Hezbollah drone collects footage of Israel's Haifa port, airport and military sites
2024-06-20
[NEWARAB] The Lebanese Hezbollah group published footage on Tuesday of the northern Israeli port city of Haifa and its environs as tensions rapidly increase following months of border conflict between the two enemies.

Hezbollah has been engaged in cross-border fighting with the Israeli military in parallel with its ferocious war on Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...

Its publication of the footage drew a fiery
...a single two-syllable word carrying connotations of both incoherence and viciousness. A fiery delivery implies an audience of rubes and yokels, preferably forming up into a mob...
response from Israeli officials who repeated threats of all-out war against Leb
...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
. It was not clear when the video was taken.

Hezbollah chief His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah
...The satrap of the Medes and the Persians in Leb...>
said last November that his group had been flying surveillance drones over Haifa and the group has also sent attack drones into Israel in the last eight months.

The drone which took the footage, dubbed by Hezbollah 'Al-Hudhud' ("hoopoe") has been celebrated by the group's supporters as a major achievement.

What did the video show?

Flying at what appears to be low altitude, the nine-and-a-half-minute long video shows the airport and Haifa port and what Hezbollah-linked media said were "important" and "sensitive" military sites. Haifa is about 27 kilometres from the Lebanese border.

The video appeared to show a military industrial zone belonging to Rafael defence where Israel assembles its air defence systems such as the Iron Dome, David's Slingshot, and rocket engine depots, according to Hezbollah.

More facilities such as power stations, petrochemical refineries, Israeli Navy and civilian infrastructure are also shown.
