Hezbollah's Air Defense Force fired several surface-to-air missiles at Israeli fighter jets violating Lebanese airspace late on Wednesday.

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon also conducted a series of operations late into Wednesday night, extending into the early hours of Thursday.

The first operation launched on Wednesday saw Hezbollah's Resistance fighters attack the Birket Risha military site at 10:20 am (local time), targeting the spyware installed in the site and destroying it.

Hezbollah fighters also attacked the Roueissat al-Qarn military site in the occupied Lebanese Shebaa Farms, at 7:45 pm, firing unspecified "rocket weapons" that dealt direct hits to the target.

Further into Wednesday night, the Resistance launched a concentrated attack on an Israeli military convoy that made its way into the al-Malikiyah military site.

Hezbollah fighters monitored the movement of the envoy before firing artillery and rocket-artillery shells at the convoy.

At 12:30 am on Thursday, Hezbollah fighters also launched an artillery attack on the Hanita military site, dealing direct hits to the intended targets.

Hezbollah's air defense batteries turn away Israeli jets

Nearly an hour earlier, Hezbollah's air defense batteries launched surface-to-air missiles at Israeli fighter jets that had been flying over South Lebanon.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent in southern Lebanon had reported on the event, saying that a missile was fired at an Israeli aircraft late on Wednesday night.

Hezbollah then released a statement saying that its Air Defense units fired missiles at Israeli fighter jets over the South, forcing them to retreat and withdraw behind the Lebanese-Palestinian border.
