The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah - continues defending its homeland, Lebanon, and supporting Gaza and its steadfast Resistance against the ongoing, unrelenting Israeli aggression. 

On Sunday, Hezbollah carried out a series of operations, ranging from striking deep northern occupied territories to confronting Israeli incursions into Lebanon, and destroying Israeli enemy assets both at the border and in the occupied north. 

Operations overview

Long-range rocket attacks 

Hezbollah has been expanding the scope of its operations, deploying various weapons, rockets, and missiles against critical settlements in the occupied north, from Kiryat Shmona to Safad. 

Today's operations came as follows:

  • At 12:05 a.m., Hezbollah bombarded occupied Safad with a salvo of rockets. 
  • At 12:05 a.m., Hezbollah pounded the Rosh Pina settlement southeast of Safad with a salvo of rockets. 
  • At 5:00 a.m., Hezbollah targeted Kiryat Shmona with a salvo of rockets. 
  • At 12:30 p.m., the Filon base in Rosh Pina, east of the occupied city of Safad, which houses the headquarters of Brigade 210 and its warehouses in the northern region, was targeted with a large rocket salvo.

Targeting Israeli soldier positions

The Lebanese Resistance has previously vowed to escalate its operations, evidently seen with the consecutive and simultaneously coordinated rocket launches at Israeli soldier positions across the Lebanese-Palestinian border. 

This serves as deterrence against the so-called "limited Israeli ground operation" into Lebanon, as well as in support of Gaza and its Resistance. 

  • At 1:00 a.m., Hezbollah targeted an Israeli assembly point in the Katzrin settlement with a barrage of rockets.
  • At 9:30 a.m., Hezbollah bombarded an Israeli assembly point in the Saddana area in the occupied Lebanese Shebaa Farms with a rocket barrage. 
  • At 11:10 a.m., Hezbollah targeted an Israeli assembly point in the Ya'ara settlement with a large missile salvo. 
  • At 11:10 a.m., Hezbollah targeted an Israeli assembly point in the Shlomi settlement with a large barrage of rockets.
  • At 11:10 a.m., Hezbollah targeted an Israeli assembly point in the Adamit settlement with a large barrage of rockets.
  • At 12:55 p.m., Hezbollah targeted an Israeli assembly point in Ma'ale Golani with a rocket salvo. 
  • At 1:00 p.m., Hezbollah targeted an Israeli assembly point in Misgav Am with a rocket salvo. 

Hezbollah 'keeps fighting; conducts complex, deadly' operations

Since the Israeli invasion of southern Lebanon, Israeli occupation forces have faced a "flexible enemy" that has executed "complex" and "deadly" operations, the New York Times explained. This includes a barrage of rockets, swarms of one-way attack drones, and close-range battles that have killed multiple Israeli troops. 

Hezbollah's top-tier attacks are the "latest indication that Israel's swift escalation" has failed to disable the Resistance. 

Nicholas Blanford, a Hezbollah expert at The Atlantic Council, an international affairs think tank in Washington, spoke of Hezbollah's two decades of preparation for a possible war with the Israeli occupation.

He highlighted the group's flexible structure, tactical control, and the clarity of instructions previously handed to field commanders. According to the expert, these field commanders have a margin of autonomy, knowing that their main objective is to "hit the Israeli soldiers coming across the line."

Further highlighting the Resistance's capabilities, NYT, citing six Israeli military officials, said that Israeli troops have discovered that Hezbollah is "a formidable enemy."
