Sayyed Hashem Safieddine, head of Hezbollah’s Executive Council, said the successful drone operation carried out on Friday demonstrated Hezbollah’s capabilities, Al-Ahed News reported.

“Our measures will be broader in the future and the Zionist regime will be shocked by the capabilities of the resistance,” he added.

Safieddine said the resistance should continue to develop its weapons and equipment and enhance its military preparedness against the enemy.  

He also stated that the progresses made by the resistance and its measures to serve the people in all fields anger the enemies.

On Friday, Hezbollah flew a drone over the Israeli-occupied territories for a reconnaissance mission and the aircraft returned untouched after completing the mission successfully.

“The Islamic resistance launched ‘Hassan’ drone into the occupied Palestinian territories,” Hezbollah said in a statement, adding that the unmanned aerial vehicle roamed “the targeted area for 40 minutes on a reconnaissance mission, which extended along 70 kilometers.

“Despite all of the enemy’s numerous and consecutive attempts to down it, the aircraft ‘Hassan’ returned from the occupied territories safely after carrying out the required mission successfully,” the statement added.

The Israeli military confirmed the flyover, saying an interceptor missile that was fired at the aircraft and warplanes that were scrambled failed to intercept it.

It comes as the leader of Hezbollah, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, said on Wednesday the resistance movement has developed the capability to make rockets and drones on its own.

“We have started manufacturing drones,” he said, addressing the Israeli regime rulers.
