Hezbollah strikes Israeli forces in fresh retaliation, causing ‘multiple deaths, injuries’
Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement has carried out fresh retaliatory airstrikes against Israeli forces deployed to the northern part of the occupied Palestinian territories, killing and injuring a number of the targeted troops.
The movement said it had fired “swarms of assault drones” towards the Ya’ara barracks and the Snat Jeen base in the Western al-Jalil region on Monday.
It identified the Ya’ara barracks as the headquarters of the regime’s “Western Brigade 300” and the Snat Jeen base as a logistical base belonging to its Northern Command.
The retaliation “hit the targets accurately and resulted in a number of deaths and injuries among them,” added the group.
Israeli media outlets said two people were critically injured as a result of the strike on Ya’ara.
Hezbollah said the reprisal had followed an Israeli drone attack against the Qadmous area east of the city of Tyre in southern Lebanon on Saturday that had reportedly resulted in the death of one person.
The regime has been conducting near-daily attacks against southern Lebanon since October 7, when it launched a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.
Hezbollah has been responding with strikes aimed both at retaliating against the regime and supporting the war-hit Gazans.
The movement’s Monday statement likewise noted that the latest retaliation had also taken place “in support of our steadfast Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and in support of their valiant and honorable resistance.”
The regime, which waged wars against Lebanon in 2000 and 2006, has repeatedly threatened to expand its attacks into another wholesale military onslaught against the country.
Hezbollah has vowed to defend the Lebanese soil with all its resources.
It has also pledged to avenge the blood of Fuad Shukr, one of the group’s senior commanders, and Ismail Haniyeh, the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas’ former political leader.
The resistance figures were martyred in separate assassination operations conducted by Tel Aviv in Lebanon’s capital Beirut and the Iranian capital Tehran late last month.
