The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah launched a series of operations on Monday against Israeli military targets in northern occupied Palestine in what was described by Israeli media as the "most intense, violent" on the front in terms of both the type and load of attacks since the confrontations began.

During the day, the Lebanese Resistance group released separate statements announcing 8 different operations against a number of Israeli bases, using various weapons and methods, all in line with the vowed support to Gaza and Palestinians now facing an ongoing Israeli brutal aggression.

Hezbollah started the operations at around 6:30 am, targeting Zebdine Barracks in the occupied Lebanese Shebaa Farms with appropriate weapons, confirming direct hits.
