The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah launched a series of operations that included the use of various weapons, including suicide drones, against Israeli occupation forces on Thursday.

The operations come in support of the Palestinian people and their Resistance in the Gaza Strip, as well as in response to Israeli attacks launched against civilians in South Lebanon.

At 11:00 am (local time), the Resistance targeted a temporary command and control post near the coastal "Liman" settlement with multiple artillery shells. In the afternoon, Hezbollah fighters launched six operations in less than 5 hours, dealing direct hits to occupation soldiers, artillery units, and sites across the Lebanese-Palestinian border.

Twenty minutes past noon, Hezbollah fighters targeted Israeli artillery units in al-Zaoura, located to the west of the occupied Golan Heights. At 2:50 pm, the group fired multiple rocket launchers at the "Avdon" settlement, which is located around 5 km away from the border. The operation came in response to Israeli attacks on the Lebanese town of al-Dhayrah, which led to the martyrdom of one civilian, the Military Media unit announced.

Just forty minutes later, and more than 60 km to the east of the previous operation, Hezbollah fighters directed two suicide drones toward the Israeli "Ma'ale Golan" Barracks in the occupied Golan Heights.

At 4:30 pm, the Resistance attacked a grouping of Israeli occupation soldiers in "Metulla", killing and injuring the members of the force. The Military Media explained that the operation came in response to Israeli attacks on the village of Aitaroun.

20 minutes later, Hezbollah attacked al-Radar military site in the Israeli-occupied Lebanese Shebaa Farms, dealing direct hits to the intended targets at the site.

At 5:00 pm, the group attacked the Roueissat al-Alam military site, which is located near the al-Radar military site in the Israeli-occupied Kfar Chouba Hills, dealing direct hits to the intended targets.

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon also mourned martyr Fadi Mahmoud Dawi, "Jihad", from Aitaroun on the path to al-Quds.

Top-tier weapons yet to be unleashed

Earlier on Tuesday, the head of the Loyalty to the Resistance Bloc in Lebanon, Member of Parliament Mohammad Raad, affirmed that the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon has not yet utilized all its weapons, stating that "the weapons of the great war have not yet been unleashed."

Raad explained that the Resistance adheres to "precise equations of deterrence imposed on the Israeli occupation, which attempts to evade the requirements of the status quo but cannot annul them."

"When you are strong in facing the Israeli enemy and have the means to demonstrate this capability, the other side will surrender, not the other way around," Raad highlighted. He said that "Israel" is not expanding the war into Lebanon because it is being forced to do so by the Resistance, which has underlined clear responses to breaches in the rules of engagement.

"Deviating from these rules would lead to a major catastrophe," the Hezbollah MP stressed.

"We exercise patience to avoid a devastating open war, [...] where the ultimate loser and [the one that will suffer a strategic loss] would be the Zionist enemy," Raad underscored.

Hezbollah has launched near-daily operations against Israeli occupation forces since October 8, amounting to more than 1,200 operations that have seen a wide array of Israeli targets being hit. The group's leader have made it crystal clear that Hezbollah fighters will continue to target Israeli sites and troops until the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip ends.
