Hezbollah targets Israeli positions in northern occupied territories

The video grab shows an undated attack by Hezbollah against Israeli military bases along Lebanon’s border with the occupied territories.

Lebanon's resistance movement Hezbollah says it has targeted the positions of the Israeli regime in the northern part of the occupied territories, amid escalating tensions between the two sides across the border.

Hezbollah announced in a statement on Tuesday that it hit several Israeli military positions as well as the Kiryat Shmona settlement in northern occupied territories.

Israeli media reports said several people were killed and 30 others injured. 

The Lebanese resistance group also said it has “directly” hit the spying equipment of Israel which was recently installed on a crane along the border by an explosive-laden drone.

Hezbollah also published video footage of its multiple strikes on Israeli military positions over the past few days, including using anti-tank guided missiles.

Footage showed the moment the Hezbollah rocket struck a soccer field in the northern Druze town of Majdal Shams.

This is one of the deadliest Hezbollah attacks against Israeli positions since the US-Israeli genocide began in October last year. 

On Sunday, Hezbollah launched a large number of rockets and drones deep into the occupied territories, as part of an “initial response” to the Israeli assassination of senior commander Fuad Shukr in the southern Beirut suburb of Dahieh.

The Lebanese resistance group said it fired more than 320 rockets along with several explosive-laden drones that targeted 11 military bases in northern Israel, also setting off sirens in the coastal city of Acre, Katzrin in the occupied Golan Heights as well as numerous settlements in the Galilee.

Hezbollah also struck multiple sites, military barracks, and Iron Dome installations belonging to the occupation forces in northern occupied territories with a heavy barrage of missiles, among which were Meron Base, Naftali Ze’ev artillery position, Zaitoun Base and Yardan Base in Golan Heights.

Following the retaliatory strikes, the Israeli regime declared a 48-hour state of emergency as a wave of panic swept across the occupied territories.

The Lebanese resistance movement and Israel have been exchanging deadly fire since early October last year, shortly after the regime launched a genocidal war against the Gaza Strip following a surprise operation by its resistance groups.

Hezbollah has vowed to keep up its retaliatory attacks as long as the Israeli regime continues its Gaza war, which has so far killed more than 40,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, in Gaza.

Hezbollah officials have repeatedly said they do not want a war with Israel while stressing that they are prepared in case it occurs.
