Hezbollah held a military maneuver in southern Lebanon on Sunday that simulated an attack on Israeli communities and the abduction of prisoners, Arab media reported. Footage circulated from the exercise shows the use of drones, motorcyclists and Israeli flags.
According to a report on the Lebanese Al-Mayadeen network, Hezbollah carried out a limited attack maneuver in southern Lebanon that ended with a practice of "invading an Israeli community and capturing prisoners." It was also reported that the maneuver also included the use of "weapons of drones that simulate an attack on Israeli communities."
"We say to Netanyahu and his gang, we watched your ability and your helplessness in the events of the new equation in the 'revenge of the freedom seekers' system [Operation Shield and Arrow in the Gaza Strip]. Netanyahu gasped but failed," Hezbollah's executive council chief Safi al-Din said today, as the pro-Iranian terror group maneuvered.

The terrorist organization conducted several military exercises in the south of the country today. Al-Din, speaking at the event, referred to Operation Shield and Arrow, in which Hezbollah did not intervene while Israel assassinated senior Islamic Jihad figures and attacked the organization's infrastructure in the Gaza Strip.
A senior Hezbollah official even threatened that "the Israeli occupation will see the operation of precision missiles at the heart of its entity – if it commits an act of folly to deviate from the rules of the game." He stated that "the weapons will remain in the hands of the opponents until complete victory is achieved. The message to the Zionist enemy is that the resistance that produced victories has not tired despite all the political pressure and the economic blockade."

According to him, the current maneuver signals "the full readiness of the resistance to confront any aggression and prove the equations of deterrence that protected Lebanon." He added: "We tell the Israelis that if they think about expanding the circle of aggression, then the resistance is ready to shower the enemy with what it will not be able to respond to."
