The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon, Hezbollah, announced on Sunday evening
that it had successfully downed an Israeli drone over the al-Aishiya area
in southern Lebanon at 10:50 pm.

It also targeted two buildings utilized by occupation soldiers in the
settlement of "Metulla," achieving a direct hit with suitable weaponry, in
retaliation to the recent Israeli attacks on southern villages and
civilians, notably the town of Kfar Kila.

The Resistance confirmed that these two operations came in support of the
steadfast Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and their resistance.

In parallel, Israeli attacks on southern Lebanese villages continued, as
hostile artillery shelling targeted the outskirts of the town of al-Khiam.

Earlier today, the resistance group conducted its first operation at 7:30 am

targeting a building used by Israeli soldiers in the "Shomera" settlement
(the occupied Lebanese town of Tarbikha) with appropriate weapons.

Hezbollah also targeted at 9:30 am a newly installed surveillance equipment
around the "Dovev" barracks with appropriate weapons, confirming that the
hardware was directly hit and destroyed.

At 10:20 am, Hezbollah said it attacked the deployment positions of Israeli
soldiers south of the Jal al-Alam site using heavy Burkan rockets

.

In another statement, the Resistance said that, after Israeli forces
replaced previously targeted surveillance equipment at the "Misgav Am"
military site, its fighters struck the newly installed hardware using
appropriate weapons and destroyed them once again. Surveillance equipment
at the al-Malkiya base was targeted and directly hit at 5:15 pm, Hezbollah
stated, noting that the operation was carried out using appropriate weapons.

Revealing the last operation of the day, Hezbollah said in a statement: "In
response to the Zionist attacks on southern [Lebanese] villages and
civilians, including the most recent targeting the town of Kafr Kila,
fighters of the Islamic Resistance targeted at 11:05 pm two buildings used
by enemy soldiers in the Metula settlement with appropriate weapons,
hitting them directly.|
