Hizballah’s historic drone footage sends warning to Israel, with Jon Elmer

we've gone from Rafa to the narim corridor but on the northern border with um the Israeli border with Lebanon hasbalah has been stepping up uh its operations and they released statistics for their operations from the uh 250 day Mark that just passed the other day um they showed us here uh slide number 20 Tamara is the Hezbollah qu uh quantitative here uh assessment of their operations um 2,125 military operations and and I'll read you these uh operations um we can go to number 21 because Hezbollah also released a mixtape um of their operations and interestingly just note here that that this this video begins with the camera lens the camera lens then the anti-tank missiles it just gives you a sense of the the way that they have embedded these media Ops and the critical role these media operations play in this war showing us things that the Israelis would otherwise lie about and the way that the resistance both in Lebanon and in Gaza has used these media operations recording their operations and showing them to the world um is a critical part of their uh Warf fighting strategy um these videos are made to be seen they're made to be uh shown and talked about uh in the way that we talk about them on the air here some people um sometimes say are we saying too much about the operations um is it dangerous for the fighters these videos are released by the fighters um themselves that is the point of these videos is to show them and to be seen and to see these operations and here this is the 250-day um uh mixtape that Hezbollah released and just give you a sense of some of these operations so they've targeted 304 settlements um 1373 border sites 89 rear sites um so those are positions Beyond The Border 200 different border points 59 aerial targeting 110 targeting of bases um and of course the Israelis uh have hundreds of thousands of people out of their um Northern Communities in the north just like they are in the South the buffer zones as we know are inside Israel now um they're not in Lebanon like they were um during the occupation of Lebanon and they're not inside Gaza they're in the envelope and you can see here with this video Loops again you can see the camera um they they intentionally made that shot here and that Fighter um on that he's he's saying to his unit um he says unit 24 we answer gaza's call um so he's saying that that's what the fighter is saying uh on that record on the um that video that you just saw there when he's talking to his troops he's talking to his unit and saying that we're answering gaza's call which is what hasbalah said uh this has all been about since October the8th uh when they joined this battle um in solidarity with the um with the the southern front in Gaza um we have shown you many of these operations you'll recognize many of these uh operations I've shown you over the last eight months um and broke them down uh in detail but these have been coming uh Fast and Furious over the last couple weeks uh Hezbollah is definitely turning up the uh turning up the heat uh on the Northern front for Israel these are the suicide um the oneway suicide drones kamakazi drones attack drones um that Hezbollah has been using um so just let me give you more of these numbers three military factories 50 artillery positions 10 Iron Dome platforms including five since day 200 um seven d uh drones downed um five of their Flagship drones the Hermes 900 I'll show you that in coming up here another one was down um but hasb says 442 artillery operations that they have carried out 925 surface uh surface to surface rocket attacks so 925 rocket attacks um Israel says 5,000 rockets in those attacks 82 sniper machine gun attacks 100 drone attacks um 600 182 anti-tank guided missile attacks um and 23 engineering weapons so um that's been significant all through hezbollah's Tempo all through this war um has been uh to gradually escalate along with Israel and to um to tell Israel that they're ready for war on the North and Israel seems to be blustering a lot recently about war in the north um but I think the military assessment at this point for their exhausted troops can't um you know can't defeat um the cassam Bri Gades and the Palestinians in Gaza who have been besieged U for 15 17 years um just the formal Siege of course The Siege on Gaza goes back to the first into Vada um and so Hezbollah doesn't have those limitations Hezbollah has land um B land Crossing land access um hinter lands um they have strategic corridors between Iran um to to train fighters to import weapons all these things that Gaza doesn't have Hezbollah does have um and so Israel um taunting or saying that they're going to fight a a war against Hezbollah um seems to be um a strategic catastrophe waiting for Israel um let's look at number 22 because Hezbollah has also shown us the ability to down Israel's Flagship drone drones this is a Hermes 900 the lbit Drone this is a a $10 million per unit drone when they sell them to foreign countries which they've sold hundreds to foreign countries they end up being more like $20 million in the packages because of the um the pilots that come with them the pilots are from elbit the corporate um the corporate uh builder of these drones also staffs the U the pilots of the drones and trains the military how to use these drones so when you have Elbert on a boycott divestment and sanctions list um which they are um because of their Investments uh from foreign countries many countries have uh Banks U Pension funds um that are all tied into elet and elet is is having these um technicians actually embedded within the military units um so you can see here another Hermes 9 900 down this is the second 900 down in uh June alone they've down five three Hermes 900s and two Hermes 450 so five of these Flagship hunter killer drones these are attack drones that fire Munitions um these are the killer drones um that the Israelis are using through Gaza that you can hear all the time um and so here you hear you see it pretty spectacularly falling from the sky and we took the audio out as always we take the audio out but um the Lebanese civilians are saying congrats congrats boys you got another one um watching from the ground in Lebanon as these drones U these Israeli drones that terrorize the region um are falling from the sky um just very symbolic um visuals that that have been happening increasingly um we reported on them from Anar too ens has been able to down um something like half a dozen mq9 Reaper drones um so it seems like the axis of resistance has this capability now to down these Flagship drones and and we're seeing it um consistently and this is uh on top of these this is a surfac air missile again Hezbollah cuts out the part where the missile hits um they're still hiding what missile is used but we've reported on that before it's item 358 um that um is likely what is being used um to take down these drones and if we look at number 23 tomorrow here um this is a a Coronet strike um this is an Iranian version of the um Soviet cornet anti-tank guided missile and we see it being used here on the border um against uh an Israeli Humvee that's traveling along