The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon confirmed early Thursday that it targeted the Israeli settlement of "Kiryat Shmona" with a salvo of Katyusha rockets in response to the Israeli occupation's targeting of villages and civilian homes.

"In support of our steadfast Palestinian people in Gaza and in solidarity with their brave and honorable resistance, and in response to the Israeli enemy's persistent targeting of villages and civilian homes, the fighters of the Islamic Resistance at 12:15 am on Thursday, December 21, 2023, targeted the settlement of Kiryat Shmona (the occupied town of Al-Khalsa) with a salvo of Katyusha rockets, " the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon announced in a first statement.

Later, the Resistance mentioned in another statement that at 12:30 am, its fighters launched incendiary rockets at the "Biranit" Woodlands in response to Israeli occupation forces burning the al-Raheb Woodlands.

The Islamic Resistance affirmed that it will not hesitate to defend Lebanese villages and towns and will respond in kind to the enemy's aggressive actions.

At 3:00 pm, Hezbollah targeted the Israeli-occupied al-Abbad site and its fortifications, using appropriate weapons. The operation was carried out successfully, resulting in confirmed casualties.
