The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah announced conducting several operations targeting strategic Israeli military bases and northern settlements in defense of Lebanon and its people, and in support of the Palestinian people in Gaza and their Resistance.
In his latest report on Tuesday, the Lebanese Health Minister announced that "Israel" has so far killed 558 people in its aggression, including 50 children, across several areas in southern Lebanon and the Bekaa region in the northeast.
The Resistance group said it targeted the Kiryat Shmona settlement with a barrage of rockets, resulting in fires according to Israeli media. Firefighting teams were dispatched to the area in an attempt to extinguish the fires.
Hezbollah also struck the Meggido military airbase west of Afula - north of Jenin - three times throughout the early hours of the day with salvos of Fadi 1 and Fadi 2 rockets.

Additionally, in a strategic operation, the Resistance announced targeting with Fadi rockets the Israeli base, which is the Israeli occupation army's main transport and logistical support base for the northern region.
Around 60 km deep into northern occupied Palestine, in the Zichron area, Hezbollah targeted a factory specializing in producing explosives, with two seperate barrages of Fadi 2 rockets.
The Resistance also announced that it has struck the Ramat David airbase, which has been under repeated Hezbollah strikes over the past two days due its key role in launching the airstrikes on Lebanon.
Furthermore, the group targeted the logistical warehouses of the Israeli 146th Brigade at the Naftali base.

Israeli media comment on Resistance strikes
A northern corresponndent for the Israeli i24NEWS confirmed that Hezbollah had hit "a very large weapons depot and a logistical center belonging to the [Israeli] army," noting ongoing efforts to extinguish the fires around the targeted site.
The correspondent added that the salvo launched by Hezbollah in this attack was "the largest and most intense since" the early hours of Tuesday.
Israeli media admitted that a number of settlers were wounded in Hezbollah's operations: 9 wounded admitted to the Galilee Medical Center, 5 to the Emek Medical Center, and another 7 to the Rambam Hospital.
"Hezbollah has accumulated significant capabilities since 2006... and has not yet fully deployed them," an Israeli Channel 12 correspondent reported.
The channel further warned: "The [Israeli] public must understand this and adjust its expectations, and know how to act if Hezbollah escalates further."
Meanwhile, former spokesperson of the Israeli occupation's army, Brigadier General (Res.) Ronen Manelis, warned against "Israel" launching a ground invasion of Lebanon, stating that "a ground incursion is the greatest dream" of Hezbollah's Secretary General, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.
He added that the Israeli belief that Sayyed Nasrallah would "raise the white flag" is a "fundamental error," stressing that "we see things from Hezbollah every day that we did not expect," and that events "have unfolded without prior planning."
