A senior Hezbollah official says the retaliatory operations by his comrades against Israeli military positions in the occupied territories are in solidarity with the Palestinians in Gaza and meant to deter the regime from any aggression against Lebanon.
Hezbollah’s Deputy Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem said the strikes are in support of oppressed Gazans as a full-fledged genocide acknowledged by the international community is underway in the coastal sliver.
He noted that fighters in the Lebanese resistance movement are committed to battle for their Palestinian brethren. Palestine remains the compass of the Muslim world, he said.
Sheikh Qassem said Israeli military forces are in the cross hairs of Hezbollah fighters, and their movements are being closely monitored.
Hezbollah pummels Israeli outposts
Meanwhile, Hezbollah targeted spying devices at the Israeli Ramia military site in the northern side of the 1948 Israeli-occupied territories on Saturday, destroying the espionage hardware.
In retaliation for recurrent Israeli strikes on southern Lebanese towns and villages, particularly Taybeh village in the Marjeyoun district, Hezbollah also shelled facilities housing Israeli soldiers at Margaliot moshav. The projectiles caused casualties among the troops.
A senior official of Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement says Israel knows for sure that it cannot make any stupid and reckless move against the resistance movement as the regime will suffer a “substantial blow.”
Additionally, Hezbollah targeted a gathering of Israeli soldiers near Beit Hillel barracks with a barrage of Falaq (Dusk) missiles.
The Lebanese resistance fighters also struck a gathering of Israeli soldiers close to the Mayan Baruch outpost with a number of Falaq missiles, leaving casualties in the targeted area.
Hezbollah and Israel have been exchanging deadly fire since early October last year, shortly after the regime launched a genocidal aggression against the Gaza Strip following a surprise operation by Hamas.
The Lebanese resistance movement has vowed to keep up its retaliatory attacks as long as the Israeli regime continues its Gaza war, which has so far killed over 38,400 Palestinians, mostly women and children.
Hezbollah officials have repeatedly said they do not want a war with Israel, while stressing that they are prepared in case it occurs.
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.
