The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah published on early Sunday a video showing its fighters targeting the al-Manara military command and a gathering of Israeli occupation forces from the 51st Battalion of the Golani Brigade.

The footage showed Hezbollah Resistance fighters launching the Almas anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs). These missiles rely on wired television guidance, executing a top-down attack that enables them to bypass defenses and fortifications, targeting the enemy's vulnerabilities.

Hezbollah said Saturday it had targeted Israeli targets in northern occupied Palestine with drones and guided missiles in retaliation for Israeli attacks on southern villages and civilian homes, notably Kfar Kila and Kfar Chouba.

A statement from the Islamic Resistance said its fighters launched an attack using explosive drones and guided missiles on the headquarters of the al-Manara military command and a gathering of troops from the 51st Battalion of the Golani Brigade.

Hezbollah targets Meron settlement in response to Israeli attacks

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon announced on early Sunday that it targeted the Meron settlement and the surrounding settlements with dozens of Katyusha rockets.

Hezbollah said in a statement that the operation came in response to the Israeli occupation’s attacks on southern villages and civilian homes, in particular, the towns of al-Qawzah, Markaba, and Sarbin.

Israeli media reported that one of the central radars at a military base had been damaged. This was preceded by the announcement of the launch of a heavy salvo of missiles toward the settlements of Mount Meron, including Safsufa, Hagnoz, Kfar Hosh, and Bar Yoha

In a related development, Israeli media reported that an Israeli soldier was injured as a result of a rocket that was launched toward Meron.

No ceasefire in Lebanon without one in Gaza: Hezbollah deputy chief

Hezbollah's support for the Gaza Strip has hindered the Israeli occupation's war plans in Palestine and Lebanon in the present and for the future, Hezbollah Deputy Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem said Saturday.

"Those who fail to see the future, who are ignorant of this enemy, will not be able to understand the facts that indicate that this support will have benefits beyond supporting Gaza and beyond protecting Lebanon; it extends to forming a real deterrent force that confronts Israel and teaches it that it cannot cross the line," Sheikh Qassem underlined.

The initiatives being proposed for Lebanon and southern Lebanon are not viable unless they are based on a ceasefire, for that is the only means of addressing the core issue, he said.

"Whoever comes up with an initiative that entails a ceasefire in the south to relieve Israel so that it can bolster its positions in Gaza is calling on us to participate in supporting the Israeli enemy," he underlined.

"We are with Gaza and Palestine. Not with Israel. So let the war in Gaza stop first, and then it will stop in Lebanon," he said. "The threats that Israel will attack Lebanon make us more convinced of the righteousness of our confrontation and further bolster our position."

Only 3% of Hezbollah's stockpile

Sheikh Qassem cited Israeli reports that Hezbollah used only 3% of its military stockpile during about 7 months of the war, which yielded "great effects in terms of the displacement of settlers, inflicting great losses on Israel, exhausting its army, and giving a great example of steadfastness and sacrifice."

He also addressed Israeli Security Minister Yoav Galant, who had underlined that the main goal was returning the settlers of northern occupied Palestine to their settlements and that the coming period would be decisive, saying: "The settlers of the north cannot be returned. This war will push their return further and further away," and may even end their settlement of the North altogether.
