Hezbollah Releases Video Documentation of Strikes Against Israeli Military Vehicles

Hezbollah has released video footage documenting two separate helicopter strikes targeting Israeli military engineering vehicles in southern Lebanon, the group announced on Friday, May 15, 2026.

The released footage captures operations against Israeli engineering vehicles in Tair Harfa on May 12, 2026, and a D9-type engineering vehicle at Khallet Al-Raj in Deir Saryan on May 10, 2026, both conducted using attack helicopters.

The video releases coincide with a series of operational announcements from the group, which has declared a succession of military operations targeting Israeli vehicles and troop concentrations across multiple southern Lebanese towns. Hezbollah stated that these operations are being conducted in defense of Lebanon and its population, and in response to what the group characterizes as Israeli ceasefire violations and attacks on southern villages.

Throughout Friday, Hezbollah issued multiple statements detailing military engagements. In one statement, the group reported striking a Merkava tank in Rashaf at 7:50 a.m. with an attack helicopter, claiming a direct hit was achieved.

The organization also announced targeting three Israeli "buckle" vehicles performing bulldozing operations in Khiam at 9:00 a.m. using artillery shells. Another Merkava tank on the Bayada-Naqoura road was reported struck at 2:00 p.m. with an attack helicopter, with the group confirming a confirmed hit.

Hezbollah further reported engaging Israeli soldier concentrations in multiple locations. A gathering near Rashaf was targeted at 2:40 p.m. with artillery and a missile launcher, while another troop concentration near the Deir Saryan River was engaged at 2:45 p.m. with an attack helicopter.

An additional soldier gathering in Al-Quzah was targeted at 3:20 p.m. with artillery shells, followed by a second strike on the same position at 3:45 p.m. using a strike helicopter.

In a separate incident, Hezbollah stated that at 4:15 p.m., its forces responded to an Israeli helicopter operating over the airspace of Bayyada with a surface-to-air missile, resulting in the Israeli aircraft withdrawing from the area.
