The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah conducted a series of operations on Thursday, in support of the Palestinian people and their Resistance in the Gaza Strip.

Initially, Hezbollah's Unmanned Air Force attacked the al-Marj military site, near the Lebanese-Palestinian border, via a suicide drone which directly hit a grouping of Israeli occupation forces, causing confirmed casualties among them.

The operation was followed by artillery shelling of the al-Malikiyah military site at 3:10 pm (local time) and an attack on the Roueisat al-Aalam military site in the occupied Lebanese Kfar Chouba Hills at 4:35 pm.

The second attack saw Hezbollah fighters destroy spyware installed on the Roueisat al-Aalam site.

Meanwhile, an Israeli drone conducted an airstrike over the towns of Yarin and Jibine in South Lebanon, targeting a vehicle traveling along the road connecting the two towns.

Israeli artillery also shelled the outskirts of Shebaa, opposite the occupied Kfar Chouba Hills.

At 5:00 pm, warning sirens went off in Gesher HaZiv, Shlomi, and the Israeli coastal settlement of Nahariyya. A number of rocket artillery shells impacted an unspecified area between Shlomi and Nahariyya, Israeli media outlets reported.

A few minutes later, at 5:11 pm sirens sounded again in Ya'ara, Shlomi, and Metzuba, and were recorded again at 5:12 pm.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that three salvos of rocket artillery shells were fired toward the occupied Western al-Jalil on Thursday afternoon.

Hezbollah continues to support the Palestinian people by attacking Israeli assets across northern occupied territories for a period of 305 days. In the meantime, Israeli occupation forces and settlers await the Islamic Resistance's response to the assassination of leader martyr Fouad Shokor, who was assassinated in the Southern Suburbs of Beirut on July 30.

The Israeli occupation also anxiously prepares for an anticipated retaliatory strike by the Islamic Republic of Iran, following its assassination of Hamas leader martyr Ismail Haniyeh.
