JAKARTA - Lebanese Hezbollah released a nearly 10-minute video showing footage of 17 military facilities in Israel's occupied Syrian Golan Heights. Monitoring uses Hezbollah reconnaissance aircraft.

The video is the second episode of a series meant to show the extent to which Hezbollah's surveillance of Israel has peaked as tensions escalated as Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza and frequent exchanges of fire on the Lebanese border with Israel.

The group allied with Iran published a more than nine-minute video in June that it said was footage of site surveillance in Israel, including the Haifa city airport and seaport.

The publication of this video sends a clear message to its enemies and soldiers, said Hezbollah media relations officer Muhammad Afif.

"It is important to show our technical and technological capabilities in the field of supervision and obtain the important information we need in times of war," Afif continued.

Lebanese pro-Iran television channel Al Mayadeen said in June, after the first video was published, the drone passed through Israel's defense system and returned to Lebanon undetected or shot down.

Hezbollah has delivered reconnaissance and strike drones to Israel since the start of the Israel-Hamas war last October, and said the drone launch was a form of solidarity with Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
