Hezbollah's video concluded with the phrase "and the birds as they soar," suggesting ongoing drone activity in the airspace of occupied Palestine, as noted by expert sources speaking to Al Mayadeen on Tuesday.
Earlier that day, the Military Media of the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah, released footage depicting its reconnaissance drones navigating over various regions of occupied Palestinian land. From Kiryat Shmona to Haifa and its port, the video showcased the drones' extensive coverage. Titled "This is what the Hoopoe came back with," the nine-and-a-half-minute video captured sensitive Israeli sites, underlining the drones' ability to bypass Israeli air defenses and return safely to Lebanese airspace without detection.
The footage's release underscored Hezbollah's technological capabilities and strategic reach, highlighting its ability to gather intelligence deep within Israeli territory. This development reaffirmed the group's determination to assert its presence and monitor activities in the region despite heightened tensions and security measures.
According to expert sources speaking to Al Mayadeen, the timing of the video's release is clearly connected to the visit of US envoy Amos Hochstein to Lebanon, described as a mission "of Israeli nature."

The sources emphasized that the Hoopoe of the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon was observed flying over not only the Haifa military base but also other highly sensitive installations.
Of particular significance, they noted, was the documentation of the military-industrial complex associated with the Rafael Company, an area deemed extremely sensitive.
These sources further elucidated that companies and specialized websites engaged in aerial and industrial imaging have refrained from publishing updated images at the request of the Israeli government due to the sensitive nature of these areas.
Expanding on this, experts informed Al Mayadeen that Hezbollah's video encompasses three distinct categories of potential targets: military (such as the Military-Industrial Complex and the Haifa Military Base), civilian (including the Krayot area), and strategic (encompassing Haifa Port and its facilities).
Moreover, they elaborated that these three categories of potential targets serve to establish a three-dimensional balance of deterrence against Israel, with each dimension corresponding to the type of target Israel might consider striking in any confrontation with Lebanon.
Conclusively, the sources highlighted Hezbollah's intention to convey a message of parity: "Hezbollah wanted to say that [the equation is] military for military, civilian for civilian, and strategic for strategic."
The experts delved into the nuances of a video, dissecting the symbolism behind the missiles depicted and deciphering Hezbollah's potential intentions. They pointed out that the missile illustrated next to the target card features guiding fins at its front, suggesting precision, which could be a deliberate message from Hezbollah. Additionally, the presence of a red missile next to the identification card of Haifa Port signifies the site's elevated importance to Hezbollah, indicating a high level of seriousness in terms of potential targeting.
Their analysis highlights the meticulous attention paid to symbolic details within the video, revealing insights into Hezbollah's strategic messaging and potential targets. By interpreting these subtle cues, experts gain valuable understanding into the group's objectives and priorities.
Touching on the details of the video, the experts explained that the missile illustrated next to the target card has guiding fins at its front, symbolizing a precise missile, which is a message Hezbollah intended to convey in the video.
They noted that the red missile illustrated next to the identification card of Haifa Port indicates that Hezbollah treats this site with a high level of seriousness in terms of potential targeting.
According to the experts, this video is only the first episode in a series yet to come, with subsequent episodes showing how far the Resistance's reconnaissance drones have reached inside occupied Palestinian airspace.
Elsewhere, the sources told Al Mayadeen that the timing of releasing the video is undoubtedly linked to the visit of US envoy Amos Hochstein to Lebanon on a mission "of Israeli nature" even if it appears as part of a mediation effort.
Earlier, Hochstein called for an immediate de-escalation of tensions on the northern border between Lebanon and "Israel".
Hezbollah's video unveiled dozens of 'super vital' targets
Major General Wasif Arikat described what Hezbollah revealed in the latest video as the "most valuable bank of targets."
He told Al Mayadeen that the message behind the video has been received, adding that what is happening now is not a field war but a war of awareness that proved that the Israeli occupation army, once described as the "invincible army", has been defeated and retreated.
On his part, Brigadier General Mohammad Abbass said that Hezbollah's drones surpassed all air defense systems and returned without being detected by Israeli systems.
He highlighted to Al Mayadeen that the video unveiled dozens of "super vital" targets, demonstrating that the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon possesses highly advanced capabilities.
Brigadier General Abbass further explained that the name "Hoopoe", which is a type of bird, reflects the long distance that Hezbollah's drones traveled in occupied Palestinian lands before returning with such valuable scenes.
Israeli media described what Hezbollah's drones documented as "disturbing" and "very dangerous".
