Al Mayadeen's correspondent in South Lebanon reported today that the Israeli occupation artillery targeted Blida in the Marjeyoun district of southern Lebanon.

Our correspondent also mentioned that the occupation forces shelled the outskirts of the town of Aalma al-Shaab, adding that the occupation forces have also fired incendiary rockets at adjacent forests in the same area.

These attacks by the Israeli occupation coincided with the funeral procession of one of Hezbollah's Resistance fighters who was martyred on the path to Al-Quds.

It is worth noting that Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah has recently called, in a message addressed to Hezbollah media bodies and institutions, for adopting the designation of “martyrs on the path to al-Quds" in reference to the fighters who have ascended as martyrs since October 7.

Al Mayadeen correspondent in South Lebanon also conveyed the appeals from the mayor of Aitaroun to evacuate agricultural workers who were trapped by Israeli occupation forces following deliberate targeting and firing bullets in their direction.

In response to the ongoing attacks on Lebanon and the aggression on Gaza, the Resistance continues to target military positions and groupings of the Israeli occupation army.

Yesterday, the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah carried out an operation targeting an Israeli tank stationed at the "Avivim" military barracks adjacent to the Lebanese borders.

In a statement, Hezbollah said Resistance fighters launched an anti-tank guided missile ATGM at the Israeli tank and confirmed a direct impact, resulting in death and injuries among its crew.

Throughout the day, Israeli media reported that a total of four rockets were fired toward settlements in northern occupied Palestine.

Hezbollah has been gradually increasing its operations targeting Israeli military bases and outposts located on occupied Lebanese lands in support of Gaza, which is witnessing daily Israeli massacres.

In its latest report, the Palestinian Health Ministry said that the total number of martyrs in the Strip surpassed 7,000, including more than 2,900 children.

On Tuesday, the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah shelled "Khirbet al-Menara" and the "Biranit" barracks using missiles and mortar shells, the military media said Tuesday, confirming that several projectiles hit their targets after the Israeli occupation failed to intercept them.

Resistance factions from Lebanon launched Monday a barrage of rockets toward occupied Palestine, namely the settlement of "Kiryat Shmona", with reportedly at least one rocket hitting a target.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent in southern Lebanon also reported that the Islamic Resistance targeted five military Israeli outposts in "Biranit, Shtoula, Menara, al-Abad, and Jal al-Alam."

Moreover, a UAV launched from Lebanon on Monday infiltrated into the occupied Palestinian territories and reached the airspace of occupied Haifa before the Israeli occupation forces shot it down.

Air raid sirens were sounded out in the occupied city of Haifa on Monday afternoon before the Israeli occupation forces stated that its forces had intercepted a UAV that had entered the airspace of the occupied Palestinian territories from Lebanese territory, as reported by Israeli media.

The drone was intercepted over the bay of occupied Haifa, Israeli public broadcaster KAN reported.
