Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement has targeted gatherings of Israeli forces at multiple positions in the occupied Palestinian territories with four successful strikes.
The movement announced conducting the strikes against the troops at the Fatima Gate, a former crossing near the southern Lebanese village of Kfar Kila and the town of Metula on the northern side of the occupied territories, on Monday.
The forces were struck with artillery shells and rocket barrages, it added.
The group said it conducted the retaliatory strikes “in support of our steadfast Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, in support of their brave and honorable resistance, and in defense of Lebanon and its people.”
Hezbollah has been conducting hundreds of such operations since last October, when the Israeli regime launched a genocidal war on Gaza that has so far killed close to 43,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and intensified its deadly aggression on Lebanon, claiming the lives of 2,672 people so far.
The movement also announced targeting the illegal settlement of Kiryat Shmona in the northern part of the occupied territories with a rocket salvo.
A Hezbollah drone, meanwhile, made impact in the Liman area in the northwestern part of the territories. The strike led to a fire, despite claims by the Israeli military that it had intercepted the aircraft.
Also on Monday, the group released a video depicting an earlier confrontation between its fighters and Israeli forces in the vicinity of the towns of Taybeh and Rab Thalatheen on the southern Lebanese border.
The confrontation came after the fighters monitored advancement of the forces’ vehicles towards the area, and featured their chasing the troops with strikes and prompting them to withdraw after they retrieved their casualties.
Hezbollah has vowed to sustain its strikes until the regime ceases its war on Gaza and intensified attacks on Lebanon.
