Hezbollah launches series of operations against Israeli military sites
The Hezbollah movement in Lebanon has announced a new series of military operations targeting Israeli occupation sites and troops.
These actions were described as being in support of the "steadfast Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and their brave and honorable Resistance," and in response to ongoing Israeli attacks on southern Lebanese villages and civilian homes.
According to Hezbollah's statement, the operations began at 1:15 p.m. on Friday when its fighters targeted a bunker housing Israeli soldiers at the Birket Risha site using guided weapons. The attack reportedly resulted in direct hits and confirmed casualties among the Israeli forces.
Later, at 2:40 p.m., Hezbollah forces launched a rocket attack on Israeli soldiers near the Metat barracks, achieving what the group described as a "precise hit."
Further actions took place at 4:30 p.m., with Hezbollah fighters targeting Israeli soldiers near the Jal al-Deir site with Falaq rockets, again claiming a direct hit on the intended targets.
Hezbollah also reported an attack on the al-Assi site using artillery shells, which they claim resulted in direct hits on Israeli military positions.
In response to Israeli assaults on southern Lebanese towns and villages, Hezbollah stated that it had targeted buildings used by Israeli soldiers in the Netua settlement with "appropriate weapons," though the specific type of weapons was not disclosed.
Additionally, Hezbollah confirmed the launch of an aerial attack using a swarm of one-way drones on the headquarters of the armored battalions of the 188th Brigade in the Revaya barracks, located in the occupied Syrian Golan. The group claimed that the drones struck positions occupied by Israeli officers and soldiers, resulting in confirmed casualties.
Later in the day, Hezbollah forces reportedly targeted buildings used by Israeli soldiers in the Metulla settlement with unnamed weapons. The group stated that this attack was in response to Israeli actions against southern Lebanese villages, particularly Kfar Kila.
At 10:50 p.m., Hezbollah concluded the day's operations by targeting Israeli artillery emplacements in al-Zaoura with artillery rockets. (ILKHA)
