The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah carried out a series of coordinated military operations against the Israeli occupation forces and settlements across northern occupied territories and the occupied Golan Heights on Friday. The attacks targeted multiple Israeli military positions, settlements, and infrastructure in response to the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza and Lebanon
In one significant strike, Resistance fighters targeted Israeli soldiers stationed in the Yiftah barracks and its surrounding areas with a large rocket barrage, causing significant damage. Similarly, at the al-Abbad site, technical equipment placed on a crane was destroyed by a guided missile.
Israeli occupation forces in the Zvolon area, north of occupied Haifa, were also hit by a barrage of rockets, followed by an aerial assault using a swarm of attack drones that struck the air defense command base in Kiryat Eliezer, Haifa.
Further rocket strikes targeted Israeli assembly points in the settlements of Kfar Szold, Ya'ra, and Shomera, resulting in heavy damage and casualties. Similar attacks were launched on Israeli military positions in al-Naqoura and in the southern town of Blida.
The headquarters of the 7th Armored Brigade in Katsavia barracks, located in the occupied Golan, was also hit by a substantial rocket barrage.
In retaliation for the Israeli occupation's continued attacks on civilian areas, the Resistance fired a barrage of rockets toward the Zvolon area, north of Haifa, and the city of Safad in the occupied territories.
Additional strikes were reported in Kfar Giladi, Kfar Yuval, and west of Kiryat Shmona, as well as in Margaliot and south of Yaroun. Each location witnessed heavy barrages that inflicted substantial damage on Israeli military units and infrastructure.
Artillery fire also targeted Israeli soldiers at the Fatima Gate and other areas near Blida, with direct hits reported.
The wide-ranging operations, spanning from the north of Haifa to the occupied Golan, represent a significant response to the Israeli occupation as it relentlessly bombs numerous areas in Lebanon, including Beirut, the Southern Suburb of Beirut, the Bekaa, Baalbek, and the country's South.
The Islamic Resistance emphasized that these strikes were in retaliation for the Israeli occupation's continued aggression against Lebanese civilians and served as a warning of further actions if the attacks persisted.

Hezbollah 'well-prepared, waiting' for Israeli soldiers: Expert
Avraham Levine, an analyst with Alma, an Israeli think-tank, warned Friday that Hezbollah remains a "serious threat" to the Israeli occupation forces despite claims of disruptions in the Resistance movement's leadership.
Speaking to Reuters, Levine stressed that Hezbollah is "well-prepared and waiting" for any Israeli military action, noting that they remain highly capable.
"The fact that the chain of command has been damaged does not take away the ability to shoot Israeli communities or try to hit Israeli forces," Levine said.
Moreover, he described Hezbollah as the very same Resistance army that the Israeli occupation and the remainder of the world have come to know.
Israeli media indicated on Thursday that Hezbollah had neither been defeated nor broken following the recent assassinations against its members.
