Hezbollah Attacks Israeli Meron Air Base
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The Lebanese Hezbollah resistance forces have launched a strike on the Zionist regime’s Meron military base.
In a brief statement, the resistance group said it destroyed espionage equipment inside the headquarters of the air surveillance unit and the air operations command at the base on Friday morning.
The operation, it said, came in support of the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and their resistance fighters, and in response to Israeli strikes on the towns and villages in southern Lebanon, Press TV reported.
Additionally, the Lebanese resistance fighters shelled the Israeli al-Malikiyah military site and precisely struck the designated targets.
The Lebanese health ministry announced on Thursday that 564 deaths and 1,848 injuries had been recorded from last October to August 20 as a result of Israeli raids and shelling of southern Lebanon.
The ministry said in a report that 84 percent of the injuries were males, and 93 percent of them were Lebanese nationals, adding that 53 percent of the injuries were under the age of 44.
A total of 42 percent of the injuries were caused by shock, 43 percent by an explosion, and 15 percent by chemical exposure, said the ministry.
