BEIRUT (Dispatches) -- 
Lebanon’s resistance movement Hezbollah on Wednesday attacked the headquarters of Israel’s military in Tel Aviv for the first time.
Hezbollah said in a statement that it conducted an “aerial attack with a squadron of exploding drones” on the Hakirya base housing Israel’s main military institutions.
The base serves at the Israeli regime’s “ministry of war and general staff, the war management room, and the air force’s military control and oversight authority”, it said.
Drones of the resistance also targeted Israel’s Amos base— the main logistical support and transportation hub— in northern occupied territories.
The Zionist military did not comment on Hezbollah attack on its headquarters but claimed that it had intercepted two drones and 40 projectiles launched from Lebanon.
Hezbollah retaliatory attack came hours after the occupying regime of Israel attacked southern suburbs of Lebanon’s capital Beirut.
At least 78 people were martyred and 122 wounded on Tuesday by Israeli strikes across Lebanon, the country’s ministry of health said. 
The casualties bring Lebanon’s total death toll since October 8, 2023 to 3,365 killed and 14,344 injured. At least 216 children are among the casualties.
The exchange of fire came as the Israeli army acknowledged that several of its troops were killed in southern Lebanon. Hebrew sources have reported a death toll of eight.
Hezbollah has been conducting rocket and drone strikes on northern occupied territories in support of its Palestinian ally Hamas, following the start of the genocidal war in Gaza last October.
Israel issued new forced displacement orders in Lebanon, as its war minister vowed the war on Lebanon would continue. 
“We will make no ceasefires, we will not take our foot off the pedal, and we will not allow any arrangement that does not include the achievement of our war objectives,” Israel Katz told Zionist commanders on Wednesday.
