Safieddine warns Israel 'Hezbollah ready to use new weapons'
Will they be as effective as the recent salvo from Iran, an embarrassing percent of which did not make it past Iran’s borders?
[An Nahar] Head of Hezbollah's executive council, Sayyed Hashem Safieddine, warned Israel on Friday that Hezbollah is ready to use new weapons in the battlefield.

Hezbollah has regularly fired missiles across the border with Israel over the past seven months, but has on Thursday launched its first successful missile Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
from within Israeli airspace, using a drone that fired two missiles. The attack maimed three soldiers, one of them seriously, according to the Israeli military.

The group has stepped up its attacks on Israel in recent weeks, particularly since the Israeli incursion into the southern city of Rafah in the Gazoo

Strip. It has struck deeper inside Israel and introduced new and more advanced weaponry.

"The resistance on the southern border has proven that it has many options in the battlefield," Safieddine said.

Also this week, Hezbollah launched three anti-tank guided missiles at an Israeli military post that controlled a surveillance balloon flying over the border. They released camera footage afterward to show they had hit their mark. Hours later, the Israeli military confirmed that the spy balloon had been shot down over Leb

"We have multiple options that are guaranteed to succeed and to exhaust the enemy," Safieddine said. "If the enemy wants to continue the fight, we are ready to use new weapons," he added.

Hezbollah's use of more advanced weaponry, including drones capable of firing missiles, explosive drones and the small type of guided missile known as Almas, or Diamond, that was used to attack the base controlling the balloon has raised alarms within the Israeli military.

"This is a time of major changes," Safieddine said. "What is happening in Gaza, on the (southern) border, and in the region undoubtedly carries great implications."

"It shows the fragility and apparent confusion of the Israeli enemy," he added.

Hezbollah retaliates to Najjarieh strikes with rocket barrage
[An Nahar] Hezbollah targeted Friday a logistic military base in the occupied Golan heights with 50 Katyusha rockets, in response to al-Najjariyeh strikes.

The group said in a statement it has attacked the Tznobar base in response to the killing of two civilians in a strike on al-Najjarieh, near the coastal city of Sidon.

Hezbollah later targeted al-Raheb post in northern Israel in support of Gazoo

and artillery positions in al-Zaoura in response to Israeli artillery shelling on the border town of Houla.

The Israeli air strikes on al-Najjariyeh killed one Hezbollah fighter and two Syrian children.

Hezbollah earlier on Friday launched "attack drones" on a command center in Ga'aton, in response to an Israeli strike on a car in Qana on Thursday that killed two Hezbollah members.

Earlier this week Hezbollah said it had targeted an Israeli base near Tiberias, about 30 kilometres from the Lebanese border -- one of the group's deepest attacks into Israeli territory since festivities began on October 8.

The cross-border fighting has killed at least 418 people in Leb

, mostly gunnies but also including 82 civilians, according to an AFP tally.

Israel says 14 soldiers and 10 civilians have been killed on its side of the border.

Israel strikes on Lebanon killing three
[GEO.TV] Israeli air strikes on Friday hit an area of southern Leb

far from the border, Lebanese official media said, with a source close to Hezbollah reporting three dead including two Syrian nationals.

Lebanon's state-run National News Agency said "Israeli strikes targeted Najjariyeh and Addousiyeh", two adjacent villages about 30 kilometres (19 miles) from the Israeli border just south of the coastal city of Sidon.

The NNA reported "victims" without elaborating.

A source close to Hezbollah told AFP that three people were killed in Najjariyeh -- two Syrians and a Lebanese man.

Hezbollah said the attack was carried out with an "attack drone carrying two S5 rockets", which are normally launched from jets.
