Earlier today, the Islamic Resistance also announced successfully targeting spy and surveillance hardware in the Israeli al-Abbad military base using appropriate weapons.

On the other hand, our corresponded reported that Israeli occupation warplanes and artillery units conducted several strikes on different areas in south Lebanon, including Naqoura, the outskirts of Tayr Harfa,  Aitaroun, and Halta, among other towns and villages.

Hezbollah and other Resistance factions have intensified their operations against Israeli occupation military bases along the Lebanese-Palestinian border and occupied Lebanese territories. These operations come in support of Gaza and its Resistance, who are currently confronting a brutal Israeli bombardment and invasion, which has so far resulted in over 9,000 martyrs in the Strip, most of whom are women and children.
