The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah confirmed Thursday that its
fighters targeted several Israeli military sites with over 200 rockets and
a swarm of drones.

Hezbollah announced a series of operations that its Resistance fighters
carried out in support of Gaza and the Israeli attacks on Lebanese towns
and villages.

It is noteworthy that the Islamic Resistance's operations today targeted
new Israeli military sites in the occupied Syrian Golan Heights, Upper
al-Jalil area, deep inside al-Jalil, Safad, and Nahariya.

The Lebanese group said its fighters bombarded a newly established Israeli
position in the settlement of Kfar Blum with Katyusha rockets in response
to the Israeli aggression on the town of Shebaa, which resulted in the
injury of a civilian woman.

Later, Hezbollah confirmed that it bombarded, with over 200 rockets of
various types, the newly-established headquarters of the 91st Division in
the Ayelet Barracks, as well as each of the headquarters of the 7th Armored
Brigade in Katsavia Barracks, the Armored Battalion of the 7th Brigade in
the Gamla Barracks, the 210th Division (Golan Division) in Nafah Base, and
the Artillery Regiment of Yarden Barracks' 210th Division.

The Resistance pointed out that this operation comes as part of the
response to the attack and assassination carried out by the Israeli
occupation force in the al-Haouch area, southwest of the Lebanese city of
Tyre.

Hezbollah mourned Wednesday one of its leaders, martyr Mohammad Nehme Nasser

"Hajj Abu Nehme", on the path to al-Quds. Nasser was killed alongside his
assistant in an Israeli airstrike that targeted al-Haouch.

Also in response to Hajj Abu Nehme's assassination, Hezbollah announced on
Thursday that its fighters launched an aerial attack with a swarm of
one-way drones on the newly-established headquarters of the 91st Division
in the Ayelet Barracks, as well as each of the headquarters of the 7th
Armored Brigade in Katsavia Barracks, the Northern Area Command in Dadu
base, the 810th Hermon Brigade in Maale Golani Barracks, and the Golani
Brigade and the Egoz Unit in the Shraga Barracks.

Additionally, the aerial attack targeted the Northern Area Mishar
intelligence base and the permanent main base of the 146th Ilania Division.

Hezbollah's fighters already launched Wednesday four operations against
Israeli military sites and soldiers along the border with occupied
Palestine in response to the assassination of Hajj Abu Nehme

.

In the same context, the Lebanese Resistance group said its fighters
bombarded the Roueissat al-Alam site in the occupied Lebanese Kfar Chouba
Hills with a heavy Burkan rocket, which hit the Israeli site directly and
caused fires, confirming the destruction of parts of the site and
inflicting confirmed casualties.

The Resistance fighters of Hezbollah also bombarded the Israeli al-Marj and
al-Baghdadi sites with heavy Burkan rockets, hitting them directly‏.

The Israeli Bayyad Blida site was also targeted with a Burkan rocket.
'We have lost the North': Israeli media

Israeli media reported Thursday a difficult incident in the occupied Syrian
Golan Heights, where an Israeli soldier was killed and several others were
injured in a wide-ranging double attack by Hezbollah targeting the Golan
and al-Jalil, commenting, "We have lost the North."

The media mentioned that the Israeli occupation military evacuated several
wounded soldiers from the Golan to Rambam Hospital in Haifa and Ziv Medical
Center in Safad via military helicopters.

Israeli media cited a security source as saying that Hezbollah carried out
extensive attacks with more than 100 rockets and launched at least 10
drones from Lebanon toward "Israel", causing the sirens to sound
continuously for an entire hour.
Fires and power outages in Golan Heights

The source mentioned that Hezbollah's extensive strikes led to the closure
of several roads, the outbreak of fires in open areas, and power outages in
the Golan Heights.

*Yedioth Ahronoth* said that 25 firefighting teams are struggling to
extinguish 10 fires that broke out in the Golan Heights and Upper al-Jalil
following Hezbollah's attacks.

According to Israeli media, sirens also sounded in several settlements in
northern occupied Palestine, such as Kiryat Shmona, Tel Hai, Beit Hillel,
and Sde Nehemia fearing drone infiltration from Lebanon, prompting tens of
thousands of settlers to rush into shelters and fortified places.

In addition, train services from Haifa to Nahariya have been suspended due
to the situation.

Meanwhile, Israeli Army radio announced direct hits on two buildings north
of Akka. Israeli media also reported that one person was seriously injured
due to a rocket hitting a shopping complex in Akka.

The media reported that Hezbollah has widened its range of fire, causing
sirens to sound not only in settlements in northern occupied Palestine but
also in the Amakim area near the city of al-Nasirah in the al-Jalil region.
