The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah targeted several Israeli military targets in occupied territories, on Wednesday, according to multiple statements released by the Resistance's Military Media.

Initially, the group launched an attack on a grouping of Israeli occupation soldiers, positioned in the vicinity of al-Raheb military site, located in the western district of operations, at 1:00 pm (local time).

In the easternmost area of operations, the group fired its high caliber rockets, which carry payloads of 100-500 kg individually, at the vicinity of the Israeli Roueisat al-Alam site, built on usurped Lebanese territories in the occupied Shebaa Farms. In this attack, Hezbollah fighters intended to target Israeli occupation forces positioned in the area. Hezbollah confirmed in a statement that rockets directly hit their intended targets, at 2:50 pm.

Just a few minutes later, Resistance fighters targeted another grouping of soldiers in the Tel Shaar military site, located between the "Netu'a" and "Shtula" settlements near the Palestinian-Lebanese border. Concurrently the group targeted enemy soldiers in the vicinity of al-Aabad military site in al-Jalil Panhandle, near the Israeli-occupied Lebanese town of Honin.

Following the announcements, sirens went off in the "Metula" settlement, opposite the border Lebanese town of Kfar Kila, at around 4:15 pm. A few moments later,  a rocket attack was launched at Israeli settlements located near the northern coast of occupied Palestine, to the south of the Lebanese town of al-Naqoura.

Sirens went off in several settlements, as Israeli media outlets said that 20 rockets were spotted traveling toward the settlements. Later, Hamas' military wing, al-Qassam Brigades, announced its responsibility for the rocket attack, saying that it targeted the "Liman" military base. The Resistance faction said that the operation came in response to Israeli massacres against Palestinian civilians and is the context of a wider response to the "Israel's" assassination of leader and martyr Saleh al-Aorouri and his comrades, in the Southern Suburb of Beirut.

Hezbollah's attacks impose a security belt

Earlier, Israeli media outlets, once again underlined that the unfolding events at the Lebanese border area with occupied Palestine are "extremely difficult", stressing that it would grow tougher with time.

Hezbollah, Israeli media reports reveal, has "established a security belt several kilometers inside "Israel" using its military capabilities and through its operations against the Israeli occupation."

Haaretz military affairs analyst, Amos Harel, pointed out that two weeks after the assassination of Hamas deputy leader Saleh al-Arouri in Beirut,  Hezbollah has shown strategic restraint when it came to its response, which included a rocket and missile attack on the Israeli Mount "Meron" Air Traffic Control Base, as well as detonating a suicide drone at the Northern Command headquarters in Safad, in a bid to avoid war.

"What is happening is enough to create an unbearable situation," Harel added, explaining that Hezbollah was effectively imposing a security belt with a range that extends several kilometers into occupied territories. In contrast, the Israeli government has responded to Hezbollah's attacks with "empty words".

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon has launched a series of daily operations against Israeli military targets in northern occupied territories, the deepest of which targeted the Israeli occupation's northern command headquarters in occupied Safad. The Resistance has done so, since October 8, to support the Palestinian people, who have been subjected to a 100-plus day genocidal war.
