Lebanon’s Hezbollah launches drone, missile attacks against Israel
The Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah has launched a wave of drone and missile attacks on the Israeli regime hours after two of its fighters were killed in Israeli attacks targeting border areas in southern Lebanon.
Hezbollah said in a statement late on Saturday that its explosive drones and guided missiles had hit military targets in the Al Manara settlement as well as a gathering of Israeli forces concentrated in the 51st Battalion of the regime’s Golani Brigade.
The anti-Israeli operation was large in size compared to similar attacks launched by Hezbollah in recent weeks.
It came as an apparent response to Israel’s attacks earlier on Saturday on areas in southern Lebanon that killed three people, including two Hezbollah fighters.
Hezbollah had issued separate statements saying the fighters, who it said were martyred on the path to liberate the Israeli-occupied al-Quds, had been from the villages of Kafr Kila and Khiam, located in areas near Lebanon’s border with the occupied Palestinian territories.
Hezbollah has been firing weapons at Israeli positions since early October when the regime launched a large-scale invasion of the Palestinian territory of Gaza.
Nearly 34,500 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli aggression on Gaza, most of them women and children.
Hezbollah has repeatedly said it will continue attacks on Israel until the regime stops its attacks on Gaza.
The attacks are part of a larger pattern of regional resistance against the Israeli regime with groups in Arab countries hitting targets controlled by Israel or its ally the United States to force an end to war in Palestine.
