Hezbollah shoots down Israel's Hermes 450 drone over southern Lebanon
2024-04-23
[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] Hezbollah resistance movement has released a video, saying its fighters have shot down an advanced Israeli drone over southern Leb
...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
after it violated the country’s airspace.

"The Islamic Resistance® confirms that the enemy drone that its fighters shot down in the airspace of the al-Aishiya area in southern Lebanon is a Hermes 450," the movement said in a late Sunday statement.

Hezbollah added in its statement that the Israeli Hermes 450 drone was shot down when "it was attacking our honorable and steadfast people."

It said shooting down of the drone was part of the movements’ operations carried out in support of the Paleostinian people in the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
Strip.

Hours later, the Israeli regime’s military said in a statement that one of its drones operating in the skies of Lebanon had been hit by a surface-to-air missile.

The Hermes 450 drone, which is made by Israel’s Elbit company, has an endurance of over 20 hours and its primary mission is reconnaissance, surveillance and communications relay. However,
the way to a man's heart remains through his stomach...
it can also carry up to four missiles for offensive operations.

The drone has a wingspan of 10.6 meters, weighs 550 kilograms, and its Hebrew name is Zik.

The new achievement came after earlier in April, Hezbollah fighters managed to shoot down an advanced Hermes 900 Israeli drone over Lebanese territory.

The Israeli army admitted that the drone had crashed in Lebanese territory after being hit by a surface-to-air missile.

With a wingspan of 15 meters, Hermes 900 is the second-largest reconnaissance drone in the Israeli air force.

The Israeli regime has been waging sporadic attacks against the Lebanese soil since October 7, 2023, when it launched a genocidal war against the Gaza Strip that has so far claimed the lives of nearly 34,100 Paleostinians, mostly women and kiddies.

Hezbollah has been retaliating against the regime’s attacks, conducting daily operations against targets throughout the occupied territories in solidarity with the war-hit Gazooks.

The resistance movement fought off two Israeli wars against Lebanon in 2000 and 2006, forcing a humiliating retreat on the Tel Aviv regime’s military in both cases.

The movement has vowed to resolutely defend Lebanon in case of any other Israeli-imposed war.
