Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement has launched successful retaliatory strikes against the city of Tel Aviv and the Haifa District in the northern part of the occupied Palestinian territories.
On Wednesday, the group announced bombing the “TAA Military Industries Company” in the suburbs of Tel Aviv with missiles that “hit their targets accurately.”
It also launched an aerial attack with a squadron of attack drones on an Israeli military base in the city of Tira Carmel, 10.3 kilometers (6.4 miles) near the city of Haifa in the Haifa District, achieving a similar accurate hit.
Hezbollah rocket salvos, meanwhile, struck gatherings of Israeli forces in the illegal settlements of Misgav Am and Nahariyya.
Hezbollah has waged hundreds of retaliatory strikes against sensitive targets lying across the occupied territories and staged dozens of defensive operations against Israeli forces attempting to advance on southern Lebanese areas since last October when the regime escalated its deadly attacks against Lebanon.
Hezbollah targets Israeli military positions in northern parts of occupied territories
Fighters from Hezbollah have carried out a series of operations, aiming at various Israeli military positions in the occupied territories.
Also on Wednesday, the movement confronted and clashed with an Israeli infantry force, which was trying to infiltrate the Lebanese territory from the eastern outskirts of the town of Aitaroun, targeting it with machineguns and rockets, forcing it to retreat behind the border, and causing “confirmed casualties.”
Hezbollah’s Air Defense Units confronted an Israeli warplane with a surface-to-air missile, forcing it to leave the Lebanese airspace.
So far during the October 2023-present defensive operations, the movement has killed more than 70 Israeli troops, destroyed 28 of the Israeli military’s Merkava tanks and four of its military bulldozers, and shot down three advanced Israeli Hermes 450 drones.
Amid the retaliation, the regime carried out as many as 17 airstrikes against the suburbs of the Lebanese capital Beirut, leveling six buildings.

The Israeli regime carries out an airstrike against the office of Lebanon’s al-Mayadeen television network in the country’s capital Beirut.
The regime’s intensified aggression against Lebanon has seen it either attacking targets across the country without prior notice or issuing such notices minutes before launching its strikes.
At least 2,546 people, including 140 children and 270 women, have been killed and 11,862 others wounded in Lebanon as a result of the aggression so far.
