Fighters from the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement have separately struck espionage equipment and gatherings of Israeli troops stationed at military outposts close to the border between the Arab country and the 1948 occupied territories.

Hezbollah said in a brief statement that its fighters carried out an operation against an Israeli military position in the mountainous Har Addir region on Saturday, and struck the site with a salvo of missiles.

The resistance fighters also hit surveillance devices at the al-Raheb military base and destroyed them.

Additionally, Hezbollah members hit a gathering of Israeli soldiers east of Even Menachem moshav on the northern side of the occupied territories, causing casualties among the forces.

The group also fired a barrage of artillery shells at the Ruwaisat al-Alam site in the occupied Kfar Shuba Hills.

Hezbollah attack on Israeli military position injures 18: Reports

The regime’s Walla news website said the Hezbollah attack was “a carefully planned ambush.”

The Israeli regime has repeatedly attacked southern Lebanon since October 7, when it launched a genocidal war on Gaza that has killed at least 34,049 Palestinians, most of them women and children.

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

At least 349 people have been killed on the Lebanese border, including 68 civilians.

The fighting has forced the evacuation of tens of thousands from the northern part of the occupied territories, amid 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.
