Hezbollah fires barrage of retaliatory rockets at Israeli barracks after deadly strike

Hezbollah resistance movement has launched a barrage of retaliatory rockets at an Israeli military barracks in the northern part of the 1948 Israeli-occupied territories in response to a deadly air strike against an emergency center in southern Lebanon.

Lebanon’s Arabic-language al-Manar television channel, citing a brief Hezbollah statement, reported that the group struck the outpost inside Kiryat Shmona city, close to the border with Lebanon, on Wednesday morning with dozens of projectiles.

The report added that the rockets struck the Command Center of the Israeli military’s 769th Brigade in the Kiryat Shmona Barracks.

The reprisal attack came after seven medical staff were killed in an Israeli air strike on an emergency center in Habbariyeh in southern Lebanon.

Israeli media outlets, meanwhile, reported that a 25-year-old man has been declared dead after being pulled out of a building struck by a Hezbollah rocket in Kiryat Shmona’s industrial zone.

The man, who is not a Kiryat Shmona resident, had no vital signs when he was pulled out of the industrial structure by rescue workers, the Israeli Magen David Adom ambulance service said.

Another man in his 30s, was rescued unharmed from the damaged building.

According to the Israeli military, a barrage of at least 30 rockets were fired from Lebanon at the northern city of Kiryat Shmona.

Seven medical staff killed in Israeli attack on south Lebanon's emergency center

At least seven rescuers are killed when an Israeli air strike targeted an emergency and relief center in Lebanon’s southern village of Habbariyeh.

Early on Wednesday, an Israeli airstrike targeted the Islamic Group’s emergency and relief center in Lebanon’s southern village of Habbariyeh.

Jamaa Islamiya, a Lebanese group closely linked to the Gaza-based Palestinian resistance movement Hamas, said in a statement that “a number” of people had been killed, and called the strike a “heinous crime.”

An official from the group said “seven rescuers” were killed in the aerial assault.

The Israeli regime has been attacking southern Lebanon off and on since October 7, when it launched the devastating campaign of death and destruction in Gaza, killing more than 32,200 Palestinians.

In retaliation, Hezbollah has launched near-daily rocket attacks on Israeli positions.

At least 322 people have been killed on the Lebanese border, including 56 civilians.

Israel says at least ten of its troopers and seven settlers have been killed in the area.

The fighting has forced the evacuation of tens of thousands from the northern part of the occupied territories, which have been pummeled by rocket fire and shelling carried out by Hezbollah and allied Palestinian groups.

Hezbollah has already fought off two Israeli wars against Lebanon in 2000 and 2006. The resistance forced the regime to retreat in both conflicts.
