Hezbollah announced on Sunday successfully targeted a Merkava tank in the "Al-Rahheb" Israeli occupation military site using anti-tank guided missiles.  

In a statement, the Lebanese Resistance group confirmed that the tank was hit directly, resulting in casualties among the crew.

The Israeli occupation army confirmed the operation.

This is the second consecutive targeting that Hezbollah claimed responsibility for on the same day.

Earlier today, an Israeli military outpost located in the settlement of "Shtula" near the Lebanese border was targeted by the Resistance faction with anti-tank guided missiles.

In a statement, Hezbollah said that the operation came in response to the Israeli aggression on a team of journalists on Friday in southern Lebanon, which led to the martyrdom of Lebanese Reuters reporter Issam Abdallah and the wounding of others of his colleagues, the statement said, adding that It is also in response to the Israeli shelling on a civilian home in Shebaa, which resulted in the martyrdom of two elderly Lebanese civilians: Khalil Ali Hashem and Rabab Al-Aaqoum.
