The operation, which was described as a "complex" maneuver by Hebrew media, saw a Hezbollah one-way drone successfully striking a military site in northern occupied Palestine.

According to an Israeli occupation forces' statement, despite attempts to intercept the drone, it ultimately caused casualties among the troops stationed at the site.

Hezbollah Movement in Lebanon announced a series of coordinated attacks against Israeli military positions along the border with occupied Palestine. At 11:30 am, Hezbollah launched a strike using one-way drones, targeting a gathering of Israeli soldiers and vehicles in Metulla. The attack resulted in the destruction of multiple vehicles and casualties among the Israeli forces.

Reports from Israeli media initially stated that two soldiers were seriously wounded, with one later confirmed dead.

Prior to the drone strike, Hezbollah fighters launched Katyusha rockets at the headquarters of the Israeli Golan Brigade in the Nafah military base at 9:00 am. Later in the day, Israeli technical hardware at the Hadab Yaroun military base was targeted and hit by Hezbollah using appropriate weaponry.

The Lebanese Resistance released air surveillance footage revealing the attacked position and Israeli unit in Metulla. The footage showed the Israeli force stationed in an obscure parking lot in Nahal Ayun, surrounded by dense forests and trees. The station housed a reconnaissance unit from the Hetzei Ha-Esh 551 Brigade - 98th Division, as well as another unit from the artillery.

Hezbollah reiterated that these operations were conducted in solidarity with the Palestinian people in Gaza and as a response to Israeli attacks on southern Lebanese villages and civilian homes.
