1.  In the last 24 hours, 24 attacks were carried out against northern and central Israel. During these attacks over 150 rockets were launched deep into Israeli territory. Hezbollah claimed responsibility for 15 of the attacks.

2.  Most of Hezbollah’s attacks targeted the Golan Heights, different parts of the Galilee, Haifa and Haifa Bay area, and the Jezreel valley. These areas comprise 1.5 million citizens of Israel’s population.

3.  In the last 24 hours, Hezbollah claimed responsibility for attacking the communities of Gesher Haziv, Katzrin, HaGoshrim, Rosh Pina, Hatzor HaGalilit, and Kiryat Motzkin. At least 3 civilians were injured and several houses in Safed, Rosh Pina, and Saar suffered direct hits.

4. This morning (September 25), Hezbollah launched a surface-to-surface missile toward Tel Aviv, over 100 km from the border with Lebanon. The missile was intercepted, no casualties or damage reported.  In an official statement Hezbollah claimed it launched a Kadr-1 missile.

5.  It is important to mention the confusing Iranian policy regarding the naming of various weapon systems, where a specific weapon system can have several different names or, conversely, multiple weapon systems sharing the same name.

6.  In this context, a common phenomenon is rebranding old and familiar weapon systems with new names. This is how the Iranians operate, and Hezbollah does the same.

7.  This morning (September 25), the Islamic Resistance in Iraq claimed responsibility for carrying out four attacks against targets in northern and eastern Israel, using UAVs and cruise missiles. The IDF reported it intercepted a UAV around the Sea of Galilee. Additionally, a UAV launched from Iraq entered southern Israel through Jordan and exploded in the area.

8.  Yesterday (September 24), in a targeted airstrike in the Dahieh suburb of Beirut, the IDF killed Ibrahim Muhammad Qubaisi, the commander of Hezbollah’s missile and rocket array. Alongside Qubaisi, additional commanders in Hezbollah’s missile and rocket unit were also killed.

9.  In the last 24 hours, the IDF has extensively attacked hundreds of Hezbollah targets in the Beqaa Valley and in other areas of Lebanon. Among the targets were military infrastructures, buildings, and warehouses where weapons, including cruise missiles and dozens of rocket launchers aimed at Israel, were stored.

10. In the last two days, since September 23, Hezbollah has published official announcements regarding the deaths of 4 terrorists. However, on social media, there have been reports of funerals of at least 10 Hezbollah terrorists. Hezbollah is concealing the number of its casualties resulting from IDF attacks to create the impression that only civilians are affected.
