53 Israeli forces injured amid resistance groups’ retaliation in 24 hrs
The Israeli regime’s military has admitted that as many as 53 Israeli forces have been injured amid continuous retaliatory operations by various resistance groups against the regime’s regional aggression.
The military announced the figure on Saturday, saying the casualties had been caused within the space of just 24 hours.
As many as 15 of the wounded were in critical condition, it added.
A total of 17 illegal settlers were also injured as a result of retaliatory strikes carried out by Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement against the vicinity of the city of Akka, the town of Shlomi, and the city of Haifa, which are located in the northern part of the occupied Palestinian territories.
Also on Saturday, the group hit gatherings of Israeli forces in the Malikiyah, al-Basah, Zarit, Rosh Pinna, Abirim, and Kiryat Ata settlements as well as the vicinity of the Avivim settlement with rocket barrages.
Targeting Zarit on another occasion, the group struck a Merkava tank with a guided missile, leading to its destruction and affliction of casualties among its occupants.
It also targeted the city of Safad, a military base in the Nasher area, and the regime’s Beit Hillel barracks, using various ammunition.
Hezbollah, meanwhile, confronted the Israeli military’s attempts to advance on several sites located in southern Lebanon.
The operations were carried out ”in support of the steadfast Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and in support of their valiant and honorable resistance, and in defense of Lebanon and its people,” it announced.
Hezbollah has launched hundreds of retaliatory strikes against the occupied territories and the Israeli forces trying to invade Lebanon since last October, when the regime began bringing Gaza under a genocidal war that has so far killed at least 42,519 Palestinians, and intensified its deadly attacks against Lebanon, where Israeli aggression has claimed thousands of other lives.
“The Islamic Resistance will remain present and ready to defend our country and our proud oppressed people and will not hesitate to do its duty to deter the enemy from its arrogance and injustice,” Hezbollah added.
Separately on Saturday, Iraq resistance groups struck a vital target in Syria’s Israeli-occupied Golan Heights and another such target in the port of Eilat in the southern part of the occupied territories, using drones.
