The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah continued Thursday targeting Israeli military sites and settlements in support of the Palestinian people in Gaza and the Palestinian Resistance, as well as in response to the Israeli occupation's attacks on Lebanese villages and civilian homes in southern the country's south.
The Islamic Resistance issued a brief statement announcing that its fighters targeted the Israeli settlement of "Kiryat Shmona" with dozens of Katyusha rockets as an initial response to the massacres in Nabatieh and al-Sawaneh.
Furthermore, the fighters of the resistance targeted the Samaqa site with missiles, with several direct hits confirmed.
The Islamic Resistance also declared that its fighters, using suitable weapons, attacked espionage equipment at the Marj, al-Raheb, and al-Naqoura locations in addition to the Ruweisat al-Alam site in the occupied Lebanese Shebaa Farms.
Earlier today, the Islamic Resistance had targeted the Zebdin barracks in the occupied Shebaa Farms with a guided missile.
Al Mayadeen's correspondent in the south reported that the death toll of martyrs and wounded in the raid targeting a residential area in the city of Nabatieh in southern Lebanon had risen to eight martyrs and seven wounded, with searches for missing persons ongoing.
The correspondent confirmed that the toll of today's Israeli attacks on Lebanon has reached 11 civilian martyrs so far.
On Wednesday evening, the official Lebanese News Agency announced the martyrdom of members of the Berjawi family in an Israeli raid on a residential apartment in the city of Nabatieh, southern Lebanon. The report explained that the raid targeted a residential apartment in a building in the center of Nabatieh, with a guided missile. This destroyed the apartment and caused major cracks in the building, which was on the verge of collapse.
This comes after reports that Israeli occupation drones have breached Lebanese airspace and conducted airstrikes deep within the city of Nabatieh. Footage circulating on social media captured the aftermath of the Israeli occupation's airstrikes on residential areas, revealing the destruction and prompting urgent responses from civil defense teams.
The strikes were launched by an Israeli unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and targeted a residential building in a neighborhood located at the center of Nabatieh, as circulated on social media. The Lebanese security forces took swift action, evacuating the targeted building amid concerns about structural integrity.
Israeli strikes killed seven civilians from the same family
The Israeli occupation military launched a series of airstrikes across several regions of southern Lebanon, resulting in the martyrdom of 10 civilians in total, including a mother and her two children.
The aggressions targeted the Lebanese villages of Souaneh, Adshit, and Chehabiyeh.
The attacks on civilian homes came after the resistance carried out a significant operation earlier this morning, including a missile attack near the Israeli Northern Command headquarters in Safad, northern occupied Palestine. This marked the second strike against "Israel's" most vital military base in the North since October 2023.
Israeli media reported that at least 10 missiles were launched toward Israeli military bases and sites, killing an Israeli soldier and injuring 7 others.
Sirens were triggered in many settlements in the North, including "Netu'a", Upper occupied al-Jalil ("Galilee"), and Safad.
Israeli media stated that 8 missiles were launched toward Safad this morning with one hitting a building in the city. Safad's mayor announced that "Missiles did not fall inside the city, rather struck bases around it."
In a significant development, Israeli media said the missiles used by the Resistance to target Safad were probably precision missiles, emphasizing that the Iron Dome had failed to intercept them all.
