillance against enemies near and far. What Hezbollah is saying is that it can accomplish this as well.
For a terrorist group that has turned into a modern and sophisticated terrorist army in the last decade, it is clear that Hezbollah’s drones are giving it many capabilities that it did not possess in the past.
The drone footage shows many “sensitive” sites in northern Israel, mostly along the coastline from Haifa toward the Lebanese border, Al Mayadeen reported.
The report said the drone focused on the Rafael Military Industries Complex, which is part of Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, one of three major Israeli defense companies.
Regarding the same videos, Al Ain reported: “Yesterday, Tuesday, Hezbollah published drone footage of the Israeli port of Haifa, located 17 miles from the Lebanese border, in an apparent attempt to demonstrate its ability to penetrate Israeli air defenses and reach deep into the country.”
