In a series of operations on Saturday, May 18, 2024, the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah said it targeted various Israeli military bases and forces' positions located in northern-occupied Palestine.

Announcing the operations, Hezbollah confirmed, yet again, that they are in support of the steadfast Palestinian people in Gaza and their brave and honorable Resistance and in response to the Israeli aggression on the steadfast southern Lebanese villages and civilian homes.

Moreover, the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah released footage of several operations conducted on May 16, 2024, whereby the Resistance fighters targeted surveillance Israeli sites and equipment on the southern Lebanese border, including the Jal al-Allam site, Zar'it Barrack, the Har Addir site, the Ramya site, al-Tayhat Hill.

'At the mercy' of Sayyed Nasrallah

In the north, Hezbollah has escalated its operations dramatically in the past few weeks and conducted multiple landmark operations, including the introduction of a one-way drone that is capable of launching two S5 missiles before attacking its target, disabling the entity's largest spy balloon in a drone strike almost 35km away from the Lebanese border, and destroying a spy balloon deployed a few months ago in the north to fill the gap caused by the Resistance's destruction of Israeli spy and surveillance hardware across the borders.

Additionally, Hezbollah has recently increased its operations to unprecedented levels since the war began, with red alerts becoming almost an hourly occurrence in settlements in northern occupied Palestine.

Commenting on the situation, former Security Minister and ex-deputy to the Prime Minister in two separate governments, Avigdor Lieberman, said in a post on X on Thursday that "Netanyahu has succeeded in shrinking the [geography] State of Israel to the dimensions of a small room."

"What's happening in the north is simply a huge disgrace. It's impossible to count anymore the number of launches that have occurred in the last day towards the north, which has become deserted and abandoned to the mercy of [Sayyed] Nasrallah."

"Anyone who thought that the old and defeatist policy ended on October 7 was mistaken."
