Hezbollah forces Israeli jet to retreat, strikes Rafael-linked plant
In a series of operations, the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon targeted Israeli forces and positions on Wednesday in support of Gaza and in response to the aggression on Lebanese civilians and towns and to the assassination in the southern town of Jwaya.
Hezbollah announced earlier today that the Israeli occupation targeted a building in Jwaya in southern Lebanon late Tuesday, leading to the martyrdom of Talib Sami Abdallah (Abu Talib) and three of his companions on the path to al-Quds: Mohammad Sabra (Baqer), Ali Soufan (Koumayl), and Hussein Hmayyid (Sajed).
The Resistance identified the martyr as Bahij Mohammad Hijazi (Hadi), born in 1981 and from the city of Haris, South Lebanon.
In the fourth operation of its kind ever, all of which were conducted in the past week, Hezbollah said it launched an air-to-surface missile toward an Israeli warplane over southern Lebanon, forcing it to retreat to northern occupied Palestine.
The operation indicates that the Resistance is moving to establish a new equation regarding the Israeli violation of Lebanese airspace.
In today's statements, the Resistance revealed that out of 19 operations in total on Wednesday, 15 were in response to the assassination and the civilian casualties resulting from the Israeli aggression.
