Hezbollah counterattacks
The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon announced, since early Monday morning, a series of operations in which Hezbollah fighters targeted several Israeli military sites in southern Lebanon and northern Israel. Hezbollah said in several military announcements that the resistance fighters targeted, for the third time, an enemy troops gathering at the Fatima Gate with a missile barrage.
The Islamic Resistance targeted Israeli soldiers gathering between the settlements of “Al-Manara” and “Margalit” with missile barrages on two occasions. Over the past 24 hours, the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon executed 29 operations and attacks against Israeli military targets and others targeting settlements and barracks in northern Israel and southern Lebanon.
Hezbollah carried out an aerial attack with a swarm of kamikaze drones on the “Yodifot” military industry company in the Bar-Lev industrial area southeast of Akko. It targeted gatherings of Israeli soldiers with missile barrages and kamikaze drones in the settlements of: Al-Malikiah, Karmiel, Margalit, Al-Manara (three times), Be’er Ya’akov, Misgav Am (twice), Nahariya, and Yad Eliezer.
The Islamic Resistance bombarded occupation forces and gatherings of Israeli soldiers with missile barrages, kamikaze drones, and artillery shells at the northern entrance of the Marj site, at the Fatima Gate, and at the outskirts of the town of Aitaroun (twice), south of the town of Dahira, in Khela Naif at the outskirts of the town of Hula.
It continued, “The Islamic Resistance fighters targeted an Israeli infantry force in the town of Hula with a guided missile, in addition to bombarding the Ibla outpost, the Zawara position, and the Zofolun military industry base north of Haifa.”
The Islamic Resistance’s air defense unit intercepted Israeli warplanes in the skies of the western sector and a “Hermes 900” drone with surface-to-air missiles, forcing it to leave Lebanese airspace. An attack was launched with kamikaze drones on the settlements of: Kfar Yuval, Sa’sa, Zar’it, and Shomera.
Hezbollah issued an urgent warning early Monday to settlers in the Kiryat Shmona settlement, similar to warnings given to other settlements in northern Israel, calling for their “immediate evacuation.”
The warning text, published by Hezbollah on its official Instagram page early Monday, read, “To the residents of the Kiryat Shmona settlement, you must evacuate immediately.”
Hezbollah published warnings for residents of several settlements in northern Israel to evacuate, “after they became places where the Israeli army is stationed and attacks Lebanon.” Hezbollah had previously issued a video through the military media of the Islamic Resistance, ordering evacuations for several settlements and demanding their residents to leave.
It warned: “By doing so, they have become legitimate military targets for the air and missile forces of the Islamic Resistance.”
