The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah launched a series of operations on Tuesday against Israeli military targets in northern occupied Palestine as the entity continues its war on Gaza and expands its crimes in Lebanon.

The most recent Israeli aggressions on southern Lebanon resulted in the martyrdom of two journalists, Al Mayadeen's Farah Omar and Rabih Me'mari, in addition to Hussein Akil, who was collaborating with the news network.

Additionally, an Israeli attack on a family home in Kfar Kila led to the killing of 80-year-old Lebanese citizen Laeqa Sarhan, and the wounding of her granddaughter, a Syrian national, Alaa al-Qasim.

It was also confirmed that several others of the martyr's grandchildren miraculously survived the bombing, while Alaa was rushed to the hospital with serious injuries.

In another crime, four individuals were martyred after the Israeli military targeted their car on a side road between Chaaitiyeh and Qlaileh in the district of Tyre, southern Lebanon.

During the day, the Islamic Resistance group released separate statements announcing a series of operations against Israeli military bases and targets along the Lebanese-Palestinian border. Hezbollah reiterated that the operations are in support of Gaza and Palestinians, as well as in retaliation for a list of Israeli crimes in Lebanon and against civilians in the country.

Tuesday's operations timeline

Starting with one of the most significant operations since the start of the round of confrontations on October 8, the Lebanese Resistance targeted at 4:15 pm a site of an Israeli military giant, specialized and responsible for developing the entity's most sophisticated anti-air systems.

In a first of its kind, Hezbollah targeted a Rafael systems' production plant in "Shlomi" with undisclosed weapons, in response to an Israeli aggression targeting an aluminum factory in Nabatieh, south Lebanon, last week.

The weapons firm is a co-producer and creator of the Iron Dome, David's Sling, Trophy for military vehicles, and the newly introduced laser-based system, the Iron Beam.

The Resistance confirmed that the site received direct hits, with smoke seen rising from the location.

Moreover, the Hadab al-Bustan Israeli base was attacked with appropriate weapons at 9:50 am, the Islamic Resistance said in a statement, confirming that the operation was successful.

Around two hours later, at 11:45 am, Hezbollah announced targeting al-Raheb Israeli military site using appropriate weapons, adding that direct hits were achieved.

The Resistance continued its operations during the day, targeting Jal al-Deir and al-Malikiyah Israeli bases, at 2:30 pm and 3:50 pm respectively, in addition to targeting a Merkava tank near "Netu'a" military site at 4:05, all using appropriate weapons. Hezbollah said in three separate statements that all launches succeeded in hitting their targets.
