Lebanon’s Hezbollah targets Israeli military sites with 'squadron of attack drones'
Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement has carried out fresh retaliatory attacks against a number of strategic Israeli military positions in the northern part of the occupied territories in support of Lebanese soil and Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip.
Hezbollah said in separate statements on Thursday that the resistance group targeted the Branit barracks “with heavy artillery shells and achieved a direct hit.”
The fighters of Hezbollah also launched drone attacks on positions of Israeli soldiers in Kiryat Shmona settlement and struck spying equipment in one of the occupation army’s sites.
“In support of our steadfast Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and in support of their brave and honorable resistance, and in response to the Israeli enemy’s attacks on the steadfast southern villages and safe homes, the fighters of the Islamic Resistance, on Thursday, 22-08-2024, launched an aerial attack with a squadron of attack drones on positions of Israeli soldiers in the Kiryat Shmona settlement, hitting their targets with precision,” Hezbollah said in a statement.
The resistance group also “targeted surveillance equipment at the Jal al-Alam site with an attack drone, achieving a direct hit.”
In the early hours of Thursday, the Israeli military launched airstrikes on over 10 areas in southern Lebanon amid escalating tensions between the usurping regime and Hezbollah.
Local media reported that the Israeli raids targeted the Lebanese villages of Kfar Kila, Kawthariyat al-Siyad, Ramya, Zibqin, Aita al-Shaab, Mhaibib, Kfar Chouba, and the Shebaa Farms.
There has been no report on possible casualties or damage caused by the Israeli strikes.
The Israeli regime has been staging numerous sporadic attacks against southern Lebanon since October 7, when it launched a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.
Hezbollah has launched a series of strikes against Israeli positions in retaliation for the regime’s aggression against Lebanon and in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.
In the most recent one, Hezbollah on Wednesday launched a series of drone and rocket attacks on key Israeli military targets, including the Tsnobar base in in Syria's Tel Aviv-occupied Golan Heights.
