A key element of the escalation is a swarm of attack drones and rockets aimed at Israeli sites beyond the border, including Iron Dome systems at Burya base.

Palestine Chronicle describes the operation as 'a deliberate and coordinated effort aimed at stopping the advance and inflicting direct losses on Israeli armored units.'

Hezbollah’s leadership is quoted saying, 'This resistance will not be defeated…' signaling a resolve to sustain the campaign.
