Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement launched eight more attacks against Israeli military positions on Friday, hitting bases as well as troops, in continuation of its support for Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
Hezbollah said it launched an attack on Israeli artillery bunkers in Khirbet Ma’ar, another on the Al-Marj site, and one more on the Ruweisat Al-Qarn site. It also attacked the Hadab Yaroun site two times.
The movement also hit gatherings of occupation soldiers at Ramya site and another location between Zar’it barracks and Birket Risha site.
Resistance fighters also hit a crane carrying surveillance equipment and spy gear in Doviv farms.
According to the movement, the operations were carried out “in support of the steadfast Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and solidarity with their courageous and honorable resistance.”
Earlier, Israeli media reported 27 launches from Lebanese territories toward the Galilee region on Friday, in addition to four warnings about drone intrusion, which led to no interceptions.
The Israeli military said it had struck “Hezbollah infrastructure in southern Lebanon” after reporting rocket fire from there.
The regime says it uses aircraft, tanks, and artillery to strike Hezbollah sites in Lebanon.
‘Hezbollah ready for more whenever necessary’
The fresh round of exchange of fire comes as Israeli officials have stepped up threats against Hezbollah.
Benny Gantz, a member of the regime’s war cabinet, said on Wednesday that Israel will restrain Hezbollah if the international community and the Lebanese government don’t do that.
On Thursday, Hezbollah’s Deputy Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem warned the regime they’re ready to escalate militarily if Israel does.
“We are making the sacrifices that the battle requires, and they are great, but we are also repelling a great danger,” Qassem said.
He added, “We are ready for more whenever necessary. We are not intimidated by threats or warnings. We in the field are clear that we are part of this battle.”
“If Israel goes too far, we will retaliate twice. We will not fear either Israeli or American threats or intimidation, because the future of the region now depends on this hope and this sacrifice.”
Also, Hezbollah’s Deputy Chief of the Executive Council Sheikh Ali Daamoush said on Friday the resistance will continue operations regardless of the pressures, threats, or sacrifices, as long as the enemy does not retreat from its aggression against Gaza.
Since October 8, the day after the Israel onslaught against Gaza started, the frontier between Lebanon and the Israeli-occupied territories has seen deadly exchanges of fire, mainly between the Israeli army and the Hezbollah movement.
Reports say Israel has repeatedly used US-supplied internationally-banned white phosphorus munitions in its attacks on Lebanon.
The fighting has forced the evacuation of tens of thousands from the northern part of the Israeli-occupied territories, which have been pummeled by rocket fire and shelling carried out by Hezbollah and allied Palestinian groups.
Hezbollah has urged residents in southern Lebanon to take their CCTV camera systems offline to prevent Israel from hacking into those devices installed outside homes and shops in southern Lebanon.
Hezbollah has already fought off two Israeli wars against Lebanon in 2000 and 2006, forcing the regime’s forces to retreat in both cases.
