The Israeli occupation forces then utilized smoke screens to be able to retrieve the casualties while the Resistance was bombing the Ruweissat al-Alam site itself with artillery shells.
The Islamic Resistance also declared that in support of the Palestinian people and their valiant Resistance, its fighters launched attacks on the al-Ramtha site in the Kfar Chouba hills.
Earlier operation
The Israeli occupation announced on Friday the death of a settler in the occupied Shebaa Farms, after succumbing to wounds sustained by an anti-tank missile launched by the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah, toward occupied territories.
Under the "permitted to publish" clause, Israeli media reported that the eliminated settler was a truck driver trying to erect a barrier at the northern border. The recovery of his body entailed a complex operation due to continuous and intense Hezbollah fire against "Israel".
The Israeli military is currently investigating how the truck was discovered after it had reportedly been moving in the dark with no lights on to avoid being intercepted by Hezbollah's fighters.
It additionally claimed that the man was the 20th settler to be killed by Hezbollah since October. However, Hezbollah's published footage and information prove that the number of Israeli casualties is in fact magnified.
