Hezbollah attacks multiple sites in occupied Lebanese territories

Earlier in the day Hezbollah attacked five Israeli occupation military sites in the occupied Lebanese Shebaa Farms, the Lebanese Resistance group announced in a statement.

"At [3:15 PM] (local time) today on Saturday 14/10/2023 groups of the Islamic Resistance attacked zionist sites in the occupied Lebanese Shebaa farms that are: ar-Radar, Ruwaisat al-Alam, al-Sumaqah, Zebdine, and Ramthah, with guided missiles and mortar shells achieving precise and direct hit."

Al Mayadeen's correspondent said that a number of rockets were launched toward ar-Radar, Ruwaisat al-Alam, al-Sumaqah, and Zebdine near the Lebanese-Palestinian border.

Our correspondent added that the Islamic Resistance is targeting the Israeli occupation sites with rocket-assisted projectiles and artillery as it launches heavy rocket attacks toward the Israeli occupation sites in occupied Kfarchouba

He added that gunfire was heard near the targeted occupation sites in occupied Kfarchouba.

The Israeli occupation forces shelled areas near the sites, fearing any infiltration operations.

Israeli media outlets said that the military had asked all settlers in settlements near the separation fence to remain in safe rooms. It has also been reported that there are barely any settlers in the northern settlements as even the streets in "Qiryat Shemona" are empty.
