The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah has intensified its operations against Israeli occupation sites and troop deployments along the Blue Line area between Lebanon and occupied Palestine. This escalation comes in support of Gaza and its Resistance efforts, as well as in retaliation for Israeli attacks on Lebanese villages and towns.
In one of its operations, Hezbollah retaliated against the Israeli assassination in the town of Deir Kifa by launching dozens of Grad rockets at the Zar'it military base.
In further support of Gaza, Hezbollah targeted an Israeli assembly point at the Naqoura naval site with artillery shells.
Hezbollah fighters also attacked a grouping of Israeli soldiers at the Summaqah site in the occupied Kfar Chouba Hills with appropriate weapons, achieving direct hits.
Additionally, in the occupied Kfar Chouba Hills, Hezbollah announced that its fighters attacked the Ruweisat al-Alam military site with heavy machine guns.
In the occupied Shebaa Farms, Hezbollah bombarded the Zibdine site with artillery, confirming direct hits.
A correspondent for Al Mayadeen in southern Lebanon reported the launch of a heavy salvo of rockets toward western al-Jalil.
Israeli media reported the sounding of alarm sirens in the settlements of Gornot HaGalil and Goren on the northern border with Lebanon. The Israeli military acknowledged the detection of 25 projectiles in the salvo aimed at western al-Jalil.
An Al Mayadeen correspondent reported that an Israeli drone targeted a vehicle in the southern town of Deirkifa in the Tyre district.
Amid ongoing Israeli assaults on southern Lebanese villages and towns, an Al Mayadeen correspondent reported that an Israeli airstrike targeted the al-Rihan heights, while a second Israeli airstrike targeted the southern town of Hanouiyeh.
Pessimism regarding situation with Lebanon
Israeli media have linked Hezbollah's show of defiance in the North, through the Hoopoe Mission video, with the visit of senior US envoy Amos Hochstein to Lebanon, before he returned to "Israel" in a state of "pessimism".
Yaron Avraham, political affairs commentator on Israeli Channel 12, said that Hochstein "is now meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in his office, conveying the messages he heard from the talks he had in Lebanon," adding that "the Americans are trying to do everything to prevent a war in the north."
Avraham pointed out that "Hochstein, before traveling to Lebanon, not only met with Netanyahu the first time, but also with Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi, as well as Benny Gantz, Yair Lapid, Isaac Herzog, and a group of Israeli officials."
Additionally, Avraham noted that Hochstein told the officials he spoke with that he is "particularly concerned about the talks he had with the Chief of Staff," as he "did not understand what Israel's military plan is, or what the next step would be."
In these talks, Hochstein explained to the Israeli officials that "Hezbollah simply cannot separate the fronts, because Nasrallah is committed to his stance since October 8th to continue firing and escalating as long as the southern front is active."
As a result, Hochstein said he could "arrange something in the north," indicating that he has "a 13-point plan he can get Hezbollah to implement, and there might be some modifications, but such an arrangement would be linked to de-escalation in the south," according to what Avraham claimed.
