The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon, Hezbollah, announced a series of coordinated operations targeting Israeli occupation army positions, military gatherings, and advancing forces in northern occupied Palestine and southern Lebanon, as confrontations continued along the border axis.

The operations, carried out between Tuesday and Thursday, included guided missile strikes, rocket barrages, and swarms of attack drones targeting military sites from the south of Lebanon to the depths of northern occupied territories.

On Wednesday morning, more than 20 rockets were launched by Hezbollah fighters within three minutes toward settlements in northern occupied Palestine, according to the Israeli Army Radio.

Sirens sounded in several settlements and locations, including Kiryat Shmona and its surrounding area, Dovev in the Western al-Jalil, and Misgav Am in the al-Jalil Panhandle. Israeli reports indicated that the latest barrage also targeted Akka and Nahariya. Israeli media also reported the launch of approximately 10 additional rockets toward the Western al-Jalil.

The Resistance also announced that it fired a salvo of rockets at Israeli troop positions in the northern outskirts of Bint Jbeil on Tuesday, at 7:00 pm.
