Hezbollah conducted a series of operations on Thursday, striking Israeli military sites, soldier gatherings, and military equipment on the northern front in support of the people of Gaza and their brave Resistance, as well as in defense of the Lebanese South against continuous Israeli aggression.
In the first operation, Hezbollah said it targeted Al-Bayyadah at 1:00 am using artillery shells, confirming direct hits.
Later in the morning, Resistance fighters struck the Israeli military base al-Malikiya with appropriate weaponry, also resulting in a direct hit.

Two brothers, Ishak and Hussein Alayan were killed today in an Israeli drone strike at a motorcycle in the southern Lebanese town of al-Naqoura.

At 4:38 pm, Hezbollah forces targeted the Israeli military post at Al-Abbad with appropriate weapons, once again achieving a direct hit.
Shortly after, at 5:00 pm, Resistance fighters fired rockets at Israeli positions in the occupied Lebanese territories of Zebdine in Shebaa Farms and al-Ramtha in the Kfar Chouba hills, achieving direct hits on both locations.
By 6:05 pm, Hezbollah launched another wave of rocket fire, this time targeting Israeli soldiers near Tellat al-Taihas and artillery positions on Abu Dajaj Heights, both of which were hit directly.
Earlier today, Israeli Reserve Major General Yitzhak Brik cautioned against the grave consequences "Israel" would face if it chose to escalate the war with Lebanon, stressing that the threats issued by senior security officials are "futile and pointless."
In an interview with Israeli Channel 12, Brik stated that "the most dangerous lie being promoted right now, which could create a major disaster for Israel, is that the army will launch an attack on Hezbollah."
The senior military official pointed out that while "Israel could flatten all of Beirut," Hezbollah "would do the same to Israel in Gush Dan and the Haifa Bay."
