  • Hezbollah launches new wave of attacks on Israeli targets, hits military base

The Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah has launched a new wave of attacks on Israeli targets as part of its efforts to force the regime to end its brutal aggression on Palestinians in Gaza.

Media reports on Tuesday said that Hezbollah had fired missiles on Israeli settlements located in the north of the occupied territories.

Informed sources said some of the missiles had evaded the Israeli anti-missile systems, hitting targets in several settlements.

Hezbollah issued a statement, saying it had used missiles to target a gathering of Israeli military forces in an area near the Adamit military base across Lebanon’s border with the Israeli-occupied territories, adding that the missiles had directly hit the targets.

The resistance group said in a separate statement that it had struck other military targets in the north of the Israeli-occupied territories as well.

The Israeli regime responded by launching airstrikes and shelling areas in southeastern Lebanon on Tuesday, according to reports.

Tuesday's attacks marked a fresh escalation in the cross-border trading of fire between Hezbollah and the illegal Zionist entity. They came a day after Israelis martyred senior Hezbollah commander Wissam Hassan al-Tawil in an airstrike targeting his vehicle in southern Lebanon. 

Hezbollah said it used a drone to hit Israel’s northern command military base in Safed, apparently a response to the assassination of Wissam Hassan and Hamas deputy chief Saleh al-Arouri.
