Hezbollah targeting Israeli sites in northern occupied territories (Military Media)
From South Lebanon, Hezbollah has launched multiple attacks at Israeli targets in northern occupied territories. These consistently expanding attacks have completely shut down Israeli settler communities, located at least 3.5 km deep into their occupation's line of withdrawal.
In the latest operation at 3:30 pm on Tuesday, Hezbollah Resistance fighters carried out an aerial attack on the Israeli occupation's recently established military command headquarters in the vicinity of the "Kiryat Shmona" settlement (occupied Palestinian town of al-Khalisa) using a kamikaze drone, resulting in confirmed casualties, as per the statement of the Islamic Resistance.
The Lebanese Resistance group simultaneously targeted the Israeli al-Baghdadi military site using appropriate weapons.
Resistance attacks, nonstop
Earlier today, three attacks targeted Israeli military barracks, including the headquarters of the IOF's 91st Division in the "Biranit" Barracks at 1:45 pm, while another three targeted Israeli soldiers and assets across three military sites.
Although the attacks were concentrated in the western district of operations, Hezbollah fighters targeted the Zebdine military site in the Israeli-occupied Lebanese Shebaa Farms twice.
The Resistance's initial attack at 9:45 am targeted the site using the "appropriate weapons" for the mission, confirming direct hits to intended targets, and then at 2:50 pm, they targeted the site again with Burkan rockets.
It is worth noting that Burkan rockets carry large high-explosive payloads that can reach up to 500 kg.
The Lebanese Resistance faction then launched consecutive attacks on Israeli military targets in the Western sector at noon, Tuesday. The first targeted Israeli soldiers spread across the vicinity of the Ramya military site at 11:40 am confirming direct hits to the intended targets.
Nearby, Hezbollah fighters launched an attack on an Israeli reconnaissance unit, positioned in a structure within the "Shomera" Barracks at noon. The Islamic Resistance confirmed that the members of the unit were killed or injured, as a result of accurate hits at the target.
10 minutes past noon, Hezbollah fighters targeted a grouping of Israeli soldiers positioned within the "Dovev" Barracks with the appropriate weapons.
The Islamic Resistance carried on its operations through Tuesday afternoon, targeting a grouping of Israeli soldiers at al-Raheb military site, confirming casualties among the enemy force at 1:45 pm (local time).
In a related context, Hezbollah mourned two of its fighters who were martyred on the path to Al-Quds: Hadi Hassan Awala, "Haidar Ali", from Ghobeiri, the Southern Suburb of Beirut, and Ahmad Hassan Al-Dirani, "Amir Ali", from Qsarnaba, Bekaa.
The Lebanese Islamic Resistance has lately deployed new weapons and tactics in its latest round of confrontations with “Israel” in response to the Israeli massacres against civilians in #Gaza and the killing of Lebanese civilians.

IOF: 9 soldiers hurt, including 1 seriously
Nine Israeli soldiers were injured, one of them seriously, in a missile attack in "Shomera" in northern "Israel", as reported by the IOF.
Hezbollah launched a missile from Lebanon targeting the Israeli settlement of "Shomera", resulting in moderate injuries to a settler. As IOF arrived at the site, Hezbollah fired more missiles, injuring nine other soldiers, as per Israeli media.
One IOF soldier was reportedly in critical condition, while the condition of the remaining ranged between minor and moderate, Israeli media reported.
Earlier, the spokesperson for the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) announced that an Israeli occupation officer was killed in a guided missile attack launched by Hezbollah on December 22 after he succumbed to his wounds on Tuesday.
The Staff Sergeant served under the 199th Amrored Briagde's 71st Battalion and is the second to be announced dead from the same formation as a result of attacks carried out by the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon. On that day, two attacks via anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs) targeted groupings of Israeli soldiers and officers in the vicinity of the Israeli-occupied Lebanese town of Tarbikha.
As the Israeli military admitted its casualties, Hezbollah carried out nine operations targeting Israeli positions and sites from South Lebanon.
