The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah announced on Sunday evening that it had successfully downed an Israeli drone over al-Aishiya area in southern Lebanon at 10:50 pm.

It also targeted two buildings utilized by occupation soldiers in the settlement of "Metulla," achieving a direct hit with suitable weaponry, in retaliation to the recent Israeli attacks on southern villages and civilians, notably the town of Kfar Kila. 

The Resistance confirmed that these two operations came in support of the steadfast Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and their Resistance.

Later, a spokesperson for the Israeli occupation army admitted that an Israeli drone was downed over Lebanon after it was hit by a surface-to-air missile.

The Israeli newspaper Maariv reported that a surface-to-air missile was fired at an unmanned Israeli Air Force aircraft that was flying in Lebanon's airspace, confirming a direct hit.

Hezbollah operations on the northern front 

Earlier today, the Resistance group conducted its first operation at 7:30 am, targeting a building used by Israeli soldiers in the "Shomera" settlement (the occupied Lebanese town of Tarbikha) with appropriate weapons.

Hezbollah also targeted at 9:30 am a newly installed surveillance equipment around the "Dovev" barracks with appropriate weapons, confirming that the hardware was directly hit and destroyed.

At 10:20 am, Hezbollah said it attacked the deployment positions of Israeli soldiers south of the Jal al-Alam site using heavy Burkan rockets.

In another statement, the Resistance said that, after Israeli forces replaced previously targeted surveillance equipment at the "Misgav Am" military site, its fighters struck the newly installed hardware using appropriate weapons and destroyed them once again. Surveillance equipment at the al-Malkiya base was targeted and directly hit at 5:15 pm, Hezbollah stated, noting that the operation was carried out using appropriate weapons.

Revealing the last operation of the day, Hezbollah said in a statement, "In response to the Zionist attacks on southern [Lebanese] villages and civilians, including the most recent targeting the town of Kfar Kila, fighters of the Islamic Resistance targeted at 11:05 pm two buildings used by enemy soldiers in the "Metulla" settlement with appropriate weapons, hitting them directly."
