The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah, announced, on Wednesday, morning its targeting of the occupied settlement of "Kiryat Shmona" and the Israeli Occupation Forces' command in the settlement, known as Brigade 769, located in northern occupied Palestine.

The Resistance emphasized that this operation, carried out using dozens of rockets, came in response to the massacre committed by the Israeli occupation in Hebbariyeh, southern Lebanon, and in support for the resilient Palestinian people in Gaza and their Resistance.

The Israeli occupation acknowledged the significance of the operation and the losses it inflicted on its internal front, as Israeli media confirmed the killing of an Israeli settler as a direct result of a missile strike by Hezbollah on a factory in "Kiryat Shmona".

Israeli media also reported two injuries and indicated that firefighting crews have been dispatched to the site of the missile strikes after fires broke out.

'Israel' caught up on the northern front

"Israel is stuck on the Lebanese front," said the head of the local authority in "Kiryat Shmona", adding, "The sirens sounded 5 times while 30 rockets were launched from Lebanon, most which reached Kiryat Shmona scoring direct hits on homes, factories, and cars."

"We were attacked with dozens of rockets, and it's dangerous to be here even for a minute, so I asked the army to forcefully close down Kiryat Shmona," he noted, urging Israeli settlers there to seek shelter as "the event is not over yet, and there is fear of additional rocket launches."

In addition, a correspondent for Israeli news broadcaster Channel 12 in the North acknowledged that it was "a tough morning in Kiryat Shmona, with many rockets and a lot of damage to property," explaining that the rockets were launched from Lebanon in 7 different rounds towards "Kiryat Shmona".

This comes after the Israeli occupation targeted the Lebanese Succour Association quarters in Heberiyyeh killing 7 paramedics and destroying the building in a deliberate escalation.
