In a rare statement, Hamas' al-Qassam Brigades announced on Saturday the launching of a rocket barrage from Lebanon targeting an Israeli military site in northern occupied Palestine.
The Palestinian Resistance group said it targeted with rockets the command headquarters of the 300th Shomera Brigade in the western sector of Upper Galilee "in response to the Zionist massacres against civilians in the Gaza Strip."
Meanwhile, Hezbollah continued operations in support of the people in Gaza and their Resistance.
The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon announced on Saturday targeting the settlement of Dafna for the first time since the beginning of the war in response to the Israeli aggression on the town of Burj al-Mlouk in southern Lebanon, which resulted in several injuries.
Following repeated Israeli killings of civilians in southern Lebanon, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah announced on Wednesday that for every attack on civilians, Hezbollah would strike new Israeli settlements not yet attacked. Since then, the Resistance has attacked with rocket salvos at least four new settlements, prompting many Israelis to start to consider evacuating, exacerbating the entity's northern settlers' crisis.
Hezbollah said in a statement that Dafna has now officially become part of its fighters' target bank.
In another operation, the group said its fighters targeted a gathering of Israeli occupation soldiers near the al-Manara site with artillery shells, confirming that direct hits were achieved.
At 5:17 pm, the Zibdin Israeli military base was struck by Hezbollah with rocket weaponry. The Resistance said that it scored accurate hits.
On Friday, Hezbollah conducted 16 military operations against Israeli occupation sites and forces along the Palestinian-Lebanese borders.
Three settlements came for the first time under Resistance fire: Abirim, Neveh Ziv, and Manot.
Hezbollah also introduced the Wabel IRAM (improvised rocket-assisted munition), which was used to target an Israeli military base near the Lebanese-Palestinian border.
