In a series of intense operations, the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon targeted Israeli forces and positions on Wednesday in support of Gaza and in response to the aggression on Lebanese civilians and towns and to the assassination in the southern town of Jwaya. 

Hezbollah announced earlier today that the Israeli occupation targeted a building in Jwaya in southern Lebanon late Tuesday, leading to the martyrdom of Talib Sami Abdallah (Abu Talib) and three of his companions on the path to al-Quds: Mohammad Sabra (Baqer), Ali Soufan (Koumayl), and Hussein Hmayyid (Sajed).

In a statement it released later, Hezbollah announced, with "great pride and honor", the martyrdom of one of its members on the path to al-Quds, who succumbed to wounds he had sustained a few days ago.

The Resistance identified the martyr as Bahij Mohammad Hijazi (Hadi), born in 1981 and from the city of Haris, South Lebanon.

In the fourth operation of its kind ever, all of which were conducted in the past week, Hezbollah said it launched an air-to-surface missile toward an Israeli warplane over southern Lebanon, forcing it to retreat to northern occupied Palestine. 

The operation indicates that the Resistance is moving to establish a new equation regarding the Israeli violation of Lebanese airspace.

In today's statements, the Resistance revealed that out of 19 operations in total on Wednesday, 15 were in response to the assassination and the civilian casualties resulting from the Israeli aggression.

The retaliatory strikes were as follows:

The Resistance conducted an aerial attack using a squadron of one-way drones targeting the Habushit barracks, targeting the positions and accommodations of officers and soldiers and hitting the targets accurately.

In a top-tier operation, Hezbollah struck using guided missiles the Plasan military factory, belonging to Israeli Iron Dome producer Rafael Systems. Plasan specializes in manufacturing armor for military vehicles. The facility, located in the Sasa settlement, was directly hit.

In another operation, Hezbollah launched dozens of Katyusha rockets at the Northern Corps headquarters in the Ein Zeitim base, in addition to the Corps' reserve headquarters located in the Galilee Division in Ami'ad and a warehouse on site.

At 12:15 pm, the Resistance struck the surveillance equipment at the Roueissat al-Alam site in the Kfar Chouba hills with appropriate weapons, achieving a direct hit.

Moreover, at 2:15 pm, and after monitoring and tracking Israeli forces at the al-Malikiyya site, the Resistance targeted Israeli soldiers with artillery shells, achieving a direct hit, Hezbollah said.

At 5:30 pm, the Hanita site was hit with artillery shells launched by the Resistance, achieving a direct hit.

The Jal al-Allam base was struck with artillery at 5:35 pm, Hezbollah said, confirming that direct hits were achieved.

Hezbollah's complex operation

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon released on Wednesday footage of the operation targeting the newly established headquarters of the 146th Division of the occupation army east of Nahariya, which was conducted on June 10.

The three-minute video showed Hezbollah carrying out an aerial reconnaissance mission over the original headquarters before it was targeted. The drone surveillance later revealed that the site was cleared out after it was struck by a swarm of drones, leaving only rubble behind. Before and after footage clearly shows the size of destruction inflicted.

The Resistance later targeted the Division's newly established base to the west of the first site.

Recordings by settlers revealed the failure to intercept Hezbollah's drones, which continued to fly toward their target, hitting the new headquarters' command center and the positions of its officers and soldiers. Other footage captured by settlers' cameras showed plumes of smoke rising from the base after the attack.

The Military Media again displayed two images highlighting the differences in the headquarters before and after the strike, clearly showing the impact of the drones targeting multiple facilities, along with a noticeable decrease in the presence of officers and soldiers.
