Hezbollah hits 'main' Israeli base near Tiberias in response to latest assassination

Since the morning, Hezbollah has launched dozens of rockets and drones targeting Israeli bases and sites in the lower and Eastern Galilee, including the 'Nimra' military base west of Tiberias. This comes in response to yesterday's assassination of a senior Hezbollah engineer in northeastern Lebanon.

Among the targets was the Nimra base west of the city of Tiberias, marking one of Hezbollah’s deepest strikes into Israeli territory.

“In support of our steadfast Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and in support of their brave and honorable resistance, and in response to the attack and assassination carried out by the Israeli enemy in the Bekaa region, the Mujahideen of the Islamic Resistance bombed on Sunday 07-07-2024 the Nimra Base (one of the main bases in the northern region) west of Tiberias, with dozens of Katyusha rockets,” it said in a statement. 

According to Israeli media, at least one settler was severely injured in the attacks. 

Separately, the Lebanese resistance targeted the spy equipment at the Al-Raheb site earlier on Sunday morning. 

Al-Mayadeen’s correspondent reported on Saturday evening that a car was hit by an Israeli airstrike on the Baalbek – Al-Qaa highway in northeast Lebanon. Israeli army radio reported the killing of a member of the resistance’s group’s engineering unit. 

Hezbollah announced later that night that Maytham Mustafa al-Attar “rose as a martyr on the road to Jerusalem.”
