Israel came under attack from several fronts late on 28 September, including a Hezbollah missile strike that hit the vicinity of occupied Jerusalem. 

Fires erupted at the Mitzpe Hagit settlement outpost near the settlements of Maale Adumim and Maale Mikhmas after the Hezbollah operation.

The attack resulted in a power outage in several settlements. Video footage showed the blast when the missile made an impact. 

The blast was heard by residents in the occupied West Bank. According to unconfirmed reports, the missile hit a gathering of Israeli military leaders near Jerusalem. 

Hezbollah drones also made impact in settlements near Nahariya. Strict Israeli army censorship has been imposed on both incidents. 

The Lebanese resistance has yet to announce the operations. It said on Sunday morning in a statement that it hit the Ofek military camp with a barrage of Fadi-1 rockets. 

The Yemeni Armed Forces targeted Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion airport with the Palestine-2 ballistic missile on Saturday evening.

“The missile force of the Yemeni armed forces launched an operation targeting Jaffa Airport, known in Israel as Ben Gurion, during the arrival of the criminal Benjamin Netanyahu,” the Yemeni army said in a statement on 28 September. 

The Israeli military said it shot down the missile outside its airspace. 

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq (IRI) also announced several attacks against Israeli targets on Saturday.

“The Mujahideen of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq attacked today, Saturday 9/28/2024, a vital target in Umm al-Rashrash (Eilat) in our occupied territories, using drones,” IRI said. 

Earlier, IRI announced drone attacks targeting Tel Aviv and the occupied Golan Heights. 

Saturday’s Resistance Axis operations came hours after Hezbollah confirmed the assassination of its Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah in a brutal Israeli airstrike that leveled several buildings in Beirut’s southern suburb the day before. The assassination has sent shockwaves throughout the region.
