The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah announced on Saturday carrying out a number of operations against Israeli targets in northern occupied Palestine.

In a series of statements, the group reiterated that the operations are in support of "our resilient Palestinian people in Gaza and their courageous and honorable Resistance."

Hezbollah said it conducted the first operation at 11:20 am, targeting the Israeli al-Assi military site, facing the Lebanese village of Mays al-Jabal, using appropriate weapons and confirming direct hits.

At noon, the party's Resistance fighters targeted the Birket Risha site using appropriate weapons, the statement read, adding that the strikes achieved direct hits.

Another gathering of occupation soldiers in Tayhat Hill was targeted at almost 3:00 pm. The group's statement said the attack was carried out using rockets and confirmed direct hits.

Responding to Israeli aggressions on southern Lebanese towns and villages, the last of which was on Yarin, and in continued support of Gaza, Hezbollah announced striking the "Shtula" settlement using appropriate weapons, confirming that the operation resulted in the damage of one of its buildings.

Conducting operation number 7 at 4:00, the Islamic Resistance said its fighters targeted the Roueissat al-Alam military site in the occupied Lebanese Shebaa Farms. Hezbollah said the attack was carried out using rockets, confirming direct hits.
