The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah - pounded the Sa'ar and the Gesher HaZiv settlements in the occupied North, with tens of Grad-type rockets during the early morning hours of Wednesday.

Hezbollah stated that the operation came in support of the people of Palestine and their brave Resistance and in response to the horrific massacre committed by the Israeli occupation in the southern Lebanese village of Umm al-Tout, which killed three Syrian children, on Tuesday.

Israeli media reported on the operations, noting that this would be the second time tonight by which Hezbollah launched barrages of rockets against the occupied North.

They further described the ambiance as "uncalm" across the northern settlements, with sirens "unusually" sounding in Nahariya and its surrounding settlements since 2:32 a.m.

Israeli media said Hezbollah has warned the occupation of what it has in store in the upcoming hours and days, noting that at least 200 rockets should be expected in the next 24 hours.

'Israel' escalates aggression on Lebanon

This comes in continuation of Hezbollah's daily operations against the Israeli occupation as it escalates aggression against Lebanon, specifically the Lebanese South.

In addition to the attack that killed three children in Umm al-Tout, Israeli occupation forces fired multiple shells toward Lebanese border towns on Tuesday, including white phosphorus shells.

Deir Meimas and Kfar Kila were shelled multiple times by Israeli artillery with these prohibited weapons.

Israeli artillery also attacked the towns of Bani Hayan, Aita al-Shaab, Ramiyah, Jabal Blat, Blida, Houla, and Yohmor.

An Israeli drone launched two strikes on a motorbike traveling from al-Khardali to Kfartibnit.

On Tuesday night Israeli war jets raided the towns of Aita al-Shaab and Aitaroun, while artillery units shelled al-Salhani, Ramiyah, and Teir Harfa.

Israeli authorities and military leaders continue to threaten war on Lebanon, while Hezbollah remains steadfast in its support of the Palestinian people and its defense of Lebanese civilians.
