The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah carried out dozens of operations on Wednesday in support of the people and Resistance of Gaza, as well as in defense of the people of Lebanon and its territories in the face of the Israeli occupation's ongoing aggression, attacking numerous military sites, soldier gatherings, bases, and military production sites, while defending against the attempted invasion of southern Lebanon.
The operations began with an attack on the Glilot base near Tel Aviv, a key facility belonging to intelligence Unit 8200, which was hit by a barrage of rockets. This base, a hub for Israeli intelligence activities, was crippled by the attack, sending shockwaves across the enemy's military infrastructure. In the North, the Resistance struck the Zvulun military industry base, located north of Haifa, dealing a direct blow to the Israeli occupation's military production capabilities.
Misgav Am, a fortified military site on the border, came under intense rocket fire multiple times. The Nahariya settlement was also hit with a large barrage of rockets, causing significant damage. Later in the day, a precise aerial strike was carried out using a squadron of attack drones on the Tiret HaCarmel base in southern Haifa, a major military facility.
Simultaneously, Islamic Resistance fighters focused their efforts on targeting concentrations of Israeli troops deployed along the occupied Palestinian-Lebanese border area. Several rocket barrages were unleashed on groups of soldiers stationed between Adaisseh and Roub Thalathin, resulting in multiple strikes throughout the day.
A similar attack struck enemy forces gathered at the Misgav Am–Rub al-Thalathin–Markaba triangle. Additional strikes were launched on troop concentrations at various points, including the eastern outskirts of the towns of Taybeh and Ramiya, as well as in the orchards of Manara, inflicting significant losses on the occupation's troops.
Further attacks targeted enemy soldiers in the Kfar Chouba hills, specifically between the Sammaqa and Roueisat al-Alam sites, which have long been a site of military confrontation. Israeli troops stationed in the Misgav Am and Margaliot settlements were also subjected to continuous bombardment throughout the day, with rockets hitting their positions multiple times. Likewise, Israeli forces near the Zar'it settlement and on the Blat height between Marwahin and the Marj site were struck by barrages, inflicting serious losses.
In addition to the missile and rocket strikes, Hezbollah fighters confronted an attempted Israeli ground incursion, wherein an Israeli infantry unit sought to infiltrate Lebanese territory near the eastern outskirts of Aitaroun and Resistance fighters swiftly engaged the invading soldiers with rockets and machine guns, forcing them to retreat under heavy fire.
As the Israeli soldiers withdrew, the Resistance's support units continued their assault, bombarding the retreating forces and their reinforcements within occupied Palestinian territory, achieving confirmed hits on their positions.
In two separate incidents, Israeli warplanes attempting to violate Lebanese airspace were intercepted by the Resistance's surface-to-air missile systems. In the first confrontation, anti-aircraft units forced the Israeli jets to abandon their mission near the Lebanese eastern sector. A second interception occurred later in the evening when the Resistance's air defense units fired another surface-to-air missile at enemy warplanes, compelling them to flee Lebanese airspace.
Moreover, a barrage of rockets targeted both Israeli military personnel and equipment on the outskirts of al-Dhayrah, while another targeted the Israeli TAAS weapons manufacturing facility in the suburbs of Tel Aviv.
