The Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah has carried out 10 operations against Israeli military positions in retaliation for the regime’s attacks on Lebanon and the Gaza Strip.

In a statement released on Saturday, Hezbollah said that it had used Falaq and Jihad missiles, as well as Katyusha rockets in its strikes on the northern areas of the occupied territories.

The resistance group said that it had targeted the gatherings of the occupation soldiers near the Metat, Beit Hillel, Mayan Baruch, Hanita, and Tel Shaar barracks.

The Kiryat Shmona, Ruwaisat al-Alam, and Metulla and Ramia sites were among other targets, Hezbollah added, noting the latter was home to Israeli espionage equipment.

It also said that its strike on the Margaliot settlement caused casualties among the Israeli forces.

Hezbollah further emphasized that the operations came in response to Israel’s recent raids on the southern Lebanese villages of Taybeh, al-Mari, and Khardali.

Hezbollah and Israel have been exchanging deadly fire since early October, shortly after the regime launched a genocidal war on Gaza following a surprise operation by the Palestinian Hamas resistance group.

Hezbollah has vowed to keep up its retaliatory attacks as long as the Tel Aviv regime continues its Gaza onslaught, which has so far killed at least 38,443 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured 88,481 others.

Israeli media say Hezbollah's retaliatory strikes have displaced around 60,000 Israeli settlers from northern parts of the occupied lands.
