Lebanese resistance movement pounds Israeli military positions
TEHRAN - The Israeli military has suffered casualties after Hezbollah waged one of its largest bombardments against the occupation’s army since October.
The ongoing attacks follow the assassination of one of Hezbollah’s top commanders on Wednesday, Mohammad Nehme Nasser, (Hajj Abu Nehme) and in solidarity with the people and resistance forces in Gaza.
The Israeli military admitted the death of an officer in the Yiftah armored brigade’s 8679th unit. Other Israeli troops sustained injuries, in the same incident, after a rocket-artillery shell landed in an Israeli base in the occupied Golan.
Israeli reports also confirmed serious injuries among soldiers after a military vehicle was hit by shelling from Lebanon.
Hebrew news outlets have been reporting attacks in several Israeli cities across the north, which has come under a heavy barrage of Hezbollah rockets and drones.
Hezbollah issued a statement saying its fighters are targeting “Israeli occupation sites along the Lebanese-Palestinian border, causing direct casualties.”
The Lebanese resistance movement announced that it had attacked an Israeli espionage center “with appropriate weapons, confirming direct hits”.
Hezbollah fighters also targeted a building used by occupation soldiers in the Adamit settlement with “appropriate weapons”, causing it to catch fire and resulting in fatalities and injuries among those inside.
The formidable resistance movement has shared footage of its retaliatory operations targeting barracks and bases belonging to the Israeli army in the Israeli-occupied Syrian Golan Heights as well as Israeli settlements in the north.
“These operations support our steadfast Palestinian people in Gaza and reinforce their courageous and honorable resistance against Israeli aggression on resilient southern villages and safe homes,” a Hezbollah statement read.
Hezbollah fighters targeted a site in Beit Lid using a Burkan (volcanic) rocket, and they have also reportedly hit the al-Mughar site in the district of Haifa with the same rocket that carries a heavy warhead, also causing “direct hits”.
In another statement published on Hezbollah’s Telegram account, the resistance movement said it targeted the Roisat al-Alam area in the Israeli-occupied Kfarchouba hills of Lebanon with another heavy rocket, causing fires and destruction to parts of the region.
On Thursday, the southern Lebanese resistance movement declared its fighters had struck multiple Israeli sites with more than 200 rockets and nearly two-dozen drones, following the assassination of Nasser in the Lebanese city of Tyre.
The resistance group added that this operation targeted five Israeli military sites including the newly-established headquarters of the 91st Division in the Ayelet barracks.
The headquarters of the 7th armored brigade in Katsavia Barracks, the armored battalion of the 7th Brigade in the Gamla barracks, the 210th Division (Golan Division) in Nafah Base, and the Artillery Regiment of Yarden barracks’ 210th Division were also targeted, according to Hezbollah statements.
