The group said the operation was in response to the Israeli attack and assassination carried out in the southern Lebanese town of Shaqra.

Hezbollah brings new settlements within its fire range
Touching on the latest developments along the northern border of occupied Palestine, Israeli commentators unanimously confirmed that Hezbollah has expanded its range of targets, bringing new settlements within its fire range.
During a debate on the Israeli Kan channel, Israeli minister of education, Yoav Kisch, addressed the heads of the councils of frontline settlements, telling them that the scholastic year will not start in the evacuated settlements on the border with Lebanon.
The Israeli channel noted that the Minister's statement came after a day of fighting, "which included gunfire on new settlements, as [Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan] Nasrallah promised."
Kan channel's northern correspondent, Rubi Hammerschlag, suggested that "it seems that no one in Israel cares," as Hezbollah's expansion of its fire range has not been met with response.
Hammerschlag highlighted that, on Monday night, there was a relatively unusual event, with Hezbollah focusing its fire on the settlement of Tzuriel near Hurfeish, noting that it had not been evacuated.
Hezbollah announced that Tzuriel was included in its fire plan and was bombarded for the first time with dozens of Katyusha rockets in response to the Israeli attack that targeted civilians in the town of Hanin, which resulted in the injury of a family.
Sayyed Nasrallah had vowed that any renewed Israeli strikes on Lebanese civilians would be met with retaliatory attacks from Resistance fighters, targeting settlements that had remained untouched since the confrontation began on October 8, 2023.
Meanwhile, evacuated settlers from the Metulla settlement told the Israeli Channel 13 that "the situation in the north is a continuous nightmare for hundreds of thousands of people."
