Under the call "Labbyaka ya Nasrallah" [here we respond to your call, O Nasrallah], the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah commenced Tuesday its "Khaybar" operations by launching barrages of Fadi 4-typed rocket toward the Glilot base of the 8200 military intelligence unit, as well as the Mossad headquarters located in the suburbs of Tel Aviv.

The operation comes amid an ongoing Israeli aggression on Lebanon, especially its South and East, as well as the Southern Suburb of the capital Beirut, where Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah was assassinated.

In a statement, Hezbollah said the attack comes in response to "the targeting of civilians and the massacres committed by the enemy, in support of our steadfast Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and in solidarity with their valiant and honorable resistance, as well as in defense of Lebanon and its people."

It marked the first time the Islamic Resistance deployed the Fadi 4 rocket to target Israeli military targets.

Hezbollah targeted on September 25 the Mossad headquarters in Tel Aviv suburbs with a Qader 1 ballistic missile, pointing that the HQs is responsible for the assassination of Resistance leaders and the waves of pagers and walkie-talkies explosions, which killed dozens and injured thousands of people across Lebanon.

The Islamic Resistance also targeted in late August the Glilot base, which is a main base affiliated with the Aman military intelligence and which houses Unit 8200, under Operation Arbaeen, which came in response to the Israeli assassination of Hezbollah Commander Martyr Fouad Shokor.

"It is clear Hezbollah has not said its final word yet," Israeli media suggested, warning that "Hezbollah still has the capability to launch attacks on Israel."

The Israeli Channel 12 said that 50 projectiles have so far been launched from Lebanon, with the operation targeting central "Israel" forcing millions of settlers to rush to shelters.

The Times of Israel also mentioned that two settlers were moderately injured as a result of the rocket fire.

In response to the rocket strikes, the Israeli police blocked Route 6 from the Harish intersection to Eyal, near Qalqilya), due to a rocket landing from Lebanon.

Footage circulated on social media showed a rocket directly impacting the Horshim intersection near Kfar Saba, north of Tel Aviv.

Israeli media also reported fires and destruction along the road, with a settler bus in Tel Aviv damaged by a rocket launched from Lebanon.

A rocket also landed east of Tel Aviv, and the Israeli police instructed settlers to remain in protected areas after several injuries were reported.

Additionally, three rockets were tracked being launched from Lebanon toward Gush Dan and Sharon, along with a rocket and shrapnel falling in the center of Kfar Saba.

"Israel's" emergency service Magen David Adom reported several injuries following the rocket barrage toward the central region, specifically in Nahshonim and Horshim.

Israeli media circulated footage showing the initial moments of sirens being activated north of Tel Aviv and the subsequent rocket impact in the area.

Israeli military introduces further restrictions following Hezbollah's rocket attack

Hezbollah's rocket fire forced the Israeli occupation military's Home Front Command to introduce new restrictions for settlers in northern and central occupied territories, including Tel Aviv, al-Quds, the Sharon region, the Carmel area, Wadi Ara, and the northern West Bank.

According to a statement, educational activities and workplaces are only allowed to operate if there is an adequate shelter nearby that can be accessed in a timely manner. The restrictions also limit gatherings to a maximum of 30 people outdoors and 300 people indoors, and bar settlers from going to beaches.

These guidelines will remain in place until Saturday, the statement read.

Sirens non-stop in Metulla

In a related context, The Times of Israel highlighted that sirens are sounding nearly continuously in the Metulla settlement in northern occupied Palestine near the Lebanon border.

In the past hour alone, three rounds of alerts have been issued in the area, the news website pointed out, adding that nearby Misgav Am is also experiencing frequent siren activity.

Earlier, Hezbollah confirmed that its Resistance fighters carried out a precise artillery strike against Israeli occupation soldiers at the Metulla site and targeted positionings of occupation soldiers again in the Metulla settlement with a rocket barrage.
