News - Middle East: Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement has launched two successful retaliatory operations against the northern part of the occupied Palestinian territories, targeting an elite Israeli brigade, which is infamous for its decades-long atrocities across the occupied territories.

On Saturday, the movement said it had “launched an aerial attack with a squadron of attack drones on the Shraga base, the administrative headquarters of the Golani Brigade Command, north of the occupied city of Akka, for the second time.”

The kamikaze aircraft “hit their targets accurately,” the group said.

The brigade is considered to be one of the Israeli military’s “most highly decorated” elite infantry units, which features five battalions.

The brigade’s brown beret-wearing forces have been engaged in war crimes and crimes against humanity since 1948, when the Israeli regime claimed existence on the back of a Western-backed war against regional territories. Their involvement in such atrocities went on throughout the regime’s 2000 and 2006 deadly and devastating wars on Lebanon up until now that Tel Aviv is waging a genocidal war against the Gaza Strip and a markedly deadly escalation towards Lebanon.

Last month, Hezbollah’s fighters killed at least seven members of the unit and injured scores of others, some 17 of them seriously, during clashes on Lebanon’s southern border with the occupied territories.

Also on Saturday, the movement targeted gatherings of Israeli troops in the illegal settlements of Malikiyah and Manara with rocket barrages, and hit the settlements of Meron and Ayelet HaShahar with more rocket salvos.

The group’s fighters, meanwhile, targeted an advanced Israeli Merkava tank with a guided missile in the vicinity of the school in the town of Jebbine in southern Lebanon, destroying the vehicle and causing deaths and injuries among its crews.

They also launched an aerial attack with a drone squadron on a gathering of Israeli forces at the al-Amra Gate on the southern outskirts of the city of Khiam, and struck an Israeli army position on the northeastern outskirts of the town of al-Bayada with machine guns and rockets in southern Lebanon. 

Hezbollah separately released a video, depicting its fighters preparing and loading projectiles onto launchers as part of the movement’s ongoing struggle against the Israeli regime.

The movement has been conducting hundreds of successful retaliatory operations against the occupied territories since last October, when the regime began its war on Gaza and intensified its deadly attacks against Lebanon.

The war has claimed the lives of at least 44,176 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and wounded 104,473 others, in Gaza, while the escalation has killed more than 3,645 people across Lebanon.

Recently, Hezbollah announced having killed more than 100 Israeli troops and wounded over 1,000 others as part of its reprisal.

It has vowed to sustain its strikes until the regime ceases the war on Gaza and aggression against Lebanon.
