The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon, Hezbollah, announced that its fighters targeted an Israeli occupation force on Tuesday noon, killing and injuring all of its members.

The Resistance monitored an occupation force that had set up an ambush near al-Aasi military site and later targeted the force with anti-tank guided missiles, dealing direct hits to all of the force's members.

Hezbollah carried on its operation near the Lebanese-Palestinian forces on Tuesday, announcing that its fighters targeted al-Marj military at 2:15 PM (local time) sites in northern occupied Palestine, destroying military-grade equipment.

Just 15 minutes later Hezbollah fired an ATGM at an Israeli Merkava tank in the vicinity of the "Branit" Barracks, destroying the armored vehicles and dealing casualties among its crew members.

At 4:00 PM (local time) the Resistance targeted an Israeli occupation infantry force near the al-Jerdah military sites with artillery shells, confirming direct hits.

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon has been carrying out operations in support of the Palestinian Resistance in Gaza, after "Israel" launched an indiscriminate aggression on the Gaza Strip.

Today's operations reaffirm Hezbollah's efforts to limit the movement of occupation forces along the Lebanese-Palestinian border.

On Monday, the group carried out wide-scale attacks along the entirety of the Lebanese-Palestinian border targeting the occupation's spyware, surveillance systems, fortifications, and garrisons.

Israel gets a taste of a multi-front war

Furthermore, today has also seen an attack by Sanaa's Armed Forces on the southernmost region of occupied Palestine. The recent events are just a small sample of how direct engagement between the Axis of Resistance and "Israel".

The Spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces said Tuesday that the country was behind the operation targeting the Israeli occupation earlier today using different types of aerial weapons.

In a televised statement, Brigadier General Yahya Saree said that the army launched a large number of ballistic and cruise missiles as well as drones toward various targets in occupied Palestine in support of the Palestinian people and Gaza.

Saree revealed that this is the third of such operations carried out by Yemen against "Israel" since the launch of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood. He stressed that it was driven by the country's sense of responsibility and duty toward occupied Palestine and in response to the calls made by the Yemeni people to support the Palestinian people against the occupation's aggression.

All-out war with the Axis is expected to overload the occupation's air defense systems, as other factions own a flurry of missiles and precision rockets that are expected to deal considerable damage to Israeli military infrastructure. The Israeli occupation will tread carefully in Gaza making sure not to cross red lines that would trigger such an event.
