Hezbollah: We organized in response to attacks on Beirut
In a statement, Hezbollah said that an attack was carried out on the training base of the Israeli army’s Glolani Brigade in the Binyamina area, south of Haifa, with a UAV fleet in solidarity with the resistance of the Palestinian people in Gaza, in defense of Lebanon and its people, and in response to the attacks on the Basta and Nuwayri neighborhoods in Beirut.
The statement said that Hezbollah was ready to defend its country and its people and that it “will not back down from its duty to deter the enemy.”
