All the rockets launched by Hezbollah toward northern occupied Palestine since Wednesday morning have hit their targets directly, Israeli media reported.

Tamir Morg, the political affairs correspondent for the Israeli Channel 14, indicated that those who believe Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah is targeting specific houses or military sites are missing the point of the Lebanese group's operations.

He pointed out that Sayyed Nasrallah's goal "is to empty the north of settlers and eventually all of Israel."

Amid Hezbollah's intense rocket fire toward northern occupied Palestine, Yair Elkayam, the commander of the Israeli Fire and Rescue Service in the north, said that fires have spread and put several Israeli settlements and strategic facilities at risk.

This comes as the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah carried out on Wednesday a series of operations in support of Gaza and in response to Israeli attacks on Lebanese towns and villages, particularly the assassination carried out in the town of Jwaya on Tuesday, which resulted in civilian casualties and the martyrdom of Commander Talib Sami Abdallah (Hajj Talib).

In one of a string of operations, Hezbollah announced that its fighters targeted the Plasan factory specializing in vehicle and equipment armor for the Israeli occupation army in the Sasa settlement with guided missiles, hitting it directly.

The Resistance fighters also bombarded the reserve headquarters of the Northern Corps at the Galilee Division base and its storage area in Amiad.

Hezbollah said its fighters bombarded the headquarters of the Air Control Unit and Air Operations Department in the northern direction at the Meron base with dozens of Katyusha rockets and artillery shells.

Meanwhile, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported on Wednesday morning that a massive barrage of rockets was fired on the northern region, stressing that "the rocket barrages that were fired from Lebanon are the largest in terms of rocket type and number since the beginning of the war."

Our correspondent confirmed that the rocket fire lasted for about half an hour, involving dozens of rockets, noting that the targeted area is vast and deep within northern occupied Palestinian territory, including Tabarayya.

Israeli media reported sirens sounding in more than 32 settlements, with the sounds of explosions being heard clearly in Tabarayya, Safad, and their vicinity, as well as in many al-Jalil settlements, Haifa, Akka, and HaKrayot.

The media pointed out that many areas in the north saw power outages due to the latest rocket barrage from Hezbollah, while fires broke out in several areas as a result.
