The Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah has launched a barrage of missiles at an Israeli military outpost in the occupied territories in retaliation for the Tel Aviv regime’s unrelenting strikes across Lebanon, which left more than a thousand people dead and many more injured.

The group announced in a brief statement on Sunday that it had launched an attack on Ovik outpost.

The resistance movement stated that the strike, which involved dozens of Fadi 1 missiles, was a demonstration of solidarity with Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip, while also serving as a response to barbaric violations that Israel is perpetrating in various parts of Lebanon.

Also, five rockets launched from Lebanon landed in areas near the city of Tiberias in the northern part of the Israeli-occupied territories on Sunday.

The Israeli daily newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported that rocket alert sirens were activated in the city of Tiberias and the southern Golan Heights, prompting illegal settlers to run for cover.

The official Lebanese National News Agency reported that at least 11 people were killed on Sunday in an Israeli airstrike targeting a house in the town of Ain in the Bekaa Valley in northeastern Lebanon.

The report stated that six bodies were recovered from the rubble following the airstrike, while rescue operations are ongoing to retrieve five more victims.

Additionally, at least four people were killed Sunday when Israeli fighter jets targeted a civil defense center operated by the Islamic Scout Association in the town of Tayr Debba in southern Lebanon.

Israeli warplanes also carried out intense airstrikes on Tyre, the southern towns of Kfarchouba and Kfar Kila, as well as Hermel and its surrounding areas in eastern Lebanon.

According to the Lebanese Health Ministry, thirty-three people were killed and 195 wounded in Israeli air strikes on Lebanon on Sunday.

On Saturday evening, a rocket launched from southern Lebanon fell in the illegal Israeli settlement of Benjamin, near the occupied West Bank city of al-Quds, sparking fires.

The development marked the first time since last October that the Israeli army reported a rocket launch from southern Lebanon towards the al-Quds area.
