Shortly after the aggression, the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah announced that its fighters targeted the newly established 91st Division headquarters at the Illit base with dozens of Katyusha rockets, detailing that the operation was carried out as a response to the assassination carried out by the enemy in Kfar Dajjal.

Earlier this month, four civilians from a single family were killed and five others were injured in an Israeli airstrike that targeted the border town of Mays al-Jabal.

"What happened in the village of Mays al-Jabal is that a group of civilians was trying to retrieve their personal belongings from there when they were targeted by the Israeli airstrike," Al Mayadeen's correspondent in South Lebanon revealed at the time.

The Israeli occupation forces on Wednesday carried out several strikes in southern Lebanon, namely on Ayta al-Shaab and Mays al-Jabal using artillery.

In response, the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah announced Wednesday that it carried out several operations against the Israeli occupation forces, further dealing extensive damage to the military infrastructure of the Israeli occupation forces.

The current operations are part of the Resistance movements' regional efforts aimed at exerting pressure on the Israeli occupation, depleting its forces, and backing the Palestinian Resistance and the people in Gaza, as well as the Lebanese population.
