    Unleashing 100 missiles, Hezbollah announces Operation Devoured Straw

    In response to the Israeli aggression on Lebanon, the Islamic Resistance Hezbollah has targeted northern “Israel” with at least 100 missiles and swarms of drones under Operation Devoured Straw.

    The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah has announced Operation Devoured Straw in response to the Israeli aggression against its homeland and people.

    The name originates from a verse in the Holy Qur’an from Surah al-Fil (The Elephant), and refers to a famous event in pre-Islamic Arabia known as “The Year of the Elephant.”

    1 Have you not regarded how your Lord dealt
    with the Men of the Elephant?
    2 Did He not make their stratagems go awry,
    3 and send against them flocks of birds
    4 pelting them with stones of shale,
    5 thus making them like devoured (chewed-up) straw?

    That year, an army led by Abraha, the ruler of Yemen under the Aksumite Kingdom, marched toward Mecca with war elephants to destroy the Kaaba and redirect pilgrimage to Sanaa. As the army approached the city, the Quran recounts that God intervened, sending flocks of birds that struck the invaders with stones, causing their army to collapse and their campaign to fail.

    The episode became a powerful symbol in Islamic memory, showing that the Kaaba was protected not by armies, but by divine intervention. The event occurred the year of Prophet Muhammad’s birth, and the story underscores a central Quranic theme: overwhelming power and military might cannot prevail against divine will or justice.

    Hezbollah unleashes 100+ missiles

    Right upon announcing the operation, Hezbollah launched at least 100 missiles targeting northern “Israel”, Israeli media reported.

    Sirens blared across northern settlements and also in central “Israel” as two waves of Iranian missiles were detected.

    At the same time, Israeli media reported a fresh round of alarms in the occupied north amid a drone attack from Lebanon, particularly in the occupied Golan Heights, Metulla, and Misgav Am.

    Direct impact was reported as missiles pounded the Israeli occupation.
