Hezbollah announces that its fighter Ibrahim Hassan Fadel (Jihad) was martyred after succumbing to injuries sustained earlier while carrying out his Resistance duties.

In a series of operations on Saturday, the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah said it targeted various Israeli military bases and forces' positions located in northern-occupied Palestine.

Hezbollah reiterated that the operations are in support of the "steadfast Palestinian people in Gaza, their brave and honorable Resistance and in response to the Israeli aggression on the steadfast southern Lebanese villages and civilian homes."

The group also announced that one of its fighters succumbed to his wounds sustained earlier while carrying out his Resistance duty on the path to al-Quds.

The martyr was identified as Ibrahim Hassan Fadel (Jihad), born in 2003, from the town of Touline, South Lebanon.

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon began their operations with a precision strike at 08:30, hitting an Israeli troop deployment at the Hermon/ Jabal Al-Sheikh military site with a one-way drone.

Hezbollah announced that it successfully targeted espionage and surveillance equipment at the al-Raheb military site twice between 12:00 and 12:15 PM. The first strike was carried out using artillery shells, followed by a second attack conducted by a one-way drone.
