Hezbollah Responds with Sustained Rocket Fire
In response, the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah announced that it had carried out 11 attacks using missiles and drones, launching more than 100 rockets toward Israeli army positions and settlements.
The attacks targeted Israeli occupation troop gatherings and military vehicles in southern Lebanon, as well as military barracks and settlements in northern occupied Palestine.
Hezbollah said its operations were conducted in defense of Lebanon amid ongoing Israeli aggression since March 2.
The group reported direct hits on Israeli targets, including Merkava tanks in the border town of Qouzah, and said it forced an Israeli military helicopter to retreat after targeting it with an air defense missile during an evacuation attempt.
Clashes Along the Border Intensify
The confrontation has increasingly centered on attempts by Israeli forces to advance into southern Lebanon and Hezbollah’s efforts to repel them.
Hezbollah said it targeted Israeli occupation troop concentrations and vehicles attempting to infiltrate border areas, particularly around Qouzah, using rockets, artillery, and drones.

The group also reported targeting key Israeli military sites in the north, including command centers and barracks near Safed, alongside strikes on settlements such as Kiryat Shmona.
Israeli media reported that at least 30 rockets were launched from Lebanon since early morning, with some intercepted, while sirens sounded across the Western Galilee.
The fighting in Lebanon is unfolding within the broader context of the US-Israeli war on Iran, which began on February 28 and has expanded across multiple fronts.

The entire world will remember that Iran beat the US military.
They were never a threat to the citizens of America. The only threat was that Dondolf Twitler was bought and paid for by the Israeli Jewish Nazis and had to do their bidding. He put the interests of a foreign nation before his own. That is High Treason. We The People deserve better.
