Hezbollah claims responsibility: We inflicted casualties on occupation soldiers
Meanwhile, Hezbollah announced that it targeted a military command center in northern Israel with rockets and drones. The party said in a statement posted on its website: “In support of our steadfast Palestinian people in Gaza and in support of their brave and honorable resistance, and in response to the enemy’s assassination of a number of fighters in Ain al-Bayda and Al-Shahabiya, the Mujahideen of the Islamic Resistance launched at 13:15 on Wednesday, 17-04-2024, a comprehensive attack with guided missiles and suicide drones on the headquarters of the newly established Military Reconnaissance Secretariat in Arab al-Aramsha, known as the ‘Community Center,’ directly hitting it and inflicting casualties among its personnel, both dead and wounded.”
The party also announced the killing of Mohammed Hussein Mustafa Shuhouri and another member without clarifying their roles, while the Amal Movement announced the killing of one of its members in Ain al-Bayda.
