Hezbollah launched a rocket attack on the Israeli occupation's "Kiryat Shmona" city built on the usurped Lebanese town of al-Khalisah in al-Jalil Panhandle, the Lebanese Resistance faction announced on Thursday.

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon said that its fighters launched tens of rockets toward the settlement at 4:00 pm on Thursday, in response to an Israeli strike that targeted a civil defense center of the Islamic Health Society in Hanin, South Lebanon in which two members of the humanitarian non-governmental organization (NGO) were martyred while others were wounded.

It was later revealed that two paramedics, Ali Mahmoud al-Sheikh Ali and Sajed Ramzi Qassem were martyred in the Israeli aggression.

Hezbollah's response to the attack led to at least seven casualties in "Kiryat Shmona", as reported by Israeli media outlets. The Resistance reiterated its commitment to respond swiftly to any Israeli violation against civilians in Lebanese territories.
