Hezbollah announced a series of operations against Israeli assets in northern occupied territories, including a rocket attack on Iron Dome batteries, artillery positions, and parked military vehicles.

Late on Thursday afternoon, the Resistance fired several salvos of rockets toward the occupied Western al-Jalil, where several rockets impacted an area between Shlomi and Nahariya, according to Israeli media outlets.

Hezbollah's fourth operation on Thursday saw Resistance fighters fire multiple barrages of rockets, as per a statement released by its Military Media unit, near the Manot settlement. The Resistance aimed for Iron Dome batteries, artillery positions, and parked military vehicles in the occupied Western al-Jalil.

The attack came in response to an Israeli aggression on the town of Doueir.

Multiple large caliber Burkan rockets were then fired at the Zar'it barracks, which hosts a headquarters for a battalion of the 300th Territorial Brigade. The rockets were fired in response to an Israeli attack on the town of Majdal Zoun.

At 5:00 pm, the Resistance attacked al-Semmaqa military site in the Israeli-occupied Lebanese Kfar Chouba Hills, marking the second attack of the day on Israeli sites in the occupied territory.

The 91st Division's headquarters in the Biranit base also came under attack on Thursday, as Resistance fighters fired several Burkan rockets on the site, destroying yet another section in it, which caught fire.

Another barracks in Ramim was attacked at 7:40 pm and was dealt direct hits.

Hezbollah also mourned its fighter Hassan Aatef al-Sayyed (Gharib), born in 1978 in the town of Aitaroun in South Lebanon. Martyr al-Sayyed succumbed to his wounds after sustaining injuries on the battlefield at an earlier time.

Hezbollah drones hit grouping of Israeli troops

Earlier on Thursday, Hezbollah had announced another series of operations which started with an attack executed by its Unmanned Air Force.

The al-Marj military site, near the Lebanese-Palestinian border, was attacked via a suicide drone which directly hit a grouping of Israeli occupation forces, causing confirmed casualties among them.

The operation was followed by artillery shelling of the al-Malikiyah military site at 3:10 pm (local time) and an attack on the Roueissat al-Alam military site in the occupied Lebanese Kfar Chouba Hills at 4:35 pm.

The second attack saw Hezbollah fighters destroy spyware installed on the Roueissat al-Alam site.

Meanwhile, an Israeli drone conducted an airstrike over the towns of Yarin and Jibine in South Lebanon, targeting a vehicle traveling along the road connecting the two towns.

Israeli artillery also shelled the outskirts of Shebaa, opposite the occupied Kfar Chouba Hills.

Hezbollah continues to support the Palestinian people by attacking Israeli assets across northern occupied territories over 305 days. In the meantime, Israeli occupation forces and settlers await the Islamic Resistance's response to the assassination of leader martyr Fouad Shokor, who was assassinated in the Southern Suburbs of Beirut on July 30.

The Israeli occupation also anxiously prepares for an anticipated retaliatory strike by the Islamic Republic of Iran, following its assassination of Hamas leader martyr Ismail Haniyeh.
