The Israeli regime has markedly escalated its deadly aggression targeting Lebanon concomitantly with its resuming unprovoked aggression against the Islamic Republic jointly with the United States.
In early March, Lebanon's Hezbollah resistance movement announced ending its period of strategic patience in the face of the escalation that the regime has been waging in violation of a 2024 ceasefire deal with the group.
Hezbollah has staged hundreds of anti-Israeli operations throughout the retaliation.
Also on Friday, the movement reported carrying out 103 retaliatory operations inside Lebanon and the occupied territories against Israeli targets within the previous 24 hours.

According to statements released by Hezbollah, resistance fighters detonated bombs planted on the Deir Siryan path and the way connecting Tayyebah to Qantarah, targeting Israeli armored vehicles and causing casualties among the occupation forces.
They also fired missiles towards Galilee, triggering sirens in the Meskaf Aam settlement, and launched missile strikes on Israeli military bases of Eliyakim and Tifen east of Akka, as well as Zeiyo in the occupied port of Haifa.
Adding to his remarks, Araghchi commended the principled stance in support of Lebanon’s national unity as held by the Lebanese top legislator, who provided an update on the latest Israeli attacks on the country and their consequences.
Berri underlined that "the aim of the Israeli regime is to destroy Lebanon’s vital infrastructure and forcibly displace Lebanese citizens from their areas."
