Hezbollah carried out 63 operations in 24 hours and unveiled new attack drone capabilities.
Hezbollah forces have affirmed their readiness for a protracted war with Israel, while simultaneously deploying a series of drone attacks targeting military bases and armored vehicles.
Hezbollah has carried out a total of 63 military operations targeting Israeli positions in the past 24 hours (as of March 23). This is considered one of the largest attacks since tensions escalated again in the Lebanese border region.
Enhancing offensive capabilities with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
Wafiq Safa, head of Hezbollah's Communications and Coordination Unit, asserted that the force has prepared for a protracted war. Notably, Safa emphasized Hezbollah's acquisition of new offensive capabilities, particularly advanced attack drones.
According to a statement issued on March 23, Hezbollah affirmed that it would not cease military operations until its objectives were achieved. After the conflict ends, the group plans to request that the Lebanese government officially recognize Hezbollah's military operations as an essential part of the national security and defense system against Israel.
Details of the objectives and scale of the operation.
Hezbollah's military activities over the past 24 hours included rocket barrages, drone attacks, and direct artillery fire. Specific targets included:
- Military concentration points and troop deployment centers in the border region.
- Israeli armored vehicles and military bases.
- Strategic areas in the northern part of the territory are controlled by Israel.
Israeli media have expressed surprise at Hezbollah's military capabilities, while acknowledging that the group has inflicted significant losses on the military in the Tel Aviv area in recent days.
Context of escalating conflict
Hezbollah began intensifying its retaliatory attacks on March 2nd. This move followed continuous bombing of eastern and southern Lebanon, an action Hezbollah alleges violates the ceasefire agreement established in November 2024.
The deployment of attack drones and maintaining a frequency of 63 operations per day indicates a shift in Hezbollah's tactics, moving from defensive to precision strikes against enemy military infrastructure.
