Lebanon’s Hezbollah targets several more Israeli bases in support of Gaza

Lebanon’s Hezbollah and Israeli forces have exchanged fire across the southern Lebanese border, with the resistance movement launching retaliatory strikes on at least three military bases in the Israeli-occupied territories.

Lebanon's al-Mayadeen television network said Hezbollah carried out several attacks against Israeli occupation sites and settlements with “appropriate weapons” on Monday and left an unspecified number of casualties.

The Lebanese resistance movement confirmed the report and said in separate statements that Hezbollah’s strikes had “targeted the Birkat Risha site with appropriate weapons, hitting it directly.”

Hezbollah also said its fighters had targeted the Israeli military site of al-Samaqa with rockets, and struck the Ramta site in the occupied Lebanese Shebaa Farms with missile, achieving “direct hits” in both attacks.

The Lebanese resistance movement underlined that the strikes on the Israeli occupation sites were “in support of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, in support of their resistance, and in response to the Israeli attacks on villages and civilian homes in southern Lebanon.”

Israeli media claimed that the regime’s warplanes carried out airstrikes on the southern Lebanese border towns of Yarin, al-Bustan, and al-Adisa.

Two Israeli drone strikes also targeted Ghazieh, near the southern Lebanese city of Saida, reportedly hitting a warehouse belonging to a generator manufacturing factory and an iron manufacturing factory.

Exchanges of fire between Hezbollah and Israel have escalated since October last year when the occupying regime waged a war on Gaza, with reports saying at least 268 people on the Lebanese side, including Hezbollah fighters and civilians, have lost their lives.

Israel to ‘pay with blood’ price of killing Lebanese civilians: Nasrallah

Lebanon’s Hezbollah says the Israeli regime will “pay with blood” the price for the recent killing of civilians in the country’s south.

Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the secretary general of Hezbollah, warned in a televised speech on Friday that the Israeli regime will “pay with blood” the price for the killing of civilians in the country’s south, stressing that the resistance movement will not back down from supporting Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip

Israel launched the war on Gaza on October 7, 2023, after the territory’s resistance movements carried out a surprise retaliatory attack, dubbed Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, against the occupying entity.

The Israeli military has also been carrying out attacks against the Lebanese territory since then, prompting retaliatory strikes from Hezbollah in support of Gazans.

The movement has vowed to keep up its reprisal operations as long as the Tel Aviv regime continues its onslaught against Gaza.

The aggression against Gaza has so far claimed the lives of more than 29,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and left some 70,000 others wounded.
