The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah announced Tuesday that its fighters attacked several Israeli positions in northern occupied Palestine in support of the Palestinian Resistance in Gaza.

Hezbollah's fighters attacked the Israeli al-Marj position with artillery shells before striking an Israeli assembly point in the Karantina Hill and inflicting paramount losses on the Israeli occupation forces. Another assembly point was bombarded in the vicinity of the Raheb military site.

The Resistance also attacked an Israeli position in Ruweisat al-Qarn in the occupied Shebaa farms with a precision-guided missile.

Earlier in the day, the Islamic Resistance said its fighters attacked the al-Raheb site with rockets and artillery shells.

Israeli media reported Saturday that Hezbollah has expanded its offensive capabilities since the beginning of the war, both in terms of the range it can reach and the tools it uses.

Alon Ben David, a military affairs analyst on the Israeli Channel 13, suggested that "Hezbollah is learning from the weaknesses it had at the beginning of the fighting," pointing out that the Lebanese Resistance group's activation of drones poses a significant challenge to the detection systems of the Israeli Air Force.

He also noted that some of Hezbollah's drones have a "radar signature" similar to that of a "swan", making them "very difficult" for the Israeli detection systems to identify and pinpoint them.

The analyst also addressed the number of Israeli casualties in the north of occupied Palestine, claiming that since the beginning of the war, 20 Israelis have been killed, with four killed in the last two weeks, adding that with such figures, "Israel" is paying "a hefty price."

"Nothing is comfortable for us, and Hezbollah reads the situation correctly, understanding that in light of the war in Gaza, Israel does not have the capacity to engage in a second battle in a decisive manner in the north," Ben David indicated.

He expressed a belief that until the end of the war on Gaza, "Israel" will not engage in a battle in the north, adding that Hezbollah is also analyzing the decisions of the Israeli leadership, which, according to Ben David, "is not very enthusiastic about solving the problems in the north."
