The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah launched a series of operations against Israeli occupation forces and responded to Israeli strikes on Lebanese towns and civilians on Monday.
In an initial announcement on Monday, Hezbollah's Military Media Unit said that its fighters launched a suicide drone at the al-Malkiyah military site, which impacted a garrison, destroyed a section of it, and set it on fire.
On Monday afternoon, at 5:45 pm (local time) Hezbollah fighters destroyed spyware installed on the al-Radar military site in the occupied Lebanese Shebaa Farms.
Five minutes later Hezbollah fighters attacked the al-Raheb military site and dealt direct hits to espionage hardware installed on the site.
Later on Monday evening, Hezbollah fighters launched two attacks on Israeli settlements in response to Israeli strikes on the Lebanese towns of Yater and Khiam.
The first attack targeted a building in the Menara settlement used by occupation forces. The attack came in response to Israeli aggression on Yater and resulted in a direct hit to the building, causing a fire in the structure.
The second attack saw Hezbollah fighters attack several buildings in the Metulla settlement, in response to Israeli attacks on Khiam, which resulted in a direct hit to the building, causing a fire in the structure.

Hezbollah rockets impact Israeli settlement
On the Northern Front, sirens sounded in several settlements deep into the Israeli-Palestinian border at around 10:40 pm.
Hezbollah later said that its fighters fired dozens of Grad-type rocket artillery shells at the Tzuriel settlement, around seven kilometers away from the Israeli line of withdrawal from South Lebanon.
Hezbollah's rocket attack on Tzuriel, the first of its kind, came in retaliation for an Israeli aggression on civilians in the town of Hanine.
Earlier, Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah vowed that any renewed Israeli strikes on Lebanese civilians would be met with retaliatory attacks from Resistance fighters, targeting settlements that had remained untouched since the confrontation began on October 8, 2023.
Israeli broadcaster Channel 14 said that several rockets fell in Tzuriel and impacted infrastructure and a building in the settlement. The Israeli Ynet news website said that settlers reported an injury as a result of the attack.
It is worth noting the Tzuriel is among the settlements that have not been evacuated by an official order from the Israeli government.
Later, the Resistance renewed its attacks on the Menara settlement, targeting several buildings used by occupation forces with the appropriate weapons.
Today's operations coincided with the release of a critical warning video, showcasing Hezbollah's anti-armor forces capabilities, with a clear warning to Israeli authorities against invading Lebanon.
