European security sources told the Al-Mayadeen news network that the August 25 Hezbollah strike at the Glitot base in Unit 8200 and the Ein Shemer base was a great success.
The sources, whose exact nature was not revealed by the Lebanon-based pan-Arab news agency, said that dozens of Israeli military and intelligence personnel were killed in the attacks.
According to the sources, 22 Israelis were killed and 74 wounded in these two military bases.
Though the information was not confirmed by other sources, the breaking news coincided with the resignation today of Brigadier General Yossi Sariel of Unit 8200.
Israel claims that Sariel’s resignation is linked to the intelligence failure of October 7.
However, some military analysts suggest that the decision to push Sariel out might be linked to a more recent event, namely Hezbollah’s retaliatory attack on Israel on August 25.
