The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon Hezbollah on Wednesday carried out an operation targeting an Israeli tank stationed at the "Avivim" military barracks adjacent to the Lebanese borders.

In a statement, Hezbollah said that Resistance fighters launched an anti-tank guided missile ATGM at the tank and confirmed a direct impact, resulting in death and injuries among its crew.

Throughout the day, Israeli media reported that a total of four rockets were fired toward settlements in northern occupied Palestine.

Hezbollah has been gradually increasing its operations targeting Israeli military bases and outposts located on occupied Lebanese lands in support of Gaza, which is witnessing daily Israeli massacres. In its latest report, the Palestinian health ministry said that the total number of Martyrs in the Strip surpassed 6,500, including more than 2,500 children.

Fearing unanticipated operations carried out by the Resistance from Lebanon, the Israeli emergency authority and occupation army announced earlier this week adding 14 northern settlements within 5km from the Lebanese border to the evacuation plan funded by the government, raising the total of settlements to be emptied to 42.

The Israeli air aggression also targeted the outskirts of the towns of Aita Al-Shaab and Qaouzah. Meanwhile, the Jabal Al-Bat area on the outskirts of the towns of Aitaroun and Maroun el-Ras was subjected to artillery shelling.
