TEHRAN- Despite the martyrdom of Hezbollah Secretary-General Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah continues to wage operations against the Israeli regime.
Like before the assassination of its leader, Hezbollah is issuing statements in support of the people of Gaza and resistance against Israel for its massive air raids on Lebanese towns.
It doesn’t appear to be any changes to the military strikes on Israeli sites.
This is while Israeli media has been reporting on the recruitment of asylum seekers to serve in the Israeli army.
The Haaretz newspaper reported that the Israeli Ministry of Interior plans to recruit asylum seekers into the army in exchange for granting them permanent residency.
Hezbollah continues to fire rockets at Israel despite the martyrdom of its secretary-general and senior commanders. It reported that estimates indicate that the Israeli army suffers from a shortage of about 10,000 soldiers while facing a multi-front war and exhaustion among the soldiers.
In a series of statements on Sunday, Hezbollah announced:
“In support of our steadfast Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and in backing their brave and honorable resistance, as well as in defense of Lebanon and its people, and in response to the barbaric Israeli assault on towns, villages, and civilians, the Islamic Resistance fighters hit the Sa'ar settlement with a rocket salvo, struck the movements of enemy soldiers in the Menara settlement with rocket weaponry and bombed the Ofak camp with a salvo of Fadi 1 rockets.”
A Hezbollah missile struck a settlement in the vicinity of occupied al-Quds (Jerusalem), resulting in a large blast and causing a blackout in several settlements.
A barrage of rockets was launched towards the Lower Galilee and the Western Galilee.
Throughout the day on Sunday, the “Israeli Home” Front Command warned of sirens sounding in regions such as the Lower Galilee.
Israeli media reported that five rockets fired from Lebanon landed in areas near Lake Tabarayya and that large explosions were heard.
In the 24 hours prior to Hezbollah’s statements on Sunday, the resistance movement published more than a dozen statements using the same terminology in announcing its operations against different Israeli military sites and settlements.
The Israeli aim of returning Israelis to the north does not look like it is anywhere close to being accomplished despite Hezbollah announcing the martyrdom of more senior commanders.
In contrast, the Lebanese resistance appears to have maintained its military structure and chain of command.
Experts say this is due to detailed planning by Hezbollah in the event its senior commanders are assassinated by Israel in an all-out war. The movement had already made plans on who to take control of its sophisticated military apparatus.
