Hezbollah fired more than 30 rockets from southern Lebanon towards the IOF 146th Division headquarters in Jaatoun, northwestern occupied Palestine, on Monday.

The Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah says it has targeted an Israeli military position in the northern occupied territories.

Hezbollah said in a statement on Monday that a volley of Katyusha rockets was fired at the newly established headquarters of the 146th Division in Giaton.

It added that the operation was carried out in response to Israel’s attacks on civilian areas in southern Lebanon, particularly in the town of Maaroub.

“The fighters of the Islamic Resistance on Monday, 12-08-2024, bombarded the newly-established command headquarters of the 146th Division in Jaatoun with Katyusha rocket barrages,” the statement said.

According to Hezbollah, the rocket attack was also aimed at showing the Lebanese movement’s support for Palestinians in Gaza.

According to the Israeli regime’s media, Israel’s Iron Dome air defense system was unable to intercept most of Hezbollah’s missiles.

The attack caused a huge fire in the western part of Galilee in the north of the occupied territories.

The Israeli regime has been conducting near-daily attacks against the southern parts of Lebanon since October 7, when it launched a genocidal war on Gaza.

Hezbollah has been responding with strikes aimed both at retaliating against the regime and supporting the war-hit Gazans.

The Israeli regime, which waged wars against Lebanon in 2000 and 2006, has, meanwhile, been repeatedly threatening to expand its attacks into another wholesale military onslaught against the country.

Hezbollah has vowed to defend the Lebanese soil with all its resources.

The resistance movement has also pledged to avenge the blood of Fuad Shukr, one of the group’s senior commanders, and Ismail Haniyeh, Hamas’ former political leader, who were killed in separate assassination operations conducted by Tel Aviv in Lebanon’s capital Beirut and the Iranian capital Tehran late last month.
