The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon announced Friday that it attacked the Israeli military site of "Birket Risha" two consecutive times using Burkan rockets and artillery strikes, adding that numerous casualties could be confirmed.

The Resistance also announced earlier in the day that it attacked an Israeli assembly point in the vicinity of the al-Dahira military site using Burkan rockets.

Israeli media reported that 8-10 rockets were fired from Lebanon toward the northern Israeli settlement of "Kiryat Shmona", with settlers reporting at least four explosions being heard.

Israeli media outlets also reported that anti-armor missiles were launched from Lebanon toward the area between "Shtula" and "Zar'it" in the western al-Jalil.

In the aftermath of the operations, Israeli media said an Israeli military site was severely damaged after being hit with a Burkan rocket.

The operations come amid heightened concerns in the north about Hezbollah's response to the Israeli occupation's assassination of a major Hamas official on Lebanese soil.

According to the Israeli channel KAN, Israeli settlers in northern occupied Palestine indicated that they are on high alert after settlement mayors told residents not to return to their homes in the coming days.

The northern Israeli settlement of "Kiryat Shmona" has long been aware of the threat of rocket launches from Lebanon; however, in recent months, the continuous threat to it has led to the evacuation of most of its settlers, a Yedioth Ahronoth report revealed on Wednesday.

Evacuations on the rise

Mayor Avihai Stern urged all settlers to evacuate, expressing concern about Hezbollah's potential response to Hamas top official Saleh al-Arouri's assassination.

"I believe that since October 7, we have been engaged in a battle: feeling and hearing it distinctly... Unfortunately, there is damage to both property and lives," Stern told Ynet.

"I hear various euphemisms, almost like a war, a war of attrition, and all sorts of different definitions... Comrades, this is war... There is no other definition for the situation, and I don't know what escalation is," the Israeli mayor added.

On another note, The New York Times reported on the growing frustration of tens of thousands of Israelis who were transferred from the blue-line area.

The newspaper indicated that they had become "increasingly disturbed by the strikes" carried out by the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon since October 8, after which they were transferred from the northern settlements.

The “prolonged turmoil” and economic repercussions have increased pressure on the Israeli forces and government “to take stronger steps to end the daily attack with rockets and missiles launched by Hezbollah” and other resistance factions in Lebanon on Israeli forces and settlements in northern occupied Palestine, according to the newspaper.

The targeting of any resistance leader on Lebanese soil was something the Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah had previously warned against.

Moreover, the targeting of the southern suburbs of Beirut in an incident that was the first of its kind since the war between Lebanon and "Israel" ended in 2006.

Sayyed Nasrallah discussed in his speech on Wednesday al-Arouri's assassination, where he underlined that the crime committed by "Israel" was an act of aggression on the southern suburbs of Beirut.

"The assassination of Sheikh Saleh al-Arouri is a flagrant, dangerous crime that will not go unanswered," he stressed.
