The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah announced a series of operations on Monday targeting Israeli military sites and forces in northern occupied Palestine in support of the Palestinian people in Gaza and their Resistance.
Hezbollah also conducted several attacks in response to the ongoing Israeli aggressions on Lebanon.
"In response to the ongoing Israeli attacks on resilient southern Lebanese villages and civilian homes," Hezbollah launched its first operation by targeting a building used by Israeli soldiers in the Avivim settlement. This was shortly followed by another successful strike on a building used by Israeli forces in the Manara settlement. The Resistance group confirmed that both buildings were successfully hit.

At 10:10 AM, Resistance fighters launched an artillery strike on Israeli forces stationed at the Adathir Heights, achieving another direct hit, Hezbollah announced.
Later in the day, at 3:55 PM, the group carried out rocket attacks on two strategic positions in the occupied Lebanese territories: the Ramtha Israeli military site in the Kfar Shuba Hills and the Zibdin Israeli military site in the Shebaa Farms, both of which were struck with precision.
Additionally, in retaliation for the Israeli attacks on the town of Naqoura earlier this morning, Hezbollah said its fighters launched a barrage of Katyusha rockets at the settlements of Ein Yaakov, Ga'aton, and Yehiam.
'No one prepared us'
Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported Tuesday that over 5,650 Israeli occupation forces soldiers have been injured or fallen ill on the northern front since October 7.
The soldiers have been receiving treatment at the Galilee Medical Center in Nahariya and Ziv Hospital in Safed, according to the report.
Hospital directors have expressed deep concern over the uncertain duration of the confrontations in the north.

"We have been underground for 11 months, and we cannot see the end," the hospital officials stated as cited by the outlet.
Masad Barhoum, the director of the Galilee Medical Center in Nahariya, echoed these concerns, reiterating that he "cannot see the end."
"No one prepared us to stay underground for 11 months. It is a very, very significant challenge."
He warned of the potential failure of the medical system to cope with the influx of wounded, despite the hospitals in the region being well-equipped. Moreover, many of the wounded soldiers, he noted, are requesting treatment away from the border with Lebanon.
