Zionist media reports say some 30,000 square meters of land has been consumed by fires a result of missile attacks by Lebanon’s Hezbollah Resistance Movementon Israeli positions in the northern occupied Palestinian territories.

According to IRNA’s Thursday morning report citing Al-Jazeera, the Hebrew-language newspaper Yediot Aharonot wrote about the blazes that caught a large swathe of land in the occupied territories after rockets launched from southern Lebanon on Wednesday.

In this regard, Haaretz, another Zionist newspaper also wrote that the fire in “the north of Israel” as a result of rockets fired from the south of Lebanon was a threat to “strategic facilities”.



On Wednesday, Hezbollah fired a barrage of rockets on Israeli positions in response to the regime’s airstrike previous night that left four resistance members, including a senior commander Sami Abdallah killed in Israeli air raids targeting a house in the town of Jwaya on Tuesday.

Israeli media reported that 215 rockets were fired by Hezbollah from Wednesday morning to afternoon, with some hitting military bases, including a spying unit of the Miron military base and Bolsan factory affiliated to the Rafael military company.

The factory provides protection and overhaul services to the machinery of the Zionist Army. On Tuesday, Hezbollah said it fired about 50 rockets at Israeli positions in the occupied Golan Heights.

The Lebanese resistance group has stepped up its missile and drone attacks targeting the military positions of this regime in the north of the occupied territories in retaliation for genocide of Palestinians and regime’s attacks on residential areas of southern Lebanon.

So far, tens of thousands of Zionists have left the settlements near the Lebanese borders for fear of resistance attacks. Recently, the regime’s media reported several massive fires caused by Hezbollah missiles in the northern occupied territories and that also left several Zionist soldiers injured.

The military media bureau of Hezbollah also published video footages of the Lebanese resistance fighters’ earlier attacks on the Israeli al-Raheb and Ramia outposts as well as the Zarit barracks.

It also published scenes of retaliatory operations against Meron Air Base and the headquarters of the Northern Command of the Israeli military in the northern part of the occupied lands.

Additionally, Hezbollah used squadrons of assault drones to successfully attack Mishar base, which serves as the headquarters of the main intelligence unit of the northern region charged with assassination missions, and the Katsavia Barracks that acts as the headquarters of the seventh Armored Brigade of the 210th Golan Division.

A Hezbollah source said around 30 drones and 150 rockets were fired at the northern part of the Israeli-occupied lands, in response to Tuesday’s killing of senior Hezbollah commander Sami Abdallah, better known by the nom the guerre Abu Taleb.

The attack is Hezbollah’s biggest since October 8, the source said. According to the source, Hezbollah struck over 10 military targets, including intelligence targets related to the assassinations of its officials.

Hezbollah, in a separate statement, said it launched Katyusha and Falaq (Dusk) rockets at six army bases in the Israeli-occupied territories, and several more swarms of explosive-laden drones at three more bases in the area.

 

The Israeli military reported that some 40 rockets crossed the border, many of which were allegedly intercepted by the so-called Iron Dome missile systems, but others impacted, causing at least 15 fires. Two Israeli settlers in their 20s were also lightly hurt by shrapnel.

Amal Saad-Ghorayeb, a Lebanese political analyst, said Hezbollah’s swift and devastating multi-pronged attack on Israel, the likes of which have not been seen since the 2006 War, appears to be more than just a response to the assassination of its senior commander, Abu Taleb.

She said in a social media post that, “The sheer scale and intensity of the attack, coupled with Hezbollah’s recent attempts to establish aerial deterrence with Israel, suggest that the movement isn’t taking Israeli decision-makers’ rationality for granted or dismissing the possibility of an all-out war initiated by Israel.”

“As such, Hezbollah’s attack today was not merely a punitive retaliation for Taleb or just a coercive strike to break the deadlock in the ceasefire talks by strengthening Hamas’s position, but also, primarily, a deterrent strike aimed at discouraging Israel from embarking on a path of mutually assured destruction.”

The occupying Israeli regime has repeatedly launched attacks on southern Lebanon since October 7, after commencing a genocidal war in Gaza that has killed at least 37,232 Palestinians, predominantly women and children so far.

As a retaliatory measure, Hezbollah has been carrying out almost daily rocket attacks on Israeli positions. At least 455 people have been killed on the Lebanese border, including more than 80 civilians, according to a tally by AFP.

Two Israeli wars waged against Lebanon in 2000 and 2006 were met with strong resistance from Hezbollah, resulting in the retreat of the regime in both conflicts.
