Hezbollah Expands Strikes on Israeli Military Positions

The Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah announced that its fighters carried out multiple attacks on Israeli military positions on Thursday evening and early Friday as fighting intensified along the Lebanese border.

According to statements issued by the movement, Hezbollah targeted the Yoav barracks in the occupied Syrian Golan Heights with a missile salvo on Thursday evening. The group also said it struck the Haifa naval base in the occupied city of Haifa with a missile barrage.

At dawn on Friday, resistance fighters launched additional attacks using rocket salvos and artillery shells against Israeli military positions and troop gatherings near the Lebanese border.

The strikes targeted Israeli forces in the settlements of Metula, Manara, Marj, Hedfa al-Ajal and the Yiftah barracks, according to the resistance.

Hezbollah also reported attacks on Israeli military gatherings advancing from Wadi al-Asafir toward the southern neighborhood of Khiam in southern Lebanon, stating that the strikes inflicted direct casualties.

Another attack targeted a newly established Israeli military site in the town of Markaba for the third time with a rocket barrage.

Additional strikes were carried out against Israeli military positions at Tell al-Hamams in Khiam, the Kfarkela gate, and the Ruwaysat al-Alam site in the occupied Lebanese hills of Kfarshouba.

Hezbollah said Israeli forces were forced to retreat after sustaining direct hits during the attacks.

Earlier at dawn, the movement also launched a missile salvo against the Al-Malikiyah site. 

The operations were described as retaliation for the ongoing Israeli aggression against Lebanese territory and civilians.

In another statement issued early Friday morning, the movement warned settlers in northern occupied Palestine to evacuate areas near the Lebanese border.

The statement, published by the resistance’s military media and accompanied by a map, said: “You are required to evacuate all settlements located within 5 kilometers of the border line.”

“Your army’s aggression against Lebanese sovereignty, targeting of innocent civilians, destruction of civilian infrastructure, and the displacement campaign it is carrying out will not go unanswered,” the statement added.

Meanwhile, Israel’s Channel 13 quoted Israeli military officials as saying that “Hezbollah has not yet used its full strength.”

Iran Launches New Missiles and Drones

The escalation coincided with a new round of Iranian military operations as part of Operation True Promise 4.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced early on Friday that it launched a combined missile and drone attack as part of the 20th wave of the operation. According to the Guard, Khaibar Shekan ballistic missiles with cluster warheads were fired toward targets in the heart of Tel Aviv.

Iranian officials also said the country’s air defenses shot down two Israeli Heron drones over the city of Isfahan.

Brigadier General Ali Mohammad Naeini, spokesman for the Revolutionary Guard, said Iranian forces were prepared for a prolonged confrontation.

“We are ready for a long war to punish the aggressor,” Naeini said. He added that additional Iranian weapons have not yet been used.

“New Iranian innovations and weapons are on their way to us and have not yet been used on a large scale,” he stated.

The Khatam al-Anbiya headquarters, which coordinates Iran’s armed forces operations, also announced that Iranian forces had targeted the US aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln with a drone 340 kilometers from Iran’s border.

According to the statement, Iranian forces also shot down an F-15E warplane and launched more than 2,000 drones and 600 missiles at American targets in the region and Israeli sites.
