The Lebanese Resistance (Hezbollah) on Friday struck several buildings used by Israeli soldiers in the Kiryat Shemona settlement with missiles.

In two separate operations, Hezbollah used katyusha and Falaq rockets against the headquarters of Brigade 769, located in the said colony.

In addition, it launched a swarm of kamikaze drones towards the coastal battalion belonging to the newly created Western brigade at Leiman and reported several casualties among officers and soldiers.

Other areas harassed by the resistance were al-Mutla, al-Manara and al-Samaqah, with similar results.

The conflict between Israel and Hezbollah began the day after the Oct. 7 attacks. The fighting has left areas along Lebanon's southern border in ruins and displaced nearly 100,000. https://t.co/5HHPBxYWIq

Hizbullah’s actions were in support of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and in support of their resistance, and as a response to “Israel” killings and attacks against the peoples of southern Lebanon, especially the localities of Naqoura, Hannawiye, Kafr Kila and Aita al-Shaab.

In parallel, Israeli warplanes attacked the area between Kafr Kila and Deir Mimas, and artillery shelled the town of Mais al-Jabal.
