The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah carried out a series of critical operations targeting multiple Israeli positions and military assets, inflicting significant losses and damage on Israeli forces, sites, and equipment. the Islamic Resistance's fighters continue operating across several fronts, launching rocket barrages deep into occupied territories and engaging invading Israeli forces on the border from point-blank. 

On Friday, within its Khaybar series of operations, and under the call of "Labbayk ya Nasrallah" [here we respond to your call, O Nasrallah], the Islamic Resistance announced the targeting of the Karmiel military base, located south of Haifa with a barrage of high-end rockets. 

The Resistance fighters also deployed a swarm of one-way assault drones toward the al-Baghdadi military site, confirming direct hits. 

The Lebanese Resistance also carried out several oeprations targeting Israeli soldier groupings across several positions and sites. On the Lebanese southern border, Hezbollah bombarded Israeli occupation soldiers in the Manara, Malikiyah, and Habushit military sites with rocket barrages. 

A grouping of Israeli soldiers on the outskirts of the town of Marwahin was also bombarded with two guided missiles, resulting in confirmed casualties. In the same area, an Israeli Merkava tank was directly hit with a guided missile, setting it ablaze and confirming fatalities and injuries among its crew.

In Safad, a subsequent salvo was launched and air defense units of the Islamic Resistance intercepted a Hermes 450 drone over Nabatiyeh, forcing it to retreat from Lebanese airspace. Shortly thereafter, a guided missile destroyed a Merkava tank near the Misgav Am site, leaving its crew either dead or injured. This was followed by the targeting of another Merkava tank along the Marjayoun-Odaisseh road, also resulting in its destruction and casualties among its crew. An accompanying Israeli force was forced to withdraw to the Abbad site under sustained Resistance fire. 

A squadron of drones launched targeted the Filon base, a critical Israeli facility hosting emergency stores and the 36th and 210th brigades. The drones hit their targets with precision, inflicting serious damage. Meanwhile, two Merkava tanks on the outskirts of Odaisseh were struck with guided missiles, causing the tanks to catch fire and resulting in deaths and injuries among Israeli personnel.

Israeli forces advancing towards Houla with a Merkava tank were ambushed by the Resistance, which employed guided missiles, machine guns, and rocket-propelled grenades. The ambush resulted in the destruction of the tank and further casualties among the advancing Israeli forces. Concurrently, a separate barrage of rockets struck another grouping of Israeli forces on the outskirts of Houla.

The Resistance continued its operations by targeting a Zionist force of 12 soldiers on the outskirts of Odaisseh with a guided missile, causing confirmed injuries. Shortly afterward, a Hummer vehicle carrying four soldiers arrived to support the wounded troops but was immediately targeted by another guided missile, causing additional fatalities and injuries.

Further strikes ensued, with the Resistance targeting an Israeli artillery position in Nafah Ze'ev with a salvo, followed by artillery shells landing at the Manara site and another salvo directed at Safad. Near Kfar Kila's Wazzani area, an Israeli force of four soldiers stationed by a vehicle was struck, resulting in casualties. A second nearby Israeli force of three soldiers was subsequently hit, also resulting in casualties.

Sirens deafen the north

Israeli media reported earlier today the launch of five rockets from Lebanon toward the occupied city of Haifa, with one rocket crashing in Kiryat Yam, north of Haifa. Sirens also sounded north of Tabarayya Lake amid fears of a drone infiltration. 

Sirens also sounded in the southern occupied Golan, as well as in Caesarea, Binyamina, and their surroundings south of Haifa, in addition to the industrial area between Akka and Krayot.

In western al-Jalil, alarm sirens sounded, with Israeli media reporting incidents in Dishon, al-Malikiyah, Aalma, Zar'it, and Shomera, as well as settlements like Kfar Nahum, Hof Amnon, and Tabha in upper al-Jalil.

Israeli media confirmed that since morning, "the bombardment has not stopped, with casualties and attempts to rescue those injured under Hezbollah's fire." They referred to what they described as a "preliminary and difficult report," stating that "Hezbollah shelled Misgav Am, where a group of soldiers was positioned."

Shomera joins the list: Another tough incident

The Israeli occupation announced a state of emergency at the Nahariya Hospital due to a difficult security incident in Shomera.

Israeli media confirmed a direct injury in the settlement after rockets launched by Hezbollah landed in the area, resulting in the wounding of Israeli soldiers. Details indicated that the rockets hit a soldier grouping taking shelter in what they considered a "fortified bunker". 

Israeli army helicopters transported several injured individuals, four of whom were in critical condition.

After the Israeli military acknowledged the deaths of five additional soldiers and injuries to others in ground battles along the southern Lebanese border, Israeli media reported that "Hezbollah is using precision munitions to target the locations of Israeli forces in South Lebanon."
