Hezbollah's strikes on northern Israeli-occupied territories killed an officer in the Yiftah Reserve Armored Brigade's 8679th unit on Wednesday, the Israeli occupation's military admitted. 

The major who is also a deputy company commander in the aforementioned unit was killed after a rocket-artillery shell landed in an Israeli base in the occupied Golan, while several others were injured in the incident. 

Hezbollah had launched more than 200 rocket-artillery shells, of different types, at Israeli military bases in the Golan and al-Jalil, as part of its response to the assassination of one of its prominent leaders, martyr Mohammad Nehme Nasser, "Hajj Abu Nehme."

Hajj Abu Nehme was martyred after an Israeli drone struck a vehicle in al-Haouch area in the coastal city of Tyre. The leader was the commander of Hezbollah's Aaziz Territorial Unit and had a long history of resisting occupation forces and terror organizations in the region. 

As has been the case in every assassination of a Hezbollah commander, the Islamic Resistance responded and continues to respond in a more intense manner to the assassination of its leaders. 

Although the Resistance launched four attacks on Wednesday, as in initial response to the assassinations carried out by the Israeli occupation, it continued to pummel Israeli sites into Thursday afternoon. 

Hezbollah's attacks on Thursday

The Islamic Resistance's Military Media Unit released a summary detailing the sites targeted by fighters today. 

Hezbollah's operations against frontline targets

In response to Israeli attacks on Lebanese towns and villages and in support to the Palestinian people Hezbollah fighters attacked:

  1. A recently set up position of Israeli occupation soldiers in Kfar Blum.
  2. The Israeli Roueisat al-Aalam site in the occupied Kfar Chouba Hills, with a large-caliber heavy Burkan rocket.
  3. Al-Marj military site with a large-caliber heavy Burkan rocket.
  4. Al-Baghdadi military site with a large-caliber heavy Burkan rocket.
  5. The Bayyad Blida military site with a large-caliber Burkan rocket. 

Burkan rockets are large-caliber rocket-propelled munitions ingeniously produced by the Resistance to deliver heavy warheads that weigh between 100-500 kg. The huge blasts of the warheads can deem entire Israeli sites inoperable.
