This picture shows the aftermath of an attack by Lebanese Hezbollah resistance fighters against the Israeli Hadan al-Bustan military site in the 1948 occupied territories on May 7, 2024.

Fighters from the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah have conducted a series of operations, aiming at various Israeli military positions in the northern part of the 1948 occupied territories.

Hezbollah said in a statement it carried out an attack with a squadron of kamikaze drones against the headquarters of the 91st Division in Nahal Gershom area of the Upper Galilee region on Tuesday.

The statement said the drone strike caused casualties among Israeli soldiers at the site. A fire erupted in an open area in Upper Galilee as a result of the aerial attack.

The blaze was extinguished by five firefighting teams, Israeli Channel 12 reported.

The Lebanese resistance group said the attack was in solidarity with Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, their brave and honorable resistance fighters, and in reprisal for the Israeli military offensive on the Beqaa Valley in eastern Lebanon.

Hezbollah: All sensitive Israeli targets within range; Tel Aviv seeks to make up for losses

Hezbollah says waging war on Lebanon will not help the Israeli regime make up for its defeats.

Moreover, Hezbollah fighters launched artillery rounds and rockets at Bayad Blida and Birkat Risha outposts, hitting designated targets there precisely.

In a separate statement, the group said its fighters had struck Ramtha site in the occupied Lebanese Kfar Shuba hills with a barrage of rockets.

Hezbollah also targeted Zebdine outpost with several rockets, achieving a direct hit.

Hezbollah has been carrying out almost daily rocket attacks on Israeli positions in retaliation for the regime’s aggression against Lebanon and in solidarity with Palestinians.

The genocidal war in Gaza has killed over 37,650 Palestinians, predominantly women and children so far.

At least 480 people have also been killed on the Lebanese border, including 93 civilians, according to a tally by AFP.

Two Israeli wars waged against Lebanon in 2000 and 2006 were met with strong resistance from Hezbollah, resulting in the retreat of the regime in both conflicts.
