Hezbollah has published a video lasting nine minutes and 31 seconds of what it says is drone footage gathered from its surveillance aircraft of locations in Israel, including the sea and air ports of the key northern city of Haifa.
The decision to broadcast the footage, which had images of residential and military sites in and around Haifa, including port facilities, appeared aimed as much at an Israeli audience as at a wider international one.
If verified as genuine, the footage is likely to alarm Israel’s security establishment, suggesting an even greater vulnerability to drone incursion than previously recognised, not least with the implicit threat of being able to overfly Haifa.
The footage appeared to show parts of a factory belonging to Rafael defence – including Iron Dome batteries, rocket engine depots, David’s Slingshot facilities and radar.
The disclosure of the footage appeared to be timed to coincide with the visit of the US envoy Amos Hochstein to Lebanon after meeting senior Israeli officials, including the prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, the day before.
After several days of relative quiet between Israel and Hezbollah over the weekend, following last week’s barrages which included the heaviest of the war, Tuesday saw a rise in hostilities again.
