The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah attacked groupings of Israeli occupation troops, Israeli military sites, and buildings in settlements appropriated for military use across northern occupied territories on Friday.

Hezbollah fighters attacked a grouping of Israeli occupation forces positioned near the Metulla military site, dealing confirmed hits to the intended targets at 9:40 am (local time).

The Resistance also responded to a series of Israeli strikes on Lebanese towns, attacking the 769th Territorial Brigade's headquarters in Kiryat Shmona, via a barrage of Grad-type rockets, responding to a strike on the town of Hanaouay.

Hezbollah's Unammed Air Force launched a swarm of suicide drones at the headquarters of one of the 300th Territorial Brigade's battalions in the coastal Liman settlement. The drones impacted the positions of Israeli officers and soldiers, causing confirmed casualties among them. The Islamic Resistance said that the attack came in response to Israeli strikes that targeted al-Naqoura and Hanaouay.

In the context of Hezbollah's retaliation for strikes on the two towns, fighters fired a salvo of Falaq-type rocket artillery shells at the 769th Territorial Brigade's headquarters, marking the second attack of the day that targeted the site in Kiryat Shmona.

Responding to strikes on Kfar Kila and Aita al-Shaab, Hezbollah fighters attacked several buildings used by occupation forces in Kiryat Shmona, dealing a direct hit to the targets.

The Resistance launched yet another operation in response to Israeli attacks on Lebanese towns, targeting a building in the Manara settlement. Another building was attacked in the same settlement at a later time.

At 1:25 pm, the Resistance attacked the al-Summaqah military site in the Israeli-occupied Lebanese Kfar Chouba hills, confirming direct hits to the intended targets.

The Resistance also attacked several buildings in the Dovev settlement, as it continued to respond to Israeli aggression against Lebanese towns and civilians.

Hezbollah, al-Qassam mourn martyrs

In the meantime, Hezbollah mourned two of its fighters on the path of al-Quds, including martyr Mahdi Mahmoud Qsaibani and martyr Hadi Jihad Dib.

Martyr Qsaibani, "Siraj", was born in 1994 in the southern Lebanese town of Harouf. Martyr Dib, "Haidar", was born in 1997 in the town of Bafliyeh and was a resident of the town of Debaal in South Lebanon.

An Israeli drone also struck a vehicle on the outskirts of the city of Siada on Friday.

The strike targeted a commander in Hamas' al-Qassam Brigades' Lebanon branch, Samer al-Hajj, "Abu Mahmoud".

Originally martyr al-Hajj is from the town of al-Samiriyah in the Akka governorate in occupied Palestine, however, his family was forcibly displaced by Zionist gangs and relocated to the Ain al-Helwe refugee camp near Saida.
