By Al Mayadeen English

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon, Hezbollah, sets a record number of 87 operations against the Israeli enemy, destroying 10 Merkavas and pounding military assets across the occupied north.

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah conducted a series of operations targeting Israeli occupation forces and positions on Wednesday. The Resistance is also confronting invading Israeli occupation forces near the border, scoring successive hits on their armored forces.
