A guided missile was fired at an Israeli occupation military point near the "Menara" settlement in northern occupied Palestine, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported.

The point is in close proximity to the Lebanese border town of Meis al-Jabal in South Lebanon.

The Israeli al-Abad military site was also targeted by the Lebanese Resistance on Saturday, according to our correspondent.

Later attacks were launched on several Israeli military sites in the Israeli-occupied Lebanese Shebaa Farms and the Kfar Chouba Hills, while the Israeli military targeted nearby forested areas with artillery shells.

In more detail, artillery shelling concentrated on the outskirts of Yaroun, Halta, and al-Mari.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that smoke billowed from the al-Bayyad Israeli military site opposite to the border town of Blida.

Israeli Channel 12 also reported that a severe injury was recorded in the "Margaliot" settlement via a guided missile.

Gallant visits the site of lethal attack

Earlier, Israeli Channel 13 reported that Israeli Security Minister Yoav Gallant visited the Israeli military's northern command and the 91st division in the "Branit" Barracks. In his address to the occupation soldiers, Gallant said Hezbollah had decided to participate in the events, however, the Resistance party has not fully done so.

Yesterday, three Israeli soldiers were killed while four others were injured in Hezbollah's attack on an infantry force positioned near the barracks that Gallant visited on Saturday.

The Lebanese Resistance party announced that it had targeted an infantry force near the barracks after Israeli occupation forces (IOF) assaulted journalists in South Lebanon near al-Abad military site on Thursday.

The IOF also prevented emergency services and UN peacekeeping forces from assisting an injured civilian in the area. Abdullah Rabih al-Bekaai died as a result of the IOF's blatant crime as he was left to bleed out for several hours before emergency services were able to get to him.

Hezbollah said it targeted the occupation force with guided missiles, confirming that several members of the force were injured and killed as a result of the attack.

An Israeli Apache attack helicopter combed nearby areas in Lebanese territories, while gunfire and heavy artillery shelling were heard in the area, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported on Friday night.

Kornet guided missiles: A scythe to occupation soldiers

Or Heller, Channel 13's military expert, said Kornet Anti Tank Guided Missiles are successfully targeting and killing Israeli occupation soldiers positioned in occupied Lebanese and Palestinian territories.

Heller said, "In fact, we are witnessing Hezbollah concentrate its firepower every day especially toward" military sites in close proximity to the Lebanese side of the border.

Hezbollah has intensified its attacks in the past week against the Israeli occupation forces, targeting intelligence and communication equipment, as well as groupings of Israeli soldiers.

Heller confirmed that Hezbollah's Anti-Armor units are carrying out their missions successfully.

The analyst said the missiles have an effective range of 5.5 km and hit their targets "without prior warning of a siren or alarm" that occupation soldiers can react to.

"We have several deaths in our army's lines due to Hezbollah's Kornet."
