With the continued military escalation between Israel and Hezbollah, the party returned to the pace of issuing military statements on a daily basis, something reminiscent of the period of the “Gaza Support War.”
Since the early hours of dawn on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, Hezbollah announced a series of military operations targeting Israeli sites and bases in the Galilee and Golan, in addition to targeting military vehicles on the border and shooting down a drone. This coincided with intense Israeli raids on the southern suburbs of Beirut, the south, and the Bekaa, and the Israeli army issued new evacuation warnings to Lebanese towns and regions.
According to statements issued by Hezbollah, operations began at exactly 05:00 in the morning, when it was announced that the Ramat David Air Base in northern Israel was targeted by a swarm of attack drones, targeting radar sites and control rooms at the base.
About an hour and a half later, the party announced another attack at 06:30 a.m., using swooping drones that targeted the Meron base for surveillance and air operations management, confirming that one of the radars and a command building at the base had been hit.
At the same time, the party announced the launch of a large missile launch targeting the Nafah base in the occupied Syrian Golan, which is considered the headquarters of an Israeli military division.
Later, the party announced that at 10:50 a.m., the Ma’yan Baruch site in the Upper Galilee was targeted with a missile.
It was also announced in later statements that the Rawiya base and the southern Keila barracks in the occupied Syrian Golan were targeted with a missile launcher at 1:40 p.m.
On the ground, Hezbollah announced that it was able, at 12:30 p.m., to shoot down an Israeli drone in the airspace of the city of Nabatieh, using “appropriate weapons.”
In another development, the party announced that it had targeted a Merkava tank at the Al-Samaqa site in the Kfar Shuba hills at 14:45 in the afternoon, confirming a direct hit.
It was also later announced that another Merkava tank had been targeted at 15:00 in Tal Nahas on the outskirts of the town of Kafr Kila, before confirming the targeting of two additional Merkava tanks that attempted to advance to withdraw the targeted tank, with guided missiles, forcing the Israeli forces to evacuate the casualties under heavy smoke cover, according to the statement.
In the evening, the party announced the implementation of additional operations, including:
A Merkava tank was targeted at the Metulla site with a guided missile at 20:30 pm.
The Haifa Naval Base was bombed at 20:00 pm with a volley of missiles.
Targeting a gathering of Israeli army forces in the Al-Ajel Plateau, north of the Kfaryouval settlement, with a missile strike at 23:20 at night.
These operations come in light of the widespread military escalation that the region has witnessed since the past few days, following the Israeli raids that targeted various areas in Lebanon, including the southern suburbs of Beirut, the south, and the Bekaa, which resulted in deaths, injuries, widespread destruction, and the displacement of thousands of civilians.
In parallel, during the past few hours, the Israeli army issued a series of evacuation warnings to residents of towns in the south, the Bekaa, and even the vicinity of Sidon, in a move that brings to mind the widespread warnings that preceded the waves of bombing during the “Tishreen War.”
Based on this scene, it appears that the southern front is heading towards a phase of open escalation, accompanied by the return of daily military statements recording mutual operations between the two parties, at a time when the circle of confrontation is expanding and international warnings are increasing about the region sliding into a wider war.
