Highlights: The military censorship allowed the publication that there was damage to the base area on Mount Miron, this after Hezbollah published documentation of the shooting that took place last week. A video released by Hezbollah on its social networks shows a missile being fired from across Lebanon into Israeli territory, hitting the base's fence. The military censors allowed it to be published because damage had indeed been detected in the area of the base. This is not the first time that Hezbollah directs its attacks at the base of the air control unit, as last March a Hezbollah drone hit the base, the IDF spokesperson said last month. "There are no casualties and there is nodamage to the unit's competence," the IDF spokesperson said. "It was known that Hezbollah had these capabilities. They also tried to challenge us in the Second Lebanon War and failed," he added. The IDF has backup for any infrastructure of this type, the spokesperson said, adding that the Air Force's freedom of action was preserved and that there were alternatives.

Hizbullah LIBA shooting in Maron/Lala

The terrorist organization Hezbollah published today (Thursday) documentation of the shooting it carried out at the air force base in Miron last week. A video released by Hezbollah on its social networks shows a missile being fired from across Lebanon into Israeli territory, hitting the fence at the Mount Miron base. After the explosion it can be seen that the fence was damaged. After the publication of the documentation by the terrorist organization, the military censors allowed it to be published because damage had indeed been detected in the area of ​​the base.

This is not the first time that Hezbollah directs its attacks at the base of the air control unit, as last March a Hezbollah drone hit the base. "There are no casualties and there is no damage to the unit's competence," the IDF spokesperson said last month.



Last January, the terrorist organization launched dozens of rockets towards Mount Miron in order to hit the base. The IDF confirmed at the time that there was damage to the base's infrastructure, but nevertheless clarified that the Air Force's freedom of action was preserved and that there were alternatives. Senior officers then clarified that the attack on Mount Miron was not a surprise. "It was known that Hezbollah had these capabilities. The IDF has backup for any infrastructure of this type. They also tried to challenge us in the Second Lebanon War and failed."

Hezbollah knows how important air control units are. The controllers see further than the pilots and the radars of their planes, direct them towards targets such as enemy planes and cruise missiles, make order in the sky and make sure that fire limitation instructions are observed.



In the Second Lebanon War in 2006, Nasrallah repeatedly attacked the radar antennas of the Hib A HaTsifunit, 12506, until he destroyed them and put them out of action. The Air Force later restored it, but did it learn any lessons? Not like Nasrallah produced.
