Lebanon’s resistance movement Hezbollah has carried out fresh retaliatory attacks on Israeli military positions and settlements in northern occupied Palestinian territories.

“In support of our steadfast Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and in support of their valiant and honorable resistance, and in defense of Lebanon and its people, the fighters of the Islamic Resistance, on Monday, 30-09-2024, targeted the ‘Sadah’ site with artillery shells, hitting it directly,” Hezbollah said in a statement issued on Monday morning.

The resistance movement said it also fired a barrage of Fadi-1 missiles toward the “Ovik” camp on Monday morning.

A squadron of drones also struck Israeli forces at the “Ali-atakim” camp, while artillery shells targeted the “Ramia” site.

A number of Israeli settlements came under Hezbollah's rocket attacks as well, while the occupied city of Safed was hit with a barrage of rockets.

The movement said the attacks were in response to brutal Israeli violations against Lebanese towns, villages and civilians.

It added that the retaliatory operations were also carried out in support of Palestinians in Gaza and their resistance.

The Lebanese Government Emergency Committee announced that the Israeli war machine launched 216 air attacks in the past 24 hours across Lebanon.

The Public Health Emergency Operations Center of Lebanon’s Ministry of Public Health said that a total of 105 people have been killed and 359 others wounded in the Israeli offensive.

The ministry said that the attacks were carried out “on towns and villages in southern Lebanon, the Bekaa, Baalbek-Hermel, and the southern suburbs of Beirut.”

The Israeli airstrikes are due to the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance group showing solidarity with and giving support to Palestinians since the Tel Aviv leaders unleashed a genocidal war against the besieged Gaza Strip in October 2023.

Since then, Israeli attacks on Lebanese targets have left hundreds of people dead.

Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, who led the resistance movement for over three decades, was himself martyred after Israeli regime forces bombarded a Beirut suburb using US-made jet fighters and bunker-buster bombs.
