Fighters from Lebanon's Hezbollah resistance movement have conducted a series of operations against Israeli military positions at the northern part of the 1948 occupied territories in response to the brutal aggression on Gaza, and in retaliation for assaults on southern Lebanese regions.

Hezbollah said in a brief statement that its members launched a salvo of rockets at the Israeli Ramtha military outpost in the occupied Kfar Shuba hills, hitting the designated targets precisely.

The resistance group also targeted the al-Summaqa site with a barrage of rockets, and Zar'it barracks with artillery shells.

Moreover, Hezbollah fighters launched a squadron of kamikaze drones at the newly-established headquarters of Israeli forces at Hanita kibbutz in the Western Galilee region. The aerial assault caused fatalities and casualties among the troops stationed there.

The movement said the airstrike came in reprisal for Israeli attacks on the southern Lebanese town of Adloun and Houla village.

Hezbollah fires dozens of rockets from Lebanon at northern occupied territories

Hezbollah resistance fighters have launched dozens of rockets from southern Lebanon at strategic sites in the northern side of the 1948 Israeli-occupied territories.

Separately, Hezbollah said its fighters targeted the command center of the Israeli military’s Northern Corps at Ein Zeitim base with Grad rockets, resulting in “direct hits.”

Hezbollah and Israel have been exchanging deadly fire since early October last year, shortly after the regime launched a genocidal war against the Gaza Strip following a surprise operation by Hamas.

The Lebanese resistance movement has vowed to keep up its retaliatory attacks as long as the Israeli regime continues its Gaza war, which has so far killed at least 38,983 Palestinians, mostly women and children.

Hezbollah officials have repeatedly said they do not want a war with Israel while stressing that they are prepared in case it occurs.

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.
