In a statement, the Lebanese Resistance group stated that its fighters struck the Israeli Hadab al-Bustan base near the Lebanese border, confirming that the hit was successful.
Furthermore, a military outpost hosting Israeli soldiers near the "Ya'ara" Barracks came under attack with appropriate weapons, the Resistance said on Monday, confirming direct hits.
Following the operation, Israeli media admitted that five Israeli soldiers were wounded, some in serious condition, in the attack launched by Hezbollah at the barracks using anti-tank guided missiles.
Commenting on the ongoing events, the Israeli Kan news channel said, "The front line with Hezbollah in the north is heating up," referring to the military escalation on the Lebanese-Palestinian borders.

Israeli airstrikes target border villages
Al Mayadeen's correspondent in southern Lebanon reported that the Israeli artillery shelled the vicinity of the Mays al-Jabal Hospital, with shell fragments damaging the facility's emergency department without causing injuries. The shelling also targeted the outskirts of the town of al-Jibbain, he added.
Furthermore, Israeli aircraft conducted strikes on the outskirts of the town of Maroun al-Ras in the district of Bint Jbeil and the vicinity of the Jal al-Allam Israeli site opposite Alma al-Shaab.
Additionally, an Israeli drone struck the outskirts of the town of al-Labbouneh with two missiles.
Hezbollah's threat from the north
For more than 80 days, the northern settlements have been on edge, anticipating an imminent war, Israeli media outlets have been reporting.
Dana Weiss, a political commentator on Channel 12, addressed last week the situation on the northern front, saying, "If we enter a battle in the north, we will witness a scenario that we have not seen before, and the one who will pay the price is the internal front in the heart of Gush Dan (comprising the Tel Aviv and central regions)."
The Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday that the number of Israelis who evacuated northern occupied Palestine as a result of Hezbollah's operations has exceeded 230,000.
Israeli media said that fears are mounting among settlers in the north as the Resistance in Lebanon continues to carry out daily operations with no signs that it is deterred by any actions the occupation army is taking.
