In two statements, the Lebanese party said its fighters targeted the Stella Maris naval base, a key maritime surveillance facility on the northern coast northwest of Haifa, with a “precise missile barrage” at 8:00 AM on Friday, November 8, 2024. They also hit the Ramat David Airbase and airport southeast of Haifa with a rocket salvo.

In subsequent statements, Hezbollah announced targeting an Israeli gathering in Jal al-Hamar, south of Adaysseh, with artillery, causing casualties, and hitting a military bulldozer escorted by infantry as it advanced toward the Sari Ridge northwest of Kafr Kila, destroying it, reportedly killing and wounding its crew, and injuring members of the escorting force with “a guided missile.”

Additionally, Hezbollah targeted the settlement of Kiryat Shmona with a rocket barrage, as part of a warning issued by its fighters to several northern settlements.

In turn, Israeli media reported that Hezbollah launched dozens of rockets since early morning, reaching Haifa and south of Nazareth, with sirens heard in Zar’it in the western Galilee and Kila in the northern Golan.
