Fighters from the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement have conducted multiple operations against Israeli military sites, firing dozens of rockets from southern Lebanon toward border areas on the northern side of the 1948 occupied territories.
Lebanon’s al-Mayadeen television news channel reported that dozens of Katyusha rockets were launched from Lebanon at Meron Air Base on Saturday in retaliation for Israeli military strikes on Qaouzah and Markaba villages as well as the town of Sarbin in southern Lebanon.
Meanwhile, Israeli media outlets said a major radar site inside a military base had sustained damage as a result of Hezbollah attacks.
A heavy salvo of missiles was also launched towards settlements in Mount Meron area of the Upper Galilee region, including Safsofa, Hagnoz, Kfar Hosh, and Bar Yoha.

Earlier on Saturday, Hezbollah Deputy Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem said Hezbollah’s support for the Gaza Strip had held back Israeli military plots against Palestinian territories and southern Lebanon.
“Those who fail to ponder on the future are the ones who are ignorant of the Zionist enemy, and are unable to acknowledge the facts that their support will yield benefits beyond solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza and dense of Lebanon’s security. Their support will result in the creation of a full-fledged deterrent force against Israel which will prevent it from crossing red lines,” Sheikh Qassem underlined.
He said proposals put forward to bring calm to the volatile border between Lebanon and the Israeli-occupied lands will be effective if they ensure a complete ceasefire and an end to near-daily cross-border fire.
“Anyone who comes up with an initiative for a ceasefire in southern Lebanon to relieve Israel’s anxieties gives the regime a chance for ramping up its aggression against Gaza,” Sheikh Qassem said.
The Israeli regime has repeatedly attacked southern Lebanon since October 7, when it launched a genocidal war on Gaza that has killed at least 34,388 Palestinians, most of them women and children.
In retaliation, Hezbollah has launched near-daily rocket attacks on Israeli positions.
At least 380 people have been killed on the Lebanese border, including 72 civilians.
The fighting has forced the evacuation of tens of thousands from the northern part of the occupied territories, amid rocket fire and shelling carried out by Hezbollah and allied Palestinian groups.
Hezbollah has already fought off two Israeli wars against Lebanon in 2000 and 2006. The resistance forced the regime to retreat in both conflicts.

Some 62,000 Israeli settlers have fled areas in the northern sector of the 1948 Israeli-occupied lands amid fear of strikes by Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement in retaliation for the bloody onslaught on Gaza, latest reports have revealed.
Lebanon’s al-Mayadeen television news channel, citing Israeli media outlets, reported on Sunday evening that the number of settlers that have evacuated the area as a result of Hezbollah’s operations now stands at a staggering 62,000.
The report noted that 30,000 of the settlers have evacuated northern occupied Palestine on their own as fears are mounting among the residents that Hezbollah fighters continue to carry out daily operations with no signs that they are deterred by any action the Israeli army is taking.
Israeli media outlets further noted that 40% of the evacuees are considering no return to the region.
Moreover, 38% of those who voluntarily left the area, no longer intend to return to their previous places of residence in the northern occupied territories.
This comes as Hezbollah targeted a facility housing Israeli soldiers in the Shomera settlement earlier on Sunday with a barrage of rockets.
The Lebanese resistance group also struck surveillance devices newly installed around the Dovev military barracks, completely destroying the hardware.

The regime’s Walla news website said the Hezbollah attack was “a carefully planned ambush.”
Hezbollah said in a statement that it attacked the deployment positions of Israeli soldiers south of the Jal al-Alam site, using heavy-caliber Burkan (Volcano) missiles.
In another statement, the resistance group announced that its fighters struck surveillance equipment at the Misgav Am military site, which Israeli forces had lately re-positioned.
Surveillance equipment at the al-Malkiya base was also targeted and destroyed, it said, adding that the operation was carried out with a salvo of rockets.
The Israeli regime has repeatedly attacked southern Lebanon since October 7, when it launched a genocidal war on Gaza that has killed at least 34,097 Palestinians, most of them women and children.
In retaliation, Hezbollah has launched near-daily rocket attacks on Israeli positions.
At least 349 people have been killed on the Lebanese border, including 68 civilians.
Hezbollah has already fought off two Israeli wars against Lebanon in 2000 and 2006. The resistance forced the regime to retreat in both conflicts.
