Hezbollah hits Israeli Merkava tanks in southern Lebanon
The Hezbollah resistance movement has carried out more retaliatory attacks on Israeli positions in the occupied territories and in southern Lebanon.
Hezbollah said on Saturday morning that it targeted three Merkava tanks with guided missiles.
Two of the tanks were on the outskirts of the southern Lebanese town of Odaisseh and the other was near the "Misgav Am" site in occupied Palestine.
The tanks were burned down and their crews were either killed or wounded.
Hezbollah also launched an air attack on an Israeli army base east of the city of Safad in northern occupied territories.
The attack was carried out with a swarm of explosives-laden drones.
In addition, Hezbollah fighters targeted the settlement of “Kiryat Shmona” with a rocket barrage.
The resistance group went on to say that the operation was “in defense of Lebanon” and in response to Israeli attacks on Lebanese cities, villages and civilians.
Israel continues deadly airstrikes on Lebanon
Israel on Friday continued its aggression against Lebanon, targeting everyone from journalists to health workers to peacekeepers.
Three journalists were killed and several wounded in an Israeli air strike on their accommodation in the southern Lebanese town of Hasbaiyya.
Meanwhile, UN peacekeepers said Israeli soldiers once again opened fire on one of their observation posts in south Lebanon.
Previous Israeli attacks on the peacekeepers had drawn worldwide condemnation.
Also, Lebanon said Israeli strikes have killed more than 160 rescuers and health workers since last October.
Israel has been targeting Lebanon since October 2023, when it launched a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip. As many as 2,483 Lebanese people have been killed and 11,628 others wounded as a result of the regime’s intensified attacks against the country.
Hezbollah has been responding to the aggression with numerous retaliatory operations, targeting the occupied Palestinian territories.
