The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah announced a series of operations against Israeli military sites and soldiers along the border with occupied Palestine.

Hezbollah said its operations were in support of the steadfast Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and their brave and honorable Resistance and in response to the Israeli attacks and assassinations in Lebanon.

The operations came as follows:

  1. At 2:44 pm, Hezbollah fighters targeted the newly installed espionage equipment on a crane at the Hadab Yarin site with appropriate weapons, hitting it directly and destroying it.
  2. At 3:30 pm, the Islamic Resistance fighters targeted the espionage equipment installed at the newly established center for war collection and reconnaissance teams in the Metulla settlement with a guided missile, hitting it directly and destroying it.
  3. At 4:02 pm, the Resistance carried out two operations whereby its fighters bombarded the Israeli Birket Risha and al-Raheb sites with Burkan rockets, impacting the targets directly and causing a fire to break out at both sites.
  4. At 5:05 pm, the Islamic Resistance attacked the Israeli Roueissat al-Alam site in the occupied Lebanese Kfar Chouba Hills with artillery rockets, achieving a direct hit.
  5. At 5:05 pm, the Resistance engaged an Israeli Merkava tank at the Hadab Yarin site with anti-tank missiles and hit it directly, resulting in its destruction.
  6. Hezbollah Resistance fighters launched an aerial attack with a swarm of one-way drones on the Filon base, which houses the headquarters of Brigade 210 and its warehouses in the northern region, southeast of the occupied Palestinian city of Safad. The Resistance said the attack targeted the positions and accommodations of officers and soldiers at the base, achieving confirmed hits. The group said the operation was in response to the Israeli attacks and assassinations in the towns of Ghazze in western Bekaa and Jbal al-Botm in southern Lebanon.
  7. At 5:17 pm, the Resistance bombarded the Israeli al-Marj site with Burkan rockets, achieving a direct hit.
  8. The Islamic Resistance launched an aerial attack with a swarm of one-way drones on the newly established headquarters of the Western Brigade (300) south of the Ya'ara settlement and targeted the positions and accommodations of its officers and soldiers, achieving confirmed hits. Hezbollah also said the operation was in response to the Israeli attacks and assassinations in the towns of Ghazze in western Bekaa and Jbal al-Botm in southern Lebanon.

It is noteworthy that this is the first time that Hezbollah has targeted the Filon base, which houses logistical warehouses and ammunition depots.

Israeli media stated that Israeli air defenses failed to intercept two aerial targets over the settlements of Rosh Pina and Hatzor HaGlilit in northern occupied Palestine, where fires broke out, as also occurred in Metulla.

The media also mentioned that an Israeli first sergeant died from wounds sustained in a drone explosion in the northern occupied Syrian Golan on June 30.

In a related context, Hezbollah mourned its Resistance fighter Ali Jaafar Maatouk "Habib Maatouk", from the southern Lebanese town of Sir el-Gharbiyeh, who was martyred on the path to [liberate occupied] al-Quds.
