The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon – Hezbollah announced on Friday a new series of military operations against Israeli sites and soldiers “in support of the steadfast Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and their brave and honorable Resistance and in response to the Israeli attacks on the steadfast southern villages and safe houses.”

Hezbollah’s operations came as follows:

The fighters of the Islamic Resistance bombed on Friday morning a positioning of Israeli occupation soldiers at the Metulla site with a guided missile, dealing a precise hit.

Later, Hezbollah’s fighters shelled the main base of the Northern Command’s air defense missile system in Berea Barracks with barrages of Katyusha rockets. The Resistance said the operation was in response to the Israeli assaults on southern Lebanese villages.

As part of the same response, the Lebanese Resistance group shelled the headquarters of the air and missile defense in Keila Barracks and the 188th Armored Brigade of the 36th Division at Aliqa Barracks also with barrages of Katyushas.

Al Mayadeen’s correspondent pointed out that the Aliqa base, which was targeted for the first time, is located north of Katzrin in the occupied Syrian Golan and is about 20 km away from the Lebanese-Palestinian border.

Moreover, Hezbollah shelled the headquarters of the rocket and artillery battalion at the Yoav Barracks, the Golan Brigade’s combat intelligence at the Yarden Barracks, and the Golan 210th Division in Nafah with volleys of Katyushas.

In addition, the Islamic Resistance bombed the newly established headquarters of the 91st Division in Ayelet HaShahar with a volley of Katyusha rockets.

Hezbollah also mourned its Resistance fighters martyrs Youssef Mohammad al-Sayyed “Naynawa” and Mohammad Ali Hassan al-Zein “Reda”, from the southern Lebanese towns of Beit Lif and Qabrikha respectively, who were martyred on the path to [liberate occupied] al-Quds.

Over 200 rockets launched from Lebanon

Israeli media confirmed that an anti-tank missile was launched toward Har Dov in the occupied Lebanese Shebaa Farms, reporting widespread sirens in northern occupied Palestine, particularly in Metulla.

According to the media, over 200 rockets were launched from Lebanon, targeting occupied al-Jalil, Safad, the occupied Golan Heights, and Mount Meron, with sirens sounding in more than 20 Israeli settlements.

Israeli media reported several injuries resulting from rocket explosions in the Ortal settlement in the northern occupied Golan Heights, following the launch of dozens of rockets from Lebanon.

Settlers in all areas of northern occupied Palestine heard the sounds of explosions due to the rocket fire, the media highlighted.

Moreover, they revealed that several rockets landed in the Safad area, leading to power outages and the outbreak of numerous fires in the region, where Israeli firefighting forces were prevented from responding to extinguish the fires due to concerns over additional rocket launches.

Meanwhile, the Israeli occupation continues its assaults on Lebanon, with Al Mayadeen’s correspondent confirming that the Israeli occupation forces targeted the outskirts of the southern town of Beit Lif.

Starting Thursday night through Friday, the occupation launched a series of airstrikes, described as the heaviest since October, targeting multiple areas in southern Lebanon.

The Israeli military claimed in a statement that it had struck approximately 100 Hezbollah launchers and additional infrastructure sites, “consisting of approximately 1000 barrels that were ready to be used in the immediate future.”

Our correspondent reported that the number of Israeli airstrikes in the south, which targeted the outskirts of several villages and towns, exceeded 50.

The airstrikes included forested areas in al-Mahmoudiyeh, the outskirts of al-Aaichiyeh, the al-Rihan heights, and the vicinity of the Berghoz River, according to Lebanese media.

Additionally, Al Mayadeen’s correspondent also noted that a series of Israeli airstrikes also targeted the Meidoun heights in Western Beqaa.
