The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah conducted on Sunday a series of coordinated rocket and artillery strikes targeting multiple Israeli military positions along the Lebanese border area with occupied Palestine.

In addition, today witnessed the Islamic Resistance's Air Defense Unit intercepting an Israeli Hermes 900 drone and forced it to retreat from Lebanese airspace.

The strikes come amid escalating tensions in the region, with Hezbollah intensifying its attacks on Israeli military targets in response to ongoing Israeli aggression on Lebanon and in support of Gaza.

The Islamic Resistance fighters targeted an Israeli assembly point in Wadi Hounin, west of the Lebanese town of Odaisseh, with a barrage of rockets. Shortly before that, they launched a large barrage of rockets on the Filon military base in Rosh Pina, east of the occupied city of Safad.

Hezbollah continued its assault throughout the day, striking an Israeli assembly point on the eastern outskirts of Markaba, followed by another attack on Israeli forces stationed at the Fatima Gate in Kfar Kila using artillery shells.

Earlier, Hezbollah fighters targeted an Israeli assembly point at the Hounin barracks with a barrage of rockets, followed by a strike on another Israeli assembly point on the eastern perimeter of Markaba.

As the day progressed, the attacks intensified. Hezbollah launched a barrage of rockets at an Israeli assembly point on the al-Qalaa hill in Blida, followed by two strikes targeting Israeli forces stationed at both the school and old municipality of Markaba.

In addition to these targeted strikes, Hezbollah expanded its offensive with larger-scale rocket attacks on key Israeli military and civilian locations. Hezbollah launched an advanced rocket barrage on the city of Haifa, followed shortly by an attack on the Birya air defense base.

At the same time, Hezbollah targeted the Samson base, a key command preparation center west of Lake Tabarayya. The Resistance also launched a strike on the Tirat Carmel base in southern Haifa.
