In constant support for the steadfast people of Palestine in the Gaza Strip and the Palestinian Resistance, the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah - carried out several operations engaging Israeli sites and soldier gatherings across the Lebanese-Palestinian border. 

In a brief statement, Hezbollah announced that its fighters intercepted an infiltrating Israeli drone using the appropriate weapons and forced it to withdraw to occupied northern Palestine. 

Hezbollah conducted six other operations against the Israeli sites of Zebdine and Rouseissat al-Qarn in the occupied Lebanese Shebaa Farms, the al-Baghdadi military site, and three Israeli occupation forces gatherings in the vicinity of the occupied Lebanese town of Hounin, the "Karantina" Hill, and "Mont Nézer".

Hezbollah challenging Iron Dome

Hezbollah challenged the effectiveness of the Iron Dome by launching a barrage of large rockets toward "Kiryat Shmona", Israeli Channel 12 reported a few days earlier.

The objective behind this act is to increase the number of rockets that surpass the Iron Dome's interception capabilities, thereby preventing the return of settlers to northern occupied Palestine.

Military commentator Nir Dvori from Israeli Channel 12 noted that Hezbollah's firing of a salvo of 30 rockets towards "Kiryat Shmona" on Tuesday was not aimed at Israeli settlers or military personnel. Instead, Dvori suggests that Hezbollah is attempting to test the limits of the Iron Dome's capabilities.

Dvori points out that the resistance in Lebanon deliberately launches large salvos of rockets to overwhelm the Iron Dome's interception capabilities.

"When a large number of rockets is launched, it becomes challenging to track and intercept them," he explains.

Additionally, Dvori highlights that Hezbollah is also trying to pinpoint the locations of Iron Dome batteries and target them. This tactic could potentially damage air defense systems, hindering their ability to intercept rockets and thus preventing the return of settlers to the north.
