Hezbollah’s Initial Retaliation to Al-Mayadeen Crew Attack: Israeli Military Intelligence Force Targeted

In an initial and swift response to the targeted attacks on journalists from Al-Mayadeen channel and the consequent loss of martyrs, including Reporter Farah Omar and Photographer Rabei’ Al-Maamari, the Islamic Resistance took decisive action on Tuesday, 21-11-2023.

The resistance fighters targeted a force affiliated with Israeli military intelligence, identified as the ‘Military Assembly,’ situated in a house on the outskirts of Al-Manara settlement.

Executing the operation with precision, two guided missiles were deployed, leading to casualties among its members.

The retaliation underscores the resilience and solidarity of the Islamic Resistance with the brave Palestinian people in Gaza, emphasizing that victory is sought through steadfastness against oppression.

Earlier in the day, Hezbollah Media Relations issued a statement vehemently condemning the heinous crime, extending deepest condolences to colleagues at Al-Mayadeen Channel and the families of the two martyrs, and asserting that such aggression and the accompanying martyrdom of fellow citizens will not go unanswered.

“We assert that this aggression and the accompanying martyrdom of fellow citizens will not go unanswered from the Mujahideen of the Islamic Resistance, who are engaging the enemy in the field with the most remarkable heroism and redemption,” Hezbollah said hours before the operation took place.

Following is the full statement:

In unwavering support of our resilient Palestinian brethren in Gaza and in solidarity with their valiant and honorable resistance, the Islamic Resistance issues this statement. Responding to the Zionist enemy’s targeted aggression against journalists at Al-Mayadeen channel, resulting in the tragic loss of martyrs Farah Omar and Rabei’ Al-Maamari, alongside other civilian casualties, the fighters of the Islamic Resistance executed an in initial targeted operation at 02:25 on Tuesday, 21-11-2023.

This operation focused on a force affiliated with Israeli military intelligence, identified as the ‘Military Assembly,’ situated in a house on the outskirts of Al-Manara settlement. Two precision-guided missiles were deployed, resulting in casualties among its members.

Retaliatory Actions Follow Enemy Attacks

In a series of calculated maneuvers earlier in the day, the Islamic Resistance fighters executed targeted operations against key locations controlled by the Israeli enemy forces on Tuesday, 11/21/2023.

At 6:40 a.m., the resistance fighters struck a house in the Metula settlement where Israeli soldiers were stationed, using appropriate weaponry that resulted in a direct hit.

This was followed by another operation at 9:50 a.m., when the Mujahideen targeted the Hadab Al-Bustan site, achieving direct hits with precise weaponry.

The resilience of the Islamic Resistance was further demonstrated at 11:45 p.m. when the Raheb site was targeted, once again yielding direct hits with suitable weaponry.

Israeli Attacks Leave Tragic Toll

Amidst the ongoing assault on border villages in the south, Al-Mayadeen Channel mourned the loss of correspondents Farah Omar and photographer Rabih Al-Me’mari, martyred in a treacherous Zionist attack at the Al-Jebain-Tayr Harfa junction in southern Lebanon.

Tragedy struck the town of Kfar Kila as an enemy Israeli shell targeted the home of 80-year-old citizen Laeka Sarhan, resulting in her martyrdom and the injury of her granddaughter, Alaa Al-Qasim. Despite the devastation, a number of Sarhan’s children and grandchildren, who were present in the house during the enemy bombing in Kfar Kila, managed to survive.

Al-Manar’s correspondent provided a grim account of the areas subjected to Zionist attacks since the morning, including air strikes in Kfarshouba Heights, Aita Al-Shaab, and Al-Jebeen, as well as artillery bombardment in Tair Harfa, Naqoura, Aita Al-Shaab, Yaroun, Rub Thlathin, Odeisseh, Kfar Kila, and Al-Khiyam.
