  • Hezbollah fighters strike Israeli military outposts in solidarity with Palestinians

As a show of staunch support for Palestinians amid the relentless Israeli onslaught against the Gaza Strip, fighters from the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement have launched two attacks targeting Israeli military positions.

Lebanon’s Arabic-language al-Manar television channel, citing a Hezbollah statement, reported that the group targeted the Israeli outpost of Zibdin in the occupied Shebaa Farms, and a gathering of Israeli soldiers in its close proximity at 01:45 p.m. local time (11:45 GMT) on Wednesday.

The statement added that the Lebanese resistance forces hit the designated targets with appropriate missiles, causing casualties among Israeli troops.

Hezbollah also struck the Ramya outpost, and destroyed technical equipment there.

Earlier on Wednesday, the Lebanese resistance group announced in a statement that two of its fighters, identified as Hussein Mohammad Shamas and Mohammad Jaafar Osseily, had been assassinated while honoring their commitment to support resilient Palestinians in the Occupied Territories  and courageous resistance fighters in the Gaza Strip.

Meanwhile, Lebanese media outlets reported that a civilian was martyred and two others were wounded in an Israeli drone strike on the southern town of Khiam.

Israeli warplanes targeted early on Wednesday the al-Wazzani water pumps in southern Lebanon, after two overnight airstrikes on the border towns of Houla and Bani Hayyan.

The Israeli regime launched its devastating hostilities in the Gaza Strip on October 7 after the territory’s Hamas-led Palestinian resistance groups carried out a surprise retaliatory attack, dubbed Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, against the occupying entity.
