Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement has conducted a drone strike against an Israeli military outpost in the occupied Golan Heights in support of Palestinians amid the Tel Aviv regime’s unrelenting ground and aerial offensives against the Gaza Strip.

Lebanon’s al-Mayadeen television news channel, citing a Hezbollah statement, reported that the group launched a squadron of kamikaze drones towards a gathering of Israeli troops stationed at the Yarden barracks on Sunday, and targeted an Iron Dome battery with the explosive-laden unmanned aerial vehicles.

The statement added that the radar systems at the barracks were destroyed and put out of service as a result of the attack. A number of Israeli troops were also killed and wounded.

Later in the day, the Lebanese resistance fighters attacked the Israeli al-Marj site with a barrage of artillery shells, precisely striking the designated targets.

Israel launched its brutal war on Gaza on October 7 last year after Palestinian resistance groups carried out a historic operation against the usurping regime in retaliation for its intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.

The Israeli military has also been conducting attacks against the Lebanese territory since then, prompting retaliatory strikes from Hezbollah on a nearly daily basis in support of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.

Hezbollah has pledged to keep up its retaliatory operations as long as the Tel Aviv regime continues its onslaught on Gaza.

At least 36,379 Palestinians have since been killed in the besieged enclave, the vast majority being women and children, and another 82,407 individuals injured, according to local health authorities.

Nearly eight months into the Israeli genocide, vast swathes of Gaza lie in ruins amid a crippling blockade of food, clean water and medicine.
