Zionist Invasion of Lebanon Falters, as Palestinian and Iraqi Factions Intesify Operations

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon – Hezbollah launched a series of targeted strikes against Zionist forces and positions, with a series of attacks throughout the day marking a significant escalation in the area around al-Khiam and beyond.

Islamic Resistance fighters struck a grouping of soldiers east of al-Khiam with a barrage of rockets and artillery shells. Zionist forces in Wadi al-Khiam, southeast of the town, were targeted in four separate barrages, beginning with artillery shells and followed by consecutive rocket attacks. Another round of strikes focused on Zionist forces south of al-Khiam, with artillery and rocket barrages reported in succession.

In a separate operation, Islamic Resistance fighters fired a substantial barrage of rockets at the Karmiel settlement, intensifying the range of their strikes beyond immediate military targets. Shortly thereafter, fighters launched a barrage targeting Israeli forces in the Yiftah settlement, followed by an operation by air defense units engaging a Hermes 450 drone over Lebanon’s western sector, ultimately forcing its retreat.

Additional attacks later in the day included a targeted rocket barrage on Zionist forces positioned in the Kawakh area of the Houla Plain, north of Ramat Naftali, and an assault on the Ramim barracks.

Later in the day, a large rocket barrage was directed at the Krayot cluster of settlements situated north of occupied Haifa.

Continuing their series of intensive strikes in support of Gaza and defense of Lebanon, the Islamic Resistance fighters expanded their operations against Zionist forces and strategic sites.

A series of rocket barrages began with a strike on Zionist forces stationed in the Zar’it barracks, followed by another targeting forces in the Avivim settlement. A sixth barrage in Wadi al-Khiam dealt extensive damage to the occupation forces in the area.

Hezbollah then attacked the Yarka storage facilities east of Akka with a substantial barrage of rockets, causing serious casualties.

On the eastern outskirts of al-Khiam, the occupation forces faced an assault by a specialized rocket, while subsequent barrages struck forces at the al-Maslakh district area south of al-Khiam, in the Manara settlement, and on the eastern outskirts of Maroun al-Ras.

As the night approached, a large barrage targeted Zionist forces in Metula, intensifying pressure on the occupation forces. Additionally, Islamic Resistance fighters utilized attack drones, achieving precise hits on Zionist positions within the Shomera settlement.

Coordinated attack targets three Zionist bases

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon’s Military Media Unit released on Thursday footage documenting the targeting of the Zionist Shraga and Ein Shemer military bases and the Elyakim camp in a complex operation that involved the launch of high-end missiles and one-way drones.

Hezbollah announced on Wednesday that its Resistance fighters launched a coordinated attack.

The operation involved high-end rockets and a swarm of drones targeting the Ein Shemer Base (an air defense and regional brigade base) east of Hadera, as well as Zionist positions in the Elyakim Military Camp (of the Northern Command) south of Haifa and the Shraga Base north of the occupied city of Akka.

The targets were struck accurately as the Zionist forces failed to intercept the missiles and drones that hovered over the occupied Palestinian territories for some time, the group confirmed.

Zionist media reported that Hezbollah’s drones sent hundreds of thousands of settlers into shelters, with the drones pursued for an hour and nine minutes, according to the KAN channel.

The Zionist military confirmed the detonation of two drones launched from Lebanon, while Zionist media reported that one drone detonated at the Shraga base, the primary base of the Golani Brigade, north of occupied Akka.

The operation is reminiscent of Hezbollah’s drone attack on a training camp of the Golani Brigade in Binyamina, south of occupied Haifa, which killed at least four Zionist soldiers and injured dozens of others.

Palestinian Resistance pummels Zionist forces

The Palestinian Resistance in Gaza, on the 391st day of the war, continues to confront Zionist occupation forces, inflicting further losses on them, particularly in Beit Lahia and Jabalia in the northern part of the Strip, where the occupation maintains its siege and commits massacres against civilians.

The al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) movement, announced that its fighters detonated a pre-planted Thaqeb explosive device targeting a Zionist military vehicle near the coal depot by the Eastern Cemetery east of Jabalia in northern Gaza.

On its part, the al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades confirmed that its fighters targeted occupation forces stationed in the Netzarim axis with two 107 mm rockets.

Moreover, Abu Khaled, the spokesperson for the Martyr Omar al-Qassem Forces, the military wing of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP), stated that the various military wings of the Palestinian Resistance continue to confront Zionist forces in northern Gaza with appropriate weaponry, resisting their attempts to impose control over the area and displace its residents.

He confirmed that the Martyr Omar al-Qassem Forces are inflicting heavy losses on the occupation in terms of personnel and equipment, engaging in fierce battles at point-blank range in certain combat zones.

The spokesperson pointed out that the occupation forces are compelled to retreat as their losses mount, driving them to retaliate against the Palestinian people by systematically destroying buildings and homes and continuing to demolish what remains of the infrastructure in the area.

Abu Khaled also confirmed that the artillery unit of the Martyr Omar al-Qassem Forces continues to shell occupation sites and groupings with heavy mortar rounds near the Salah al-Din Gate, along the boundary between Gaza and Egyptian territory to the south, inflicting losses on the occupation forces.

Gaza Resistance destroys Zionist vehicles in besieged Jabalia, Beit Lahia

The al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, confirmed on Wednesday that its fighters destroyed two Zionist Merkava tanks, one with a high-explosive device near the Razan intersection and another with a barrel bomb near the Sakafi intersection in the Beit Lahia project area.

Upon returning from the front lines, the al-Qassam fighters confirmed targeting a third Merkava with an al-Yassin 105 shell in the Beit Lahia project area as well.

In the same area, the al-Qassam fighters detonated a Zionist armored personnel carrier and targeted a Merkava 3 tank with two Shawaz explosive devices. Subsequently, the fighters targeted a maintenance crew advancing toward the vehicles’ locations using an anti-personnel device that left several casualties and injuries among the occupation forces.

In the Jabalia camp, the al-Qassam Brigades targeted two Zionist D9 military bulldozers with two tandem shells and a third with an al-Yassin 105 shell on Trans Street.

In parallel, the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades targeted groupings of occupation forces northeast of the Eastern Cemetery, east of Gaza City, with mortar shells.

The Abdel Qader al-Husseini Brigades also targeted occupation groupings east of Jabalia camp with 60mm mortar shells.

In coordination with various Palestinian resistance factions, the al-Quds Brigades, the Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades (the military wing of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine), and the al-Amoudi Brigade of the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades renewed their bombardment of Zionist command and control sites in the Netzarim area southwest of Gaza City with a barrage of 107 rockets and heavy-caliber mortar shells.

In addition, the al-Qassam Brigades targeted an Zionist heavy armored personnel carrier (Achzarit) with an al-Yassin 105 shell, an armored Hummer with an anti-armor shell, and a D9 military bulldozer with a ground-laid explosive device northeast of the Eastern Cemetery, east of Gaza City.

Previously, the al-Quds Brigades had bombarded the occupation’s command and control sites across the Netzarim area with a salvo of 107mm rockets and targeted Zionist gatherings south of Juhr al-Dik with multiple 60mm mortar rounds.

The al-Mujahideen Brigades, the military wing of the Mujahideen movement, announced it struck a Zionist command and control center at the Netzarim axis with multiple Hasib 111 rockets.

Iraqi Resistance launches 7 attacks on occupation

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq announced that its fighters conducted seven long-range attacks on Zionist targets, across occupied territories, on Thursday.

The operations were announced on Thursday, from dawn until midnight, and were all conducted via one-way attack drones.
