Hezbollah, the Lebanese Resistance Party, has erected another reconnaissance tent in the Bistara Farm near the occupied Lebanese Shebaa Farms shortly after the Israeli occupation carried out strikes on a tent in the same location, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported.

The Israeli occupation forces said earlier that it targeted Lebanese territories with artillery following an attack carried out by Hezbollah's forces on three Israeli military sites located within occupied Lebanese territories in the Shebaa Farms. 

The Lebanese Resistance Party said it targeted the Israeli military sites in support of the Palestinian Resistance and people, adding that it "comes on the path of liberating" occupied Lebanese lands.

Following the targeting of the tent, which has long been a marker of "Israel's" inability to manage its affairs on the northern front, Israeli media outlets reported that explosions were heard in occupied territories nearby.

The IOF then launched another barrage of artillery on the Bistara Farm. 

In its attack on the tent, it seemed that the IOF attempted to redraw the rules of engagement with Hezbollah, only to be reinstated instantly by the latter, knowing that Israeli officials have been urging the United Nations and the United States to ask Hezbollah to remove the tent since July this year.

For context, in 1967, "Israel" occupied the Golan Heights and the Shebaa Farms, pushing the dwellers of the latter into the Bistara village.

Those farmers then developed the village, which later became to be known as the Bistara Farms.

Bistara was later occupied when "Israel" invaded Lebanon in 1982 and was eventually liberated in 2000. Hezbollah planted the reconnaissance tent in the Bsitara Farm in response to excavation work carried out by Israeli bulldozers that attempted to run over a villager in the area.

The Israeli occupation forces are currently engaged with Resistance fighters in the Gaza Envelope settlements, as the Resistance factions launched Operation Al-Aqsa Flood targeting several Israeli settlements in which confrontations with IOF have been ongoing for more than 30 hours.

Hezbollah special forces support Palestinian Resistance

Earlier, Hezbollah released a statement claiming responsibility for the attack on the three Israeli military sites.

"On the path of liberating what is left of our occupied Lebanese land and in solidarity with the triumphant Palestinian Resistance and the [persevering] and patient Palestinian people... groups of martyr leader Hajj Imad Mughniyeh, this Sunday morning, corresponding to 8 October 2023, attacked three occupation sites in the occupied Lebanese Shebaa Farms," the Resistance party said in a statement.

The sites were targeted with large barrages of mortar shells as well as guided missiles, and they are: ar-Radar, Zebdine, and Ruwaisat al-Alam.

The Islamic Resistance in #Lebanon has announced that a large number of artillery shells and guided rockets were used, and the sites were directly hit.
