Fighters from the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement and their fellow Iraqi comrades have conducted separate operations against Israeli military positions in the northern part of the 1948-occupied territories, and a military base in southeastern Syria where US occupation troops and their allied militants are stationed.

Lebanon’s Arabic-language al-Mayadeen television news channel, citing a brief Hezbollah statement, reported that the group struck the headquarters of the newly formed Liman Battalion with a barrage of artillery shells on Monday evening.

The Lebanese resistance fighters also fired a salvo of rockets and artillery rounds that targeted the Ruwaisat al-Alam site in the occupied Kfarchouba Hills.

Moreover, Hezbollah pummeled an Israeli military team as it was conducting maintenance on technical and espionage devices at the Baghdadi site opposite the Lebanese town of Meiss Ej Jabal.

Hezbollah announced in the statement that the strikes were in retaliation for the Israeli genocide war against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, and in support of their resistance factions fighting off the relentless bloody onslaught.

A drone also struck an area close to Israel's Ramon military airport, authorities say. The Israeli military  has not yet commented on the incident.

Meanwhile, a military base, which houses US occupation troops and allied militants in Syria’s Homs province near the border with Jordan and Iraq, has come under attack by an armed unmanned aerial vehicle.

Turkey’s official Anadolu news agency, quoting local sources speaking on condition of anonymity, said the al-Tanf base was targeted by a drone.

There were no immediate reports about possible casualties or the extent of damage caused.

In a related incident, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an umbrella group of anti-terror fighters, in a statement claimed responsibility for the early Tuesday drone strike against the Israeli Air Force (IAF)'s Tel Nof Airbase, located 5 kilometers south of Rehovot.

The coalition stated that the attack comes in line with resistance against the occupying Israeli regime, in support of Palestinians in Gaza, and in response to Israeli atrocities against Palestinian children, women and elderly.

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq has been staging many such attacks on Israeli targets since the occupying regime launched a genocidal war on Gaza in early October.

Israel unleashed its war on Gaza on October 7 after the Palestinian Hamas resistance group carried out Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against the usurping entity in retaliation for its intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.

The Tel Aviv regime has also imposed a “complete siege” on the territory, cutting off fuel, electricity, food and water to the more than two million Palestinians living there.

Since the start of the offensive, the Tel Aviv regime has killed 32,782 Palestinians and injured nearly 75,298 others.

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq has also struck major American military bases in Syria and Iraq amid anger over the US support for Israel’s onslaught on Gaza.
