Lebanese resistance party Hezbollah released footage of a successful drone attack against an Israeli military vehicle filled with Zionist troops in southern Lebanon on May 26.
The video begins with Hezbollah fighters assembling the first-person-view (FPV) suicide drone in front of a sign that reads in Farsi, “Dedicated to the sacrificing dear Iranian people for the kindness and continued support of Lebanon. Your brothers from the Islamic Resistance of Lebanon.”
A separate sign resting on the drone says in Farsi, “The martyrs of the Minab Shajare Elementary School,” in reference to the 180 schoolgirls and teachers who were murdered by the US and Israel in an attack on a girls’ elementary school on the first day of the invasion of Iran on February 28.
The video then shows the drone following an Israeli military vehicle as it drives. A few Zionist soldiers jump out of the back of the vehicle right as the drone makes impact.
Hezbollah has had extensive success in annihilating Israeli forces with its FPV drones over the past month, which are cheap to produce and resistant to remote jamming. The footage provided by the drones exposes the losses of Zionist forces invading Lebanon, which are systematically hidden by Israel. The resistance drone attacks, in conjunction with multi-phase ambushes of the invaders, have forced the IDF this month to retreat from multiple south Lebanese towns and to limit their daytime maneuvers, curtailing the Zionist entity’s genocidal operations flattening the homes of south Lebanon.
On May 25, Nazi-Zionist butcher Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that Israel is intensifying its genocidal campaign against Lebanon in an effort to defeat Hezbollah and occupy the country. The announcement came as Lebanon celebrated Resistance and Liberation Day, this year marking the 26th anniversary of the victory of Lebanese resistance forces led by Hezbollah against Israel, ending much of the Zionists’ 15-year occupation of their country.
Israel and Lebanon agreed to a ceasefire on April 16 this year as part of Iran’s condition of a regional ceasefire after Iran, Hezbollah, and other regional resistance allies defeated US-Zionist forces through roughly six weeks of coordinated warfare.
Israel has since attacked Lebanon on a daily basis despite signing the ceasefire. Hezbollah continues to strike daily against invading forces, preventing Zionist troops from making it more than a few miles into Lebanese territory. According to the resistances’ military media office, Hezbollah carried out 22 operations on May 25 and 32 on May 26.
