The Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah says it has targeted an Israeli military position in the northern occupied territories, Press TV reports.
Hezbollah said in a statement on Monday that a volley of Katyusha rockets was fired at the newly established headquarters of the 146th Division in Giaton.
The movement added that the operation was carried out in response to Israel’s attacks on civilian areas in southern Lebanon, particularly in the town of Maaroub.
“The fighters of the Islamic Resistance on Monday, 12-08-2024, bombarded the newly-established command headquarters of the 146th Division in Jaatoun with Katyusha rocket barrages,” said a statement.
According to the Israeli regime’s media, Israel’s Iron Dome air defense system was unable to intercept most of Hezbollah’s missiles.
The attack caused a huge fire in the western part of Galilee in the north of the occupied territories.
Israel has been conducting near-daily attacks against the southern parts of Lebanon since October 7, when it launched a genocidal war on Gaza.
Hezbollah has been responding with strikes aimed both at retaliating against the regime and supporting the war-hit Gazans.