the border in Al Manara in the upper Galilee we can see the uh open topped Humvee there it's about to get hit by a cornet and the Israelis said that these two guys they're only lightly wounded they're just lightly wounded so again doesn't seem to match the videos that we're watching um certainly doesn't look like lightly wounded in this anti-tank missile strike on an open topped vehicle there but uh lightly wounded you can see that there's no sides on the on that vehicle it's not a fully armored vehicle it's a it's a Jeep so unlikely lightly wounded in that and then um you're going to watch this tomorrow but I'm recording this today hasbalah released a a video of Drone footage this is pretty remarkable they released this this is Tuesday they released video it's a nine it's almost 10 minutes long um I cut it down a bit shorter but um they're showing you here Drone footage over Israel this is the Raphael defense systems industrial complex a military industrial Zone Affiliated Raphael major Israeli weapons uh manufacturer and includes factories um warehouses testing areas um it includes Iron Dome platforms that we're looking at here so we're getting Hezbollah footage of Iron Dome platforms you can see the military industrial complex that they're showing here um of the leading Israeli defense one of the leading Israeli defense establishments here we see David sling and Iron Dome again this is part of their air defense array that's designed to take down drones that are uh recording footage like this and now they're going to show us hia um they're going to show us the neighborhoods in hia they identify 260,000 people in these neighborhoods that they're flying over this is Hezbollah Drone footage flying over it says high density Urban block bordering the coast of hia Bay located north uh of occupied uh they're call they call occupied hia um and again you can see the this footage Crystal Clear footage uh of the population of 260,000 in hia um this is this is what this is the target of a war an open war with Hezbollah would mean it would mean targets um well within Israeli uh well within Hezbollah range uh Israeli cities that haven't previously had to deal with war on the scale that the north has um as well um and so this is the port of hia showing you the Strategic area includes large military industrial and commercial facilities hia military base U Naval Base HPA civilian Port the largest port uh in Israel and here they're going to to show us uh the main Naval stations here um the uh over the port the port of hia has petrochemical plants um you can see there lots of Civilian areas integrated with uh military areas according U to the Israelis this is called using human Shields um all their military positions here their military positions here on the on the shoreline all integrated with civilian um positions in the uh hia Port they're showing the submarines there the submarine command unit they're just flexing that they know all of these sites um here they're showing their warships these are Corvette class uh warships the SAR warship um the D'Or is a patrol boat so they're picking out their individual military Patrol boats um you can see just the boat coming in there because they're mixing their civilian and Military that's the SAR 6 that's their state-of-the-art um Corvette that they get from the Germans um here we see the hia uh electrical station the large one of the largest uh Electrical uh state power power stations chemical storage here Nal has talked about these These are uh fuel tanks storage reservoirs oil reservoirs strategic reserves Israel's strategic reserves so what we're just getting a hint at is here they can Target all their military apparatuses but they can Target their civilian um their civilian apparatus and their strategic their power their um their strategic reserves of oil um to run their country um and an open war with Hezbollah um from the north is is something that Israelis are just not ready for and this footage today um from Hezbollah this 9 minute video is just a really remarkable video especially for people in Lebanon who have for the last um you know decades dealt with Israeli overflights of their territory constantly war planes flying over um and and taking uh violating Lebanese airspace um constantly before this war and now we're seeing hasola flying a drone over uh and pointing out all of the different strategic locations uh that uh that they have to Target and this is something that is uh this is just this just came out today um and the Israelis had to the IDF confirmed today that this is real they they told you uh if you needed confirmation of what your eyes are looking at the IDF confirmed that this is uh of course this is this is real according to the IDF um and look at it's just remarkable uh that the uh the Hezbollah drones that are supposed to be stopped by this multi-billion dollar aerial defense array are just touring around hia showing you all the major sites in hia um all the major positions that would become targeted in the war and nasrala said in his recent speech um that there's 200,000 Israelis out of their homes in the north but he said we can make it 2 million in minutes um and that's what that's what he's talking about he's saying uh these petrochemical facilities oil facilities um the power plant and the hia airport um as well here that are being shown in the port of um in the port of hia so this was a 10-minute video um that I I cut down for you but um but you can see this this very uh qualitative upgrade in the way uh in the threat Israel faces from the north that Hezbollah was showing us uh today again this is the port footage where you can see the civilian and Military uh apparatus is completely inter U completely connected in a way that uh if this was in uh Gaza they would call them human Shields but of course the Israelis don't call them that uh in Israel even though they're uh actually far more integrated in their civilian era areas than the Palestinians are who fight uh and command centers are based in the tunnel networks away from civilians um this is the Strategic this is Israel's strategic assets that are being shown here these are the warships um there's the cap electrical station the uh oil um strategic oil reserves so all the major targets uh of an open War being shown here by Hezbollah in this in this video so um you can just see the U the the promise from Hezbollah of of the targets um were Israel to escalate this war on the north um because the Israelis are saying right now that 40% of their population won't return to the north um without that that's what the settlement leadership themselves say 40% won't return to the north unless um there's a war unless there's a war that resol VES the fact that Hezbollah Fighters are along this border so these are very significant strategic questions that are facing Israel um and I just wanted to bring you that from the Lebanon front so that is the resistance report for this week we went from the uh Southern uh most area of the Gaza Strip uh up into the northern most area of occupied Palestine Israel in hia and the attacks from hasbalah in in the north so that's the resistance report for this week thanks for watching this video
