Later, the Resistance launched an operation in response to Israeli aggressions against civilians, attacking the "Kiryat Shmona" Police Station with appropriate weapons, dealing direct hits to the intended target. It is worth noting that "Kiryat Shmona" is the largest Israeli settlement in al-Jalil Pandhandle.

On Tuesday afternoon, Hezbollah launched a number of operations, starting with an attack that targeted a grouping of Israeli soldiers in the "Mattat" Barracks, opposite the Lebanese town of Rmeish. Hezbollah confirmed direct hits, saying that the force's members were either killed or injured as a result of the attack.

Prior to the operation, Islamic Resistance fighters were able to capture an Israeli Skylark-type reconnaissance drone, adding that its components remain intact, which means that the group can acquire valuable information that the drone's components contain.

At 3:00 pm, Hezbollah fighters targeted another grouping of Israeli soldiers located in the Marj military site, north of Hounin.

The Israeli Roueisaat al-Alam military in the occupied Lebanese Shebaa Farms came under attack at 6:10 pm, the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon's Military Media announced.

At 8:00 pm, the headquarters of the Zibdine Barracks was targeted with rocket artillery and was directly hit.

Sayyed Nasrallah: Lebanese front contingent on Gaza

Speaking on the Day of the Wounded Hezbollah's Secretary-General, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, stressed that Hezbollah's operations from South Lebanon will not stop until the Israeli aggression on Gaza is halted.

Hezbollah's leader said that this "legendary steadfastness and heroism amount to a miracle, with utmost patience that is unparalleled in history," contrasting the occupation's continued "policy of impotence and failure."

Maintaining that Hezbollah launched military operations in support of Palestine on October 8, the Secretary-General explained, "What we are doing in Lebanon in supporting Gaza is an honest response to the moral and religious responsibility incumbent on each of us."

"The front in South Lebanon is [meant to produce] pressure, support, and participate in defeating the enemy and weaken it until the aggression [on Gaza] stops," Sayyed Nasrallah reiterated.
