The Hamas Resistance movement condemned "Israel's blatant" aggression against Lebanon, and stressed that it continues to stand in solidarity with the "brotherly Lebanese people."

In a statement issued Friday at dawn, the movement considered that the targeting of the Tyre perimeter by the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) "reflects the brutality of the occupation leadership and its policies threatening security and peace in the region."

The League of Arab States, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and the United Nations also called for "urgent action to stop the occupation's crimes and arrogance."

The movement's statement came hours after the Israeli aggression against Lebanon, which targeted the Qlaileh Plain which is located between the Ras al-Ayn Plain and the Palestinian Refugee Camp of Rashidiya.

Al Mayadeen correspondent confirmed that three Israeli missiles landed south of the city of Tyre, two of them in agricultural areas and another in the Qlaileh Plain, noting that the Israeli aggression did not result in significant casualties.

Earlier, the Israeli occupation military said 34 rockets were launched on Thursday from southern Lebanon on occupied Al-Jalil.

The occupation said the Iron Dome air security system intercepted 25 of the projectiles, adding that at least five rockets landed in occupied Palestinian lands.

The Times of Israel highlighted that the attack "may mark the largest number of rockets fired from Lebanon" since the July 2006 war.
