Hezbollah carried out two consecutive operations on Sunday in support of Gaza and Palestine, targeting Israeli vehicles near the "Dovev" military barracks.

The first operation hit an Israeli logistics unit, which was working on erecting spy and surveillance antennas and hardware in a newly established outpost near the barracks. Hezbollah confirmed direct hits, announcing casualties among the convoy's crew members who were killed or injured.

Meanwhile, the second operation, which took place a few minutes later, targeted and destroyed an Israeli bulldozer, killing its crew and wounding soldiers in its vicinity, Hezbollah said in another statement.

Plumes of smoke were seen rising from the barracks, which is opposite the Lebanese town of Rmeish, following the two operations, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported.

Furthermore, the Islamic Resistance targeted several Israeli occupation sites in northern occupied Palestine.

Israeli media reported that anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs) targeted "Yiftah" in northern occupied Palestine.

According to our correspondent, the Resistance also targeted Al-Assi and Birket Risha military outposts.

On the Lebanese side, our correspondent said the Israeli occupation's artillery bombed two houses on the outskirts of the town of Tyre Harfa. Additionally, Israelis attacked for the first time the Jarmaq area near the Nabatieh governorate.

Israeli forces also struck the outskirts of the towns of Chihine, Al-Jibbain, and Umm Al-Tut. The occupation army also shelled the outskirts of Yaroun, Beit Lif, and Ramya in the southern part of the country, as well as the outskirts of the town of Mais Al-Jabal.

Our correspondent added that intense Israeli artillery shelling hit the outskirts of the town of Mais Al-Jabal, with the occupation forces also launching artillery and phosphorous shells in its direction.

Phosphorous shells were also launched by Israelis toward the outskirts of the towns of Yaroun and Rmeish.

Furthermore, our correspondent reported that the Israeli drones conducted two strikes, the first targeting the outskirts of Kfar Kila and the second targeting the northern part of Marjeyoun.

An Israeli drone harasses Al Mayadeen's crew

Al Mayadeen's correspondent in southern Lebanon said an Israeli drone closely followed the channel's SNG vehicle inside the Lebanese territory, as the reporting crew was covering the Resistance operations and Israeli aggression on Lebanese territory.

Earlier this week, Israeli media reported that the occupation army and the entity's top intelligence agencies, namely Mossad and Shin Bet, among others, have recommended banning access to Al Mayadeen within the Israeli-occupied Palestinian land amid the ongoing criminal massacres in Gaza.

The recommendation for the "cessation of the broadcast of Al Mayadeen channel within Israel" came as the Israelis, backed and supported by the United States, increase censorship on media outlets exposing its war crimes and genocidal actions in the blockaded and besieged Strip.

Operations to continue and grow

These developments occur as the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon continues its response to Israeli aggressions by targeting Israeli military bases and barracks, inflicting massive damage and destruction to the occupation's hardware and equipment, in addition to killing and wounding a significant number of soldiers.

A website affiliated with the Israeli Ministry of Health reported that 1,362 Israelis were admitted to 8 hospitals in the north, since the beginning of the confrontations on the border with Lebanon as of November 9; however, the site did not specify the number of deaths in the ranks of the Israeli army as a result of the ongoing confrontations on the border with the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon and Palestinian factions.

In his annual speech on Martyr's Day on Saturday, Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah affirmed on Saturday that the Islamic Resistance's operations are ongoing despite all Israeli countermeasures.

Sayyed Nasrallah also declared that there has been a quantitative increase in resistance operations. In addition, new types of weapons have been introduced, such as the use of attack drones, during the resistance operations.

"The Israeli occupation admitted that the level of attacks by the Resistance has risen significantly, so its level of anxiety is simultaneously on the rise," Sayyed Nasrallah highlighted. "The rise in the level of anxiety of the Israelis caused the level of threats to Lebanon to mount as well."
