Fighters from the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement have carried out a series of new attacks, targeting Israeli military positions along the Arab nation’s border with the 1948 occupied territories.

The resistance fighters targeted the al-Samaqa site in the occupied Lebanese Kfar Shuba hills with artillery shells, hitting it directly.

Hezbollah said the operation was in retaliation for an Israeli drone strike against a two-story building in the southern Lebanese village of Houla on Saturday, which killed three of its members.

A barrage of artillery shells was also launched at Ma'ayan Baruch kibbutz, causing a fierce fire.

Moreover, Hezbollah members fired separate barrages of rockets at Israeli military barracks in Kfar Giladi, al-Metula and Doviv settlements, hitting the designated targets precisely.

The resistance group also claimed responsibility for launching rockets from Lebanon at an Israeli military position in Kfar Giladi kibbutz of the Galilee Panhandle, achieving direct hits.

Since early October last year, Hezbollah and Israel have been involved in a series of deadly clashes. The confrontations were initiated after the Tel Aviv regime launched a genocidal assault on the Gaza Strip following a surprise operation by the Palestinian Hamas resistance group.

At least 18 Israeli troopers injured in Hezbollah drone strike on occupied Golan

The Israeli military says 18 soldiers were wounded in a drone attack conducted by the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement in the occupied Golan Heights.

Hezbollah has vowed to maintain its retaliatory strikes as long as the Israeli regime continues its Gaza war, which has resulted in the deaths of at least 37,900 Palestinians, predominantly women and children, and left 87,060 others injured.

Hezbollah officials have repeatedly said they do not want a war with Israel but if it happens they are ready.

According to Lebanon’s Grand Shia Mufti Sheikh Ahmad Qabalan, Hezbollah has a massive arsenal of missiles of different types, warning that the resistance movement would fire up to half a million missiles toward the Israeli-occupied territories in case of a new war on Lebanon.

“In case of an open war between Lebanon and Israel, the latter should expect the launch of some 500,000 missiles [from southern Lebanon into the occupied lands]. The destructive power of these missiles can send the occupying regime back to 70 years ago,” Qabalan said last month.
