to report «iusnews»; The Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement Hezbollah fired 48 Katyusha rockets at an Israeli military base in solidarity with Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, who are subjected to a bloody bombing campaign by the occupying regime.
In a statement on Thursday, Hezbollah said that its fighters targeted before noon the Ein Zaytim base near the city of Safad in the occupied territories, where the Israeli army’s Third Infantry Brigade of Division 91 is headquartered, presstv reported.
It added that the operation was conducted “in support of our steadfast Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and … their brave and honorable resistance”.
The raid came one day after an Israeli airstrike on the village of Beit Yahoun in South Lebanon killed five Hezbollah fighters, including the son Mohammed Raad, the head of the group’s parliamentary bloc.
Earlier, Hezbollah Secretary General Seyed Hassan Nasrallah said that Washington had warned the resistance group through third parties against intervening in the Israeli war on Gaza.
He, however, emphasized that Hezbollah disregarded the warnings and will continue to carry out its duty in support of Palestine and Gaza.
The Israeli regime has been waging sporadic attacks on Southern Lebanon since October 7, when it launched a devastating war against the besieged Gaza Strip. The Israeli attacks have sparked a firefight between the regime and Hezbollah fighters.
Since the start of the aggression, the Tel Aviv regime has killed 14,532 Palestinians, including 6,000 children and 3,920 women, and injured at least 35,000 others. Over 7,000 people are also missing and believed buried under the rubble.
It has also imposed a “complete siege” on the coastal sliver, cutting off fuel, electricity, food and water to the more than two million Palestinians living there.
On Wednesday, Hamas announced a truce, under which Israel agreed to halt all military actions in Gaza for four days and allow hundreds of trucks carrying humanitarian aid into the territory.
