The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah continues to strike Israeli occupation sites and military outposts across the Lebanese-Palestinian border, confirming casualties in at least one attack on Tuesday.

At 2:40 pm (local time), the Resistance launched two simultaneous operations targeting Israeli occupation forces in the "Birket Risha" military site and a number of soldiers mobilized at the al-Malikiyah military site, confirming direct hits to both targets.

It is worth noting that the sites are located around 25 km apart, underscoring Hezbollah's widespread presence across the southern border, despite 165 days of Israeli aggression on Lebanon.

Less than an hour later, the Islamic Resistance targeted an Israeli force in the vicinity of the al-Tahyat Hill in the occupied al-Jalil Panhandle, at 3:30 pm. Hezbollah fighters fired multiple artillery shells at the force only to launch another anti-tank guided missile at a Logistical Support vehicle and another group of Israeli soldiers just five minutes later. The guided missile directly hit the force, killing and injuring its crew, the Military Media confirmed on Tuesday.

Again, Hezbollah launched an attack on Israeli military forces to the south of the "Biranit" Barracks, at 4:30 pm, dealing direct hits to the intended target.

At 5:45, Hezbollah attacked the "Zar'it" settlement with a Falaq-1 rocket in response to Israeli attacks against Lebanese towns.

Just fifteen minutes later, Hezbollah launched an attack on the Roueissat al-Alam military site in Israeli-occupied Lebanese Kfar Chouba and then hit the same site at 6:15 pm, targeting a grouping of Israeli soldiers in the vicinity of the site, dealing direct hits.

Later on Tuesday night, Hezbollah fighters attacked the Israeli al-Marj military site, targeting a logistical support team that had been reconstructing the site's fortifications. Hezbollah fighters had previously attacked the site on multiple occasions, completely destroying it and putting it out of service.

On the other hand, Israeli occupation forces launched two airstrikes on the outskirts of Kfar Kila in South Lebanon, a strike on the coastal town of al-Naqoura, and strikes on the outskirts of Rub al-Thalatheen and Mays al-Jabal, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported.

Israeli settlers doubtful of return to the north

Earlier, an Israeli settler who recruited others to colonize the occupied Lebanese town of al-Malikiyah said that "no one is protecting" her and other settlers, doubting whether she would return when the war ends.

Sivan Shoshani Partush and other Israeli settlers lived in Kibbutz "Malkiya", over usurped Lebanese territories, where they built and expanded the colonial settlement, just 200 meters away from the line of Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon.

"There was fear, but I got over it, because that’s the choice I made, because someone was protecting me," Partush told the Associated Press. "But now there’s a feeling that no one is protecting us," she admitted.

Her statement comes after Israeli colonial outposts were outrun by Palestinian Resistance fighters on October 7 and as the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah continues to target Israeli occupation sites across the Lebanese-Palestinian border, undeterred by the Israeli aggression.
