In support of the Palestinian people and their Resistance, fighters of the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah, targeted a newly established command and control room in the vicinity of the Israeli naval Ras al-Naqoura military site, on Wednesday morning.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent in South Lebanon reported on a possible attack on the Israeli Hadab al-Bustan military site, opposite the Lebanese town of Bustan, in the western sector.

Our correspondent also said that a salvo of rockets was launched toward areas in the same sector of operations. Israeli air defense missiles were launched to intercept the incoming missiles, as some exploded over the coastal Lebanese town of Naqoura, according to Al Mayadeen's correspondent.

In the meantime, Israeli media outlets had reported sirens going off in Israeli settlements to the south of Naqoura. Concurrently, Israeli authorities blocked the roads leading into three settlements near the Palestinian-Lebanese border, which include "Shlomi", "Rosh HaNikra", and "Achziv".

Reports also indicate that 20 rockets were launched from South Lebanon toward "Rosh HaNikra", which is located only a few hundred meters from the Israeli withdrawal line.

Soon after, at noon, Hezbollah announced that its fighters fired anti-tank guided missiles at a tent belonging to a special Israeli military force, positioned to the south of the occupation al-Dhayrah military site, causing casualties among all of its occupants.

Israeli strikes on South Lebanon persist

Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported on the continued Israeli aggression on Lebanese towns, where an Israeli drone fired a missile at the outskirts of Naqoura.

Israeli artillery units also shelled the outskirts of the town, while an Israeli Merkava tank targeted the town of Aita al-Shaab 20 km to the east.

Earlier on Tuesday night, the Israeli occupation added yet another war crime to its extensive record, when an airstrike killed three Lebanese civilians in the town of Bint Jbeil.

Ali Bazzi, Ibrahim Bazzi, and Ibrahim's wife, Shourouq Hammoud, were martyred in an Israeli strike on the house they were staying in. The Israeli occupation forces launched their attack on Bint Jbeil at 11 PM (local time), targeting civilian homes in the center of the town.

It is worth noting, that Ibrahim resided in Australia and that he had just recently arrived in Lebanon in order to escort his wife back to Australia.

Hezbollah has promised and succeeded in responding to any attack targeting civilians in Lebanon, by launching its own attacks on Israeli targets. The faction is expected to do the same, as none of its operations today, as announced in their statements, came in response to yesterday's aggression.
