Lebanon’s resistance movement Hezbollah has conducted new military operations against Israel amid rising tensions along Lebanon’s southern borders.

Hezbollah said in a statement on Friday that it has launched several rockets, targeting a barracks in the settlement of Kiryat Shmona in northern occupied territories.

According to Israeli media, the regime's two soldiers were injured.

The Lebanese resistance group also targeted a building used by Israeli soldiers in the occupied Shlomi settlement.

Meanwhile, Israeli media sources said the regime’s forces fired shells on the outskirts of al-Fakhar and Kfar Shuba in southern Lebanon on Friday night.

Several launches from Lebanon were identified in different areas of the Upper Galilee, Israeli sources said, claiming that some of them were intercepted.

Earlier, the resistance fighters struck a gathering of Israeli troops in Admit settlement with appropriate weapons, hitting the designated targets precisely. The attack caused a fire in the area and inflicted casualties on the Israeli forces.

Hezbollah also published video footage of its strikes on Israeli military barracks and bases in the occupied Syrian Golan Heights as well as in northern occupied Palestinian lands.

The resistance group stated that the operations came in solidarity with steadfast Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, in support of honorable resistance fighters in the coastal territory, and in retaliation for Israeli strikes on residential areas in southern Lebanon.

Hezbollah on Wednesday said that one of its high-ranking commanders, identified as Muhammad Nimah Nasser, also known as “Hajj Abu Naameh”, was assassinated.

Hezbollah says ready for worst-case scenario; Israel 'unlikely' to expand war soon

Hezbollah’s Deputy Secretary-General, Naim Qassem, says an expanded war with Israel is not likely in the near future, but his group is prepared for the worst-case scenario.

Nasser reportedly had been killed in an Israeli attack against the Hosh area in Tyre in southern Lebanon.

On Thursday, the resistance group said it launched more than 200 rockets and drones targeting Israeli military positions in response to the assassination.

Israel and Hezbollah have exchanged fire on an almost daily basis since Israel launched its genocidal war on Gaza.
