The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah shelled Khirbat Al-Manara and the "Biranit" barracks using missiles and mortar shells, the military media said Tuesday, confirming that several projectiles hit their targets after the Israeli occupation failed to intercept them.
Resistance factions from Lebanon launched Monday a barrage of rockets toward occupied Palestine, namely the settlement of "Kiryat Shmona", with reportedly at least one rocket hitting a target.
Al Mayadeen correspondent to southern Lebanon reported that the Islamic Resistance targeted 5 military Israeli military outposts in "Biranit, Shtoula, Al-Manara, Al-Abad, and Jal Al-Alam."
Moreover, a UAV launched from Lebanon on Monday infiltrated into the occupied Palestinian territories and reached the airspace of occupied Haifa before the Israeli occupation forces shot it down.
Air raid sirens were sounded out in the occupied city of Haifa on Monday afternoon before the Israeli occupation forces stated that its forces had intercepted a UAV that had entered the airspace of the occupied Palestinian territories from Lebanese territory, as reported by Israeli media.

Meanwhile, there are paramount concerns within the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) about the political leadership possibly canceling a planned ground invasion of Gaza, Israeli media reported on Monday.
Netanyahu is hesitant about launching the operation, citing concerns about becoming entangled in both southern and northern fronts, Israeli media said.
These concerns come as the IOF faces a delicate balance between military necessity and the risk of political fallout. According to Yedioth Ahronoth, there is growing apprehension within the military regarding the potential delay or cancellation of a ground invasion.
The newspaper has reported that the Lebanese Resistance group Hezbollah could effectively keep the Israeli occupation preoccupied with its actions. By doing so, "Israel" would bear a disproportionate cost compared to the relatively minimal price paid by Hezbollah.

British newspaper The Telegraph has highlighted that clashes with Hezbollah at the Lebanese border are complicating the Israeli plan for a ground invasion of Gaza. The escalating confrontations in the north have delayed the strategic timeline.
According to reports cited by the British outlet, the Israeli occupation has postponed its ground invasion of Gaza due to the intensifying confrontations along the northern border with Lebanon.
Israeli Channel 14 quoted unnamed officials expressing reservations about moving into Gaza at this moment. The ongoing hostilities along the Lebanese border have reinforced the perception that the time was not right to launch a ground invasion.
