<p>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.</p>
<p>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. </p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Hezbollah mourned Wednesday one of its leaders, <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/hezbollah-leader-mourns-a-commander-following-israeli-strike">martyr Mohammad Nehme Nasser</a>,
"Hajj Abu Nehme", on the path to al-Quds. Nasser was killed alongside
his assistant in an Israeli airstrike that targeted al-Haouch.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Additionally, the aerial attack targeted the Northern Area Mishar
intelligence base and the permanent main base of the 146th Ilania
Division.</p>
<p>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 <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/mohammad-nasser--a-leader-who-battled-injuries-to-command-re">Hajj Abu Nehme</a>.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The Resistance fighters of Hezbollah also bombarded the Israeli
al-Marj and al-Baghdadi sites with heavy Burkan rockets, hitting them
directly.</p>
<p>The Israeli Bayyad Blida site was also targeted with a Burkan rocket.</p>
<h2>'We have lost the North': Israeli media</h2>
<p>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."</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<h2>Fires and power outages in Golan Heights</h2>
<p>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.</p>
<p><em>Yedioth Ahronoth</em> 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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>In addition, train services from Haifa to Nahariya have been suspended due to the situation.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
