Confronting Israeli aggression

Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement says it has launched a barrage of missiles, targeting an Israeli base near the northern occupied city of Haifa. Hezbollah said, in a statement, that an Israeli Merkava tank was hit as well while it was advancing toward the Maroun forest area in southern Lebanon. The attack inflicted casualties upon the regime’s forces. Earlier, the Lebanese resistance fended off Israeli troops trying to force into the southern Lebanese town of al-Adaisseh. Hezbollah also carried out retaliatory drone strikes, targeting Israeli forces in the occupied Palestinian territories. Hezbollah has repeatedly asserted that its attacks are in response to Israeli brutal air and artillery strikes on Lebanese towns and villages that have caused enormous civilian casualties.

Iran warns Israeli regime

For his part, Syria’s President Assad emphasized that resistance against any occupation, aggression and massacre is a legitimate right. He also hailed Iran’s retaliatory attacks against Israel and said the strike gave a strong lesson to the occupying regime. Before meeting President Assad, Iran’s foreign minister held talks with his Syrian counterpart, where he stressed the need for an urgent ceasefire in Lebanon and Gaza. Prior to his visit to Syria, Araghchi met with Lebanese officials in Beirut on Friday.
