The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/hezbollah-intercept-israeli-hermes-450--pound-northern-milit>
carried out a series of critical operations targeting multiple Israeli
positions and military assets, inflicting significant losses and damage on
Israeli forces, sites, and equipment. the Islamic Resistance's fighters
continue operating across several fronts, launching rocket barrages deep
into occupied territories and engaging invading Israeli forces on the
border from point-blank.
On Friday, within its Khaybar series of operations, and under the call of
"Labbayk ya Nasrallah" [here we respond to your call, O Nasrallah], the
Islamic Resistance announced the targeting of the Karmiel military base,
located south of Haifa with a barrage of high-end rockets.
The Resistance fighters also deployed a swarm of one-way assault drones
toward the al-Baghdadi military site, confirming direct hits.
The Lebanese Resistance also carried out several oeprations targeting
Israeli soldier groupings across several positions and sites. On the
Lebanese southern border, Hezbollah bombarded Israeli occupation soldiers
in the Manara, Malikiyah, and Habushit military sites with rocket barrages.
A grouping of Israeli soldiers on the outskirts of the town of Marwahin was
also bombarded with two guided missiles, resulting in confirmed casualties.
In the same area, an Israeli Merkava tank was directly hit with a guided
missile, setting it ablaze and confirming fatalities and injuries among its
crew.
In Safad, a subsequent salvo was launched and air defense units of the
Islamic Resistance intercepted a Hermes 450 drone over Nabatiyeh, forcing
it to retreat from Lebanese airspace. Shortly thereafter, a guided missile
destroyed a Merkava tank near the Misgav Am site, leaving its crew either
dead or injured. This was followed by the targeting of another Merkava tank
along the Marjayoun-Odaisseh road, also resulting in its destruction and
casualties among its crew. An accompanying Israeli force was forced to
withdraw to the Abbad site under sustained Resistance fire.
A squadron of drones launched targeted the Filon base, a critical Israeli
facility hosting emergency stores and the 36th and 210th brigades. The
drones hit their targets with precision, inflicting serious damage.
Meanwhile, two Merkava tanks on the outskirts of Odaisseh were struck with
guided missiles, causing the tanks to catch fire and resulting in deaths
and injuries among Israeli personnel.
Israeli forces advancing towards Houla with a Merkava tank were ambushed by
the Resistance, which employed guided missiles, machine guns, and
rocket-propelled grenades. The ambush resulted in the destruction of the
tank and further casualties among the advancing Israeli forces.
Concurrently, a separate barrage of rockets struck another grouping of
Israeli forces on the outskirts of Houla.
The Resistance continued its operations by targeting a Zionist force of 12
soldiers on the outskirts of Odaisseh with a guided missile, causing
confirmed injuries. Shortly afterward, a Hummer vehicle carrying four
soldiers arrived to support the wounded troops but was immediately targeted
by another guided missile, causing additional fatalities and injuries.
Further strikes ensued, with the Resistance targeting an Israeli artillery
position in Nafah Ze'ev with a salvo, followed by artillery shells landing
at the Manara site and another salvo directed at Safad. Near Kfar Kila's
Wazzani area, an Israeli force of four soldiers stationed by a vehicle was
struck, resulting in casualties. A second nearby Israeli force of three
soldiers was subsequently hit, also resulting in casualties.
The Hezbollah fighters also targeted another grouping of Israeli forces on
the outskirts of Houla with a salvo, which was followed by successive
operations that targeted numerous Israeli settlements in the north,
including Metula, Hatsor, Beit Hillel, Manara, and Katzrin.
The operations came in defense of the people of Lebanon and their land, in
support of Gaza and its resilient Resistance, and in response to the
Israeli aggression targeting homes, villages, and civilians across Lebanon.

Sirens deafen the north
Israeli media reported earlier today the launch of five rockets from
Lebanon toward the occupied city of Haifa, with one rocket crashing in
Kiryat Yam, north of Haifa. Sirens also sounded north of Tabarayya Lake
amid fears of a drone infiltration.
Sirens also sounded in the southern occupied Golan, as well as in Caesarea,
Binyamina, and their surroundings south of Haifa, in addition to the
industrial area between Akka and Krayot.
In western al-Jalil, alarm sirens sounded, with Israeli media reporting
incidents in Dishon, al-Malikiyah, Aalma, Zar'it, and Shomera, as well as
settlements like Kfar Nahum, Hof Amnon, and Tabha in upper al-Jalil.
Israeli media confirmed that since morning, "the bombardment has not stopped
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/hezbollah-unveils-nasr-2-rocket--footage-of-atgm-golani-troo>,
with casualties and attempts to rescue those injured under Hezbollah's
fire." They referred to what they described as a "preliminary and difficult
report," stating that "Hezbollah shelled Misgav Am, where a group of
soldiers was positioned."
Shomera joins the list: Another tough incident
The Israeli occupation announced a state of emergency at the Nahariya
Hospital due to a difficult security incident in Shomera.
Israeli media confirmed a direct injury in the settlement after rockets
launched by Hezbollah landed in the area, resulting in the wounding of
Israeli soldiers. Details indicated that the rockets hit a soldier grouping
taking shelter in what they considered a "fortified bunker".
Israeli army helicopters transported several injured individuals, four of
whom were in critical condition.
After the Israeli military acknowledged the deaths of five additional
soldiers and injuries

to others in ground battles along the southern Lebanese border, Israeli
media reported that "Hezbollah is using precision munitions to target the
locations of Israeli forces in South Lebanon."
