Hezbollah strikes occupied territories, warns Israel against targeting civilians in Lebanon
Hezbollah resistance movement says it has struck an Israeli settlement situated near the Lebanese border with the occupied territories in response to the regime's earlier attack on civilians attending a funeral procession in southern Lebanon.
"Islamic Resistance announces the launch of a missile barrage targeting the occupied village of al-Khalsa (known as the settlement of Kiryat Shemona)...on Monday, December 18, 2023," the movement said in a statement carried by Lebanon's al-Manar television network.
The movement added that the attack came in response to an earlier Israeli strike on a funeral procession in the town of Aita Shaab in southern Lebanon, adding, "The Resistance affirms that any harm to civilians will be met with equal measures."
Earlier during the day, the movement had released other statements, reporting its latest strikes against a number of Israeli targets lying similarly close to Lebanon's border with the occupied territories.
The movement reported striking two platforms related to Israel's so-called Iron Dome missile system north of the Kabri settlement with artillery, "achieving precise hits."
Hezbollah also said it had hit a gathering of enemy forces and vehicles in the vicinity of the al-Hamra site "with appropriate weapons."
The movement's media, meanwhile, published a video showing its fighters targeting the Israeli regime's Avivim barracks and Birket Risha site.
The Israeli military has been carrying out attacks against the Lebanese territory since October 7, when it launched a war of genocide on the Gaza Strip, prompting retaliatory strikes from Hezbollah in support of the Palestinian people in the besieged territory.
The movement has vowed to keep up its retaliatory operations as long as the regime continues its onslaught against Gaza.
So far, the Israeli military aggression has claimed the lives of around 19,500 people across Gaza.
