Hezbollah says it has launched a barrage of rockets towards the Israeli-occupied town of Haifa.

The Lebanese resistance movement said in a statement on Tuesday its fighters launched “a big rocket salvo” at Haifa “in defense of Lebanon and its people.”

Hezbollah fighters also targeted “three bulldozers and a Merkava tank on the outskirts of Ramia with guided missiles” near a southern Lebanese border village, said the statement.

The resistance fighters, it said, had also launched “a rocket barrage at Tel Aviv's suburbs” on Monday.

Hezbollah warned it will hit targets across the occupied territories if Israel continues its savagery against the people of Lebanon.

Israel carried out dozens of airstrikes on southern and eastern Lebanon on Tuesday afternoon, according to Lebanese authorities.

On Monday, the regime's airstrikes claimed the lives of at least 41 people, according the health ministry of Lebanon. The death toll included 21 people who were killed in an air attack that hit a residential building in a northern village.

Hezbollah’s deputy secretary general Sheikh Naim Qassem said earlier on Tuesday that the resistance group "will not be defeated" in its war with the Israeli regime. The only solution to the escalating conflict, he said, is to reach a ceasefire in both Lebanon and the Gaza Strip.
