Hezbollah announces that an Israeli warship was targeted off the coast of Lebanon with a naval cruise missile

Hezbollah announced on Sunday that it targeted an Israeli military battleship off the Lebanese coast, as part of its response to the extensive and continuous aggression launched by Israel for more than a month.

Hezbollah said in a statement that it targeted an Israeli military battleship at midnight on Saturday and Sunday, 68 nautical miles off the Lebanese coast, which was preparing to carry out attacks on Lebanese territory.

The statement added that the targeting operation was carried out with a naval cruise missile after monitoring the target for hours, and it was confirmed that it was directly hit.

“The operation comes in defense of Lebanon and its people, and in response to the Israeli enemy’s persistence in bombing villages and cities, destroying infrastructure and displacing civilians”, the statement said.

This comes amid the continuation of the extensive Israeli aggression on Lebanon since March 2, which resulted in the death of 1,422 people and the injury of 4,294 others, in addition to the displacement of more than one million people, according to the Lebanese authorities.
