Al-Quds Brigades and Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wings of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) and Hamas, respectively, announced that they shelled an Israeli occupation forces vehicle assembly in Al-Waha, northwest of Beit Lahia, using extensive mortar shelling.

Al-Qassam Brigades said its fighters were engaged in intense clashes with occupation forces using automatic weapons and anti-tank weaponry in the northwestern Gaza Strip.

They reported that they successfully targeted two tanks belonging to invading forces in the same region, causing them to catch fire.

Additionally, Al-Qassam declared that they struck the Zionist "Erez" site with mortar shells and rockets to disrupt the rescue efforts for the targeted vehicles in the vicinity of the site.

Furthermore, the National Resistance Brigades (Martyr Omar Al-Qassem Forces) announced shelling "Erez" with heavy mortar shells.

Moreover, Al-Quds Brigades launched salvoes of rockets at "Tel Aviv" and occupied cities in response to the occupation's atrocities against civilians.

Lebanese Resistance joins the offensive

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon announced Sunday that they shelled two Israeli occupation forces gathering and sites in northern occupied Palestine.

The Resistance fighters attacked the IOF sites after they discovered an Israeli infantry unit at the Malkiya location and its surroundings through meticulous surveillance. They immediately targeted it, confirming that the strike resulted in several casualties.

The statement clarified that this shelling occurred at 15:45 on Sunday, October 29, 2023.

The Islamic Resistance also announced that their fighters targeted an Israeli UAV in the eastern Khiam region with a surface-to-air missile.

The UAV was directly hit and could be seen as it was downed over occupied Palestine.

Additionally, the resistance announced that they bombed the Summaka site in the occupied Shebaa Farms of Lebanon.

Al-Fajr Forces, the military wing of the Lebanese Al-Jamaa Al-Islamiya (Islamic Group), claims the shelling of northern occupied Palestine with rockets.

"Our rocket strikes will continue and increase as the Zionist enemy persists in its aggression against our people in southern Lebanon and Gaza," Al-Fajr Forces added.

Israeli media reported that four rockets were launched from the occupied Shebaa Farms towards "Hatzor Haglilit" and "Rosh Pina." Two were intercepted, while the others landed in open areas.

Simultaneously, Israeli media reported that air raid sirens blared in the northern areas of Al-Jalil as well as in "Kiryat Shmona", where two rockets fell on several buildings and a fire erupted in one of them.

The Israeli occupation forces then claimed to have intercepted two rockets launched from southern Lebanon toward northern occupied Palestine, while a third rocket landed in an open area.

An Al Mayadeen correspondent in southern Lebanon reported that the Israeli "Risha" site was targeted off the town of Al-Bustan, and a reconnaissance tower in "Burkat Risha" was hit.

It was also confirmed that the Israeli military's artillery continued shelling the outskirts of the towns of Marwahin, Al-Bustan, and Yarin.

Fear of Hezbollah has Israeli occupation forces in shambles, paranoia

Fires broke out near al-Abbad Israeli military site after occupation forces based inside opened fire within the parameters of the base, using machine guns and mortars, as a result of heightened fear of a Hezbollah operation, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported on Saturday.

Explosions were heard inside the base while Israeli soldiers continued to launch flares over towns near the Lebanese border, he added.

Meanwhile, our correspondent added that Israeli airstrikes targeted the heights of Halta and the outskirts of the village of Beit Lif.

Meanwhile, the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) reported that their headquarters was hit by a shell and that they are currently working to ascertain its origin.

A Lebanese military source informed AFP that an "Israeli shell breached the concrete wall" surrounding the UNIFIL headquarters in the border town of Naqoura. This marks the second time that an Israeli round has struck the UN mission's headquarters during the recent border escalations.

In a related development, Hezbollah announced targeting two Israeli occupation military bases near the Lebanese border using a range of different weapons.

In a statement, the Resistance said it targeted a gathering of Israeli soldiers in "Abu Dajjaj," confirming inflicting injuries among the forces. Moreover, "Zar'it" Israeli barracks were targeted by Hezbollah using appropriate weapons, the statement added, confirming direct and precise hits.

Earlier in the day, Hezbollah announced that they targeted four Israeli military sites in north-occupied Palestine; al-Abbad and Risha outposts, in addition to al-Jardah and al-Marj bases. The Resistance confirmed all operations achieved their objectives and were conducted using a range of different weapons.
