Fighters from the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement have carried out a series of new attacks, targeting Israeli military positions along Lebanon's border with the northern part of the 1948-occupied territories in solidarity with Palestinians amid the ongoing Israeli onslaught on Gaza.

Lebanon’s Arabic-language al-Mayadeen television news network, citing a Hezbollah statement, reported that the group struck Israeli soldiers and military vehicles at the al-Malikiyah site early Friday with a salvo of artillery shells and missiles.

The statement added that the projectiles hit the designated targets precisely, and caused casualties among the Israeli soldiers.

Moreover, Hezbollah forces targeted an Israeli military vehicle at the entrance to Metula town, destroying it and inflicting casualties upon the occupants.

The statement noted that the operations came in support of steadfast Palestinians in Gaza and resistance factions fighting off Israeli offensives.

Late on Thursday, the Lebanese resistance fighters pummeled Israeli soldiers stationed at Ruwaisat al-Alam and Ruwaisat al-Qarn sites with rockets and artillery shells.

Earlier in the day, Hezbollah had targeted a command center in Liman as Israeli warplanes struck the southern Lebanese border towns of Yaroun and Ainata.

Hezbollah later attacked groups of soldiers near the Jal al-Alam outpost.

The Israeli regime has repeatedly attacked southern Lebanon since October 7, when it launched a genocidal war on Gaza that has killed at least 33,037 Palestinians, most of them women and children, so far. Another 75,668 individuals have also been injured in the onslaught.

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.

Israel says at least ten soldiers and eight settlers have been killed in the area.

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.
