Hezbollah destroys installations in occupation sites, targets troops, tank
The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon – Hezbollah conducted a series of operations on Monday, responding to several Zionist aggressions on Lebanon and reaffirming the Resistance’s support to Palestinians in Gaza.
The initial operation launched on Monday saw Hezbollah fighters launch a barrage of Grad-type rockets at the al-Baghdadi military site, to the southwest of Kiryat Shmona. The rocket attack came in response to a strike on Chaqra in South Lebanon.
Later on Monday afternoon, the Resistance launched two operations in a window of five minutes, the first of which attacked a position of occupation soldiers at the al-Raheb military site. Hezbollah fighters used anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs) to conduct the operations at 3:15 pm (local time). The Resistance said that the operation also came in response to the aggression on Chaqra.
Five minutes later, Hezbollah fired unspecified weapons at the al-Malikiyah military site, targeting a spyware system that was recently installed on the site, dealing a direct hit to the intended target.
Hezbollah fighters also destroyed recently set-up hardware on the al-Karantina Hill, completely destroying it.
Notably, Hezbollah fighters also ambushed a Merkava tank on Monday, after monitoring the movements of Israeli forces at the al-Raheb military site.
The ambush was executed at 4:30 pm, in which Hezbollah fighters fired an ATGM at the Merkava tank as soon as it arrived at the ambush point. The Resistance confirmed that the ATGM directly impacted the tank.
Hezbollah fighters then launched three consecutive operations, in the context of the party’s response to attacks on the town of Chaqra. At 5:30 pm, the Resistance destroyed several pieces of spyware and fortification installed in the al-Aabad military site.
A few minutes later, the Resistance destroyed the spyware on the Hadab Yarine military site.
At 6:30, the Resistance launched an attack on a grouping of occupation forces in the vicinity of the al-Raheb military site, dealing a direct hit to the intended targets.
Iraqi Resistance renews struggle against US occupation
An Iraqi government source revealed to Al-Akhbar that Iraqi president Al-Sudani requested that Iran put pressure on the Iraqi resistance factions to avoid targeting American forces in the country.
This comes in light of an apparent return to operations, with five operations in two weeks targeting the American Ain Al-Assad base and Conoco oil field base in Iraq and Syria after a several month pause in operations. While the Iraqi resistance has not claimed these operations, they have not denied them either. The pause was taken to allow room to negotiate US withdrawal from Iraq.
The source added that a resistance faction told the government that they will not give Sudani’s government a new chance to negotiate American withdrawal from Iraq, as the deadline to sort out a definitive plan for this has long passed.
Sudani’s pressure is mainly on Kataeb Hezbollah and the Nujaba Movement, aiming not to “drag Iraq into the escalation witnessed in the region,” compounded by American pressure to protect US Interests in the country.
Two leaders in the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, who promised an increase in operations, affirmed that the factions will reject any new truce with the Americans and stated that “the decision to escalate and target American based is purely an Iraqi decision with no relation or intervention from Iran.”
They added that the resistance operates with a hit-and-run strategy when targeting enemy bases, without claiming responsibility to maintain ambiguity about the faction executing the operation.
