The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon, Hezbollah, executed several operations on Tuesday against targets belonging to the Israeli occupation forces along the border with occupied Palestine and its northern region. These operations were part of an ongoing support front for the Gaza Strip and its Resistance and were a response to Israeli aggressions against Lebanon.

Hezbollah announced that it had bombarded the air and missile defense headquarters in the Kela barracks with dozens of Grad rockets. This operation was in response to the assault and assassination carried out by the occupation in the southern town of Mayfadoun, South Lebanon.

Using artillery shells, the Resistance targeted a gathering of Israeli occupation soldiers at Tallet Al-Qarantina and another deployment of Israeli occupation soldiers at Abu Dajaj hill near the Zar'it barracks, achieving direct hits.

Additionally, the Resistance targeted the occupation sites of Roueissat al-Alam in the occupied Lebanese hills of Kfar Chouba with rocket-propelled weapons, achieving direct hits, and al-Marj with artillery shells, also achieving direct hits.

Earlier, the Resistance launched an aerial attack using a swarm of kamikaze drones, targeting the headquarters of the Golani Brigade and the Egoz 621 unit in the Sharaga barracks, north of occupied Acre, hitting their targets accurately and causing direct injuries.

This operation was in response to the assault and assassination carried out by the Israeli occupation in the town of Abba, as announced by the Resistance in its statement.

In another operation, Hezbollah executed an attack targeting an Israeli armored vehicle in the vicinity of the Roueissat al-Alam site with guided missiles, confirming a direct hit on the vehicle, resulting in its destruction and the crew being either killed or injured.

According to details provided by the Resistance in a statement, the targeting occurred when the vehicle reached the ambush point after being monitored by the fighters, who observed the occupation forces in the occupied Shebaa Farms.

Israeli acknowledges rise in casualties

Simultaneously with the Resistance operations, the Israeli occupation forces admitted that six of its soldiers were injured due to a drone explosion in western Al-Jalil. The unmanned aircraft's debris was scattered around the Kela base in northern Golan, according to Israeli media.

The Israeli occupation forces' spokesman also acknowledged injuries among Israelis settlers near Route 4, south of Nahariya, where an Israeli interceptor missile had fallen. Israeli media reported at least 19 injuries in this incident.

Commenting on the events in Nahariya, northern occupied Palestine, Israeli media noted that the settlers "live on medication and suffer from anxiety attacks."

They also reported the sounding of sirens in the settlements of Hila, Zarit, Even Menachem, Shomera, and Shetula in northern occupied Palestine.

In light of the ongoing Resistance operations and Hezbollah's awaited response to the assassination of its commander Sayyed Fouad Shokor (Sayyed Mohsen), statements from Israeli occupation officials continue to warn settlers, highlighting the paralysis affecting the Israeli Home Front.

Settlers under warning

In this context, the head of the regional council, Ma'ale Yosef, addressed the settlers, stating, "Non-essential activities should be reduced, stay close to protected areas, and avoid gatherings in open areas as much as possible."

Israeli media platforms called on settlers in occupied Haifa to prepare for any scenario, warning all settlements near the border with Lebanon, from Nahariya to the Golan, to stay close to "protected areas."

Similarly, the regional councils in the occupied Upper Galilee and Golan issued warnings.

The Kiryat Shmona municipality also asked settlers to stay near safe places and avoid gathering in open areas until further notice. Its governor, Avichai Stern, said that all settlers "sit in fear, waiting to see what will happen, and no one is asking when we will stop this equation."

He added, "Today, we are waiting for a ballistic missile attack from Iran, and next time we will wait for a nuclear or atomic attack," inciting what he called a "preemptive strike."

Meanwhile, the head of the Front Line in the North Settlements Forum criticized the Israeli occupation's political level performance in "Israel" towards the settlers in northern occupied Palestine, emphasizing that the settlers there "are neglected repeatedly, there are no protection rooms, and no answers from the government."
