Hezbollah says Israeli forces suffer casualties after infiltration in Lebanon repelled
Fighters from the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement have shelled and fired a barrage of rockets at a group of Israeli forces as they were attempting to sneak across the border from the northern part of the 1948 occupied territories into southern Lebanon.
Hezbollah said in a statement early on Monday that its members carried out the operation after they closely monitored the Israeli troops that sought to infiltrate Lebanon in the Hadab Aita forest area.
The attack caused casualties and forced the Israeli troops to retreat, the resistance group noted.
On Sunday, Hezbollah claimed a series of attacks on the northern side of the occupied lands, including a rocket attack on military barracks in Beit Hillel and military positions in Jal al-Allam, al-Malikiya, Zabadani and Shtula.
Hezbollah fighters also targeted and destroyed spying devices at the Ruwaisat al-Alam site in the occupied Lebanese Kfar Shuba hills with artillery shells.
Moreover, Israeli Zebdine and Ruwaisat al-Qarn military sites in the occupied Lebanese Shebaa Farms were struck with separate rocket barrages, and the designated targets were precisely hit.
Hezbollah resistance forces also targeted espionage devices at the Misgav Am site, and shelled the Rahib site.
A state of anticipation and caution prevails in Lebanon following the assassination of senior Hezbollah military commander Fuad Shukr in an Israeli airstrike on a building in the southern Beirut suburb of Dahieh on July 30.
Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah has vowed retaliation for the act of terror.
Hezbollah and Israel have been exchanging deadly fire since early October last year, shortly after the regime launched the genocidal war against the Gaza Strip in response to a surprise operation by the Palestinian Hamas resistance group.
The Lebanese resistance movement has vowed to keep up its retaliatory attacks as long as the Israeli regime continues its war on Gaza, which has so far killed more than 40,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, in the besieged territory.
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.
