The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah announced early Monday that its fighters thwarted two separate Israeli infiltration attempts into Lebanese territory.

In a statement, Hezbollah confirmed that its Resistance fighters on Sunday at 11:45 PM engaged with missiles an Israeli military force attempting to infiltrate into Lebanese territory in the Wadi Qatmoun area opposite the village of Rmeish, achieving direct hits.

Later, in a separate statement, the Resistance mentioned that its fighters detonated on Monday at 12:15 AM a large explosive device against an Israeli force from the Golani Brigade attempting to infiltrate into Lebanese territory from the direction of "Khirbet Zar'it" opposite the town of Ramya.

It added that Hezbollah fighters then targeted the infiltrating Israeli force with several artillery shells, causing direct hits.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent pointed out that Israeli aircraft intensified their airstrikes Sunday on the areas where infiltration attempts were made, highlighting that the fighters of the Lebanese Islamic Resistance were vigilant and countered the Israeli attacks.

In addition, the Resistance said its fighters bombarded on Monday at 1:30 AM the Zar'it barracks and its vicinity with artillery weapons.

Earlier on Sunday, Hezbollah fighters carried out six operations against Israeli occupation forces and military sites on the border with occupied Palestine.

The operations were as follows:

Eastern Sector:

At 11:20 AM, Resistance fighters hit the surveillance system at the "Metula" site with appropriate weapons and achieved a direct hit.

At 1:40 PM, and after precise monitoring, Hezbollah fighters engaged an Israeli military force opposite the village of al-Wazzani with appropriate weapons, inflicting direct hits on the force. According to the statement, this prompted the Israeli occupation forces to launch smoke shells to cover the evacuation operation of the dead and wounded soldiers with helicopters.

At 2:30 PM, Resistance fighters bombarded the al-Samaqa site in the occupied Lebanese Kfar Shuba Hills with rocket weapons and achieved a direct hit.

At 7:00 PM, Resistance fighters bombarded the deployment of Israeli occupation soldiers in Mount Nothor with rocket weapons and caused a direct hit.

At 9:45 PM, Resistance fighters engaged an Israeli mechanized force in the vicinity of the al-Malikiyah site with several artillery shells and achieved a direct hit.

It is noteworthy that in all of its statements, Hezbollah reiterates that its operations come in support of the steadfast Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and their brave and honorable Resistance.
