The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah launched multiple attacks, accurately targeting groupings of Israeli occupation soldiers across the Israeli occupation's frontline military sites and bases in northern occupied Palestine, on Saturday.

In support of the Palestinian people and their Resistance, Hezbollah's fighters launched three attacks on Saturday morning, covering the western and eastern districts of operations.

At 9:40 am, Resistance fighters opened up today's operations targeting a grouping of Israeli occupation soldiers positioned in the vicinity of the Israeli al-Dhayrah military site, which resulted in several casualties among the enemy's ranks.

Later, the group launched an attack at the eastern district of operations, targeting another grouping of occupying troops positioned in the vicinity of the Israeli-occupied Lebanese Hounin Castle. The site has been utilized by "Israel" for military purposes and is located in the occupied al-Jalil Panhandle, near Lebanese territories liberated in May 2000.

Nearing noon, at 11:55 am, the Resistance launched an attack on occupation soldiers, positioned in the vicinity of the "Zar'it" Barracks, confirming direct hits to the intended targets. The Barracks is located near the Lebanese-Palestinian border and have been erected on the usurped Lebanese village of Tarbikhah.

In this context, Israeli media outlets reported that sirens went off in 16 settlements in northern occupied territories.

On the other hand, Israeli occupation forces launched a number of attacks on border towns in Lebanon, as well as al-Bazourieh, located 18 km from the line of Israeli withdrawal.

Following the attack on the town, Hezbollah mourned its fighter martyr Ali Mohammad Hodruj, "Abbas", on the path to al-Quds.

Hezbollah has launched hundreds of operations in support of Gaza since October 8, marking the faction's steadfast support to the Palestinian people and their cause. The Resistance's rockets, missiles, and drones plummeted Israeli occupation forces' military sites across the border, forcing the Israeli military to set up temporary positions in woodlands and the vicinities of the sites.
