Hamas' al-Qassam Brigades in Lebanon launched large salvos of Grad-type artillery rockets aimed at two Israeli military sites in al-Jalil Panhandle on Wednesday morning. 

The Resistance faction said its fighters launched a total of 40 Grad-type rockets at the bases from South Lebanon. The targeted sites are the 769th Territorial Birgades' headquarters in "Kiryat Shmona", named "Camp Gibor" and the "Matar" Barracks near "Beit Hillel".

The operations come in response to Israeli massacres against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and the assassination of the leaders in the Southern Suburb of Beirut, a statement released by al-Qassam revealed.

Pictures circulating on social media highlighted the impact of a rocket on a building in "Kiryat Shmona", as Israeli occupation forces arrived at the scene to inspect the damage caused by a rocket's impact.

Continued response 

This is the second time that al-Qassam Brigades fighters have executed a rocket launch operation in response to the assassination of the late Deputy Chief of Hamas' Political bureau and Resistance leader martyr Sheikh Saleh al-Arouri and six other leaders and fighters in the Southern Suburb of Beirut, on January 2.

The first response occurred on January 16, when al-Qassam fighters launched 20 rockets from South Lebanon at an Israeli military base in "Liman" near the coast of northern occupied Palestine. At the time, the group also mourned its fighter, Walid Ahmad Hasanayn, who was martyred on the same day of the retaliatory attack.

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah also played a crucial role in responding to the attack, which not only led to the martyrdom of al-Arouri but also violated the security of the Southern Suburb of Beirut. In their own response, Hezbollah fighters launched a total of 62 guided-missile and rockets at the "Meron" Air Traffic Control Base, on the morning of January 6. The attack severely damaged the spyware and radar system equipment and was dubbed a top-tier operation, as the site is located on the highest point in 48' occupied Palestinian territories.
