The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah conducted four operations on Israeli military targets in the western district, of South Lebanon, on Sunday morning.

At 8:30 AM (local time), Hezbollah fighters targeted an Israeli bunker in the "Birket Risha" military site opposite the Lebanese town of Bustan. The Resistance faction confirmed that Israeli soldiers had taken position in the bunker, prior to the operation which dealt direct hits to its intended targets.

Half an hour later, Resistance fighters targeted an Israeli force in the vicinity of the "Hanita" military site, further to the west side of the Lebanese-Palestinian border. Hezbollah confirmed, in a statement, direct hits.

The next operation targeted an Israeli infantry force entering a camouflaged position to the east of the occupied upper al-Jalil kibbutz of "Sasa". The position targeted is past the Israeli "Dovev" Barracks and is located approximately 3 km away from the Lebanese-Palestinian border.

Forty minutes later, Hezbollah fighters targeted a nearby grouping of Israeli soldiers in woodlands to the east of "Sasa", confirming casualties among members of the force.

Interestingly, all four of the Resistance's operations directly targeted Israeli occupation soldiers, rather than military infrastructure or equipment. The operations come in support of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and its Resistance. These consecutive operations also come after Israeli warplanes launched a strike on the Lebanese village of Houmine, north of the Nabatieh governate, on Saturday night.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that Israeli artillery units targeted the vicinities of the Lebanese towns of Kfar Kila, al-Taybeh, and Blida.

It is worth noting that Hezbollah has been leading operations launched from South Lebanon since October 8, supporting the Palestinian Resistance, which faces an unprecedented ground invasion in the Gaza Strip. The Resistance faction has introduced high-caliber Burkan rockets, attack drones, and anti-tank guided missiles, in their targeting of Israeli occupation forces throughout periods of confrontations.
