The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah announced Friday a new series
of operations carried out by its fighters against Israeli military sites
and troops.

Hezbollah reiterated that its operations come in support of the steadfast
Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and their brave and honorable
Resistance and in response to Israeli attacks on southern Lebanese towns
and villages.

The group stated that its Resistance fighters struck the Biranit barracks
(Headquarters of Division 91) with heavy Burkan rockets and achieved
accurate hits, setting it ablaze and partially destroying it. Hezbollah
said the operation was in response to the Israeli assault on the southern
Lebanese town of Maroun al-Ras.

Hezbollah fighters also targeted the al-Baghdadi site with heavy Burkan
rockets and achieved a direct hit, in response to the Israeli aggression on
the town of Aitaroun.

The Resistance also said its fighters shelled the Ramot Naftali settlement
with a rocket barrage.

It later confirmed that its fighters launched an aerial assault using drone
strikes targeting Iron Dome launchers in the al-Zaoura base, hitting their
installations and positions accurately and resulting in damage and fires.
Hezbollah said the attack was in response to the Israeli aggression on the
Houla square.

The Islamic Resistance also said it engaged a building used by Israeli
troops in the Shomera settlement (occupied Lebanese village of Tarbikha)
with the right weapons, achieving a direct hit. It said the strike was in
response to the Israeli aggression on Maroun al-Ras.

Hezbollah mentioned that its fighters engaged the Ma'ayan Baruch site with
rockets and artillery shells, hitting it directly. Later, it said its
Resistance fighters targeted the al-Ramtha site in the occupied Lebanese
Kfar Chouba Hills with rockets, achieving accurate hits.

In addition, the Resistance confirmed that its fighters targeted the
settlements of Ga'ton, Ain Yaaqoub, and Yehiam with dozens of Katyusha
rockets. Israeli media pointed out that new settlements have joined the
warning zone in the north, where sirens can be heard for the first time
since October 7. Hezbollah confirmed that the operation was in response to
the Israeli attack on the civil defense in al-Naqoura, which resulted in
the martyrdom of one crew member and the injury of others.

The General Directorate of Civil Defense - The Islamic Health Society had
announced the martyrdom of paramedic Haidar Mahmoud Jouhair (Ameer) from
the town of al-Naqoura in southern Lebanon.

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon also mourned martyr Abbas Haidar Bousi
(Abu al-Fadl) from the city of Bint Jbeil in southern Lebanon.

In the same context, Israeli media reported three injuries in northern
occupied Palestine as a result of the recent rocket barrage launched from
Lebanon.

The media highlighted that Hezbollah has expanded the line of fire,
launching nearly 100 rockets toward settlements not evacuated in the
western al-Jalil.

Additionally, the media said four Israelis with various injuries were
transported to Nahariya Hospital.
