Hezbollah's Khaybar Operations: An Overview
Hezbollah's recent military operations, dubbed the "Khaybar" operations, have raised significant concerns regarding their implications for regional security. According to military expert Brigadier General Hassan Jouni, these operations, which began on October 1, aim to instill confusion and anxiety within the Israeli military ranks. Jouni emphasized that the operations showcase Hezbollah's enhanced missile capabilities and their strategic ability to target key Israeli installations.
Targeting Israeli Bases
On November 8, Hezbollah announced successful strikes on the Ramat David base and the Stella Maris base, both of which are located in proximity to Haifa. Jouni described these attacks as utilizing "precise-to-reach missiles" that possess substantial destructive power. He noted that the operations reflect a well-coordinated approach, highlighting Hezbollah's capability to launch missiles and drones effectively across various ranges and targets.
Escalation and Future Implications
The military expert pointed out that the Khaybar operations have seen a total of 56 attacks, with 18 occurring in just the past week. This escalation, according to Hezbollah, is part of a meticulously planned strategy aimed at achieving specific military objectives. Jouni also highlighted the significance of the recent strike on the Tserfin base near Tel Aviv, marking a notable increase in Hezbollah's operational reach and effectiveness. As these operations continue, the potential for heightened tensions in the region remains a critical concern.
