The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon announced Wednesday a series of operations against Israeli military targets and repelling ongoing Israeli attempts to advance into southern Lebanese towns and villages.

The operations saw Hezbollah launching rocket, artillery, and drone strikes at groupings of Israeli occupation forces in southern Lebanese towns and military bases in occupied territory.

The group said its fighters targeted at 12:10 am a grouping of Israeli occupation forces at the Jal al-Deir site, opposite the town of Maroun al-Ras, with a rocket barrage.

The Islamic Resistance also confirmed that its fighters targeted at 12:15 am another grouping of Israeli forces at the al-Marj site (in the vicinity of Wadi Hounin), opposite the town of Markaba, with a rocket barrage.  

At the same time, Hezbollah fighters targeted a grouping of Israeli troops on the southern outskirts of the town of Chama with artillery shells. 

Later, at 6:10 am, Islamic Resistance fighters launched an aerial attack using a swarm of one-way drones on a logistics base belonging to the 146th Division of the Israeli occupation military, located north of Sheikh Danun, east of Nahariya.

Five minutes later, Hezbollah launched another drone attack on the Shraga base--the administrative headquarters of the Golani Brigade--located north of the occupied city of Akka. The group said both drone attacks successfully struck their targets with precision.

Hezbollah's latest operations come in parallel with US special envoy Amos Hochstein's visit to the Lebanese capital, Beirut.

Hochstein arrived at Beirut's Rafic Hariri International Airport on Tuesday morning. 

His visit comes as part of receiving Lebanon's response to the American proposal for a ceasefire agreement that would end the Israeli aggression on Lebanon, before a scheduled visit to Tel Aviv to continue the discussions.  

Hochstein said Tuesday that he held "constructive" discussions with Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri during his visit to the Lebanese capital, Beirut.

"We've had just now very constructive talks with Speaker Berri, and we have continued to narrow the gaps through the discussions over the last few weeks," he said.

"I came back because we have a real opportunity to bring this conflict to an end," he told reporters after the two-hour meeting.

Hochstein stressed that "this is a moment of decision making. I'm here in Beirut to facilitate that decision, but it's ultimately the decision of the parties to reach a conclusion to this conflict."

"It is now within our grasp," he added during his second visit to Beirut in nearly two months of war.

He is expected to arrive in Tel Aviv tonight.
