Lebanon’s Hezbollah and Iraqi fighters have launched fresh attacks on Israeli targets in the occupied territories in retaliation for the regime’s aggression on the Gaza Strip and Lebanon.

On Friday, Hezbollah said it fired a barrage of missiles at the “Stella Maris” naval base northwest of the city of Haifa. It was the second such attack in less than 24 hours.

The movement said the strike came "in response to the attacks and massacres committed by the Israeli enemy."

Also on Friday, Hezbollah said it targeted Ramat David airbase southeast of Haifa with a barrage of missiles.

Another barrage of missiles targeted Kiryat Shmona settlement in the northern part of the occupied territories this morning, according to Hezbollah.

Three, including paramedic, killed in Israeli strikes on Lebanon

Hezbollah’s retaliatory strikes came as Israel continues to conduct attacks on various areas of Lebanon, including Harbata Village in the Baalbek-Hermel Governorate, and Shebaa, Kfar Melki, Kfar Hatta, Kfar Dajjal, Shehabiye, and Kfar Tebnit in southern Lebanon.

The Israeli attacks killed two people in Kfar Tebnit and a paramedic on Deir Qanoun road in southern Lebanon on Friday.

Iraqi fighters conduct three attacks

Meanwhile, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an umbrella group of anti-terror fighters, announced that it conducted a third drone attack in the northern part of the occupied territories on Friday.

The attack hit a military target, according to the group.

Earlier on Friday, the group announced that it conducted two separate drone attacks on two Israeli military targets.

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq noted that the attacks came “in solidarity with our people in Palestine and Lebanon.”

Since early October 2023, Israel has been waging brutal two-front aggression that has killed more than 43,469 people in the Gaza Strip and at least 3,103 others in Lebanon so far.

In support of Palestinians in Gaza, resistance groups have launched retaliatory attacks on Israeli targets and vowed to keep fighting until the Gaza onslaught ends.

Since late September, Israel has escalated its strikes against Lebanon’s Hezbollah, assassinating its leader Hassan Nasrallah and a number of its senior figures.

Hezbollah has been responding to the aggression with numerous retaliatory operations, targeting the occupied Palestinian territories.

Israeli soldier dies of wounds

The Israeli military on Friday announced that one of its soldiers succumbed to injuries he sustained in Southern Lebanon two weeks ago.

The military said that the soldier, identified as Guy Shabtay of the Alon Brigade’s 8207th Battalion, was wounded in an exchange of fire with Hezbollah fighters in a village in Southern Lebanon on October 26. According to the statement, five other soldiers were killed and over a dozen were injured in the incident.
