Hezbollah Gives Israeli Zionists Tit for Tat
Hezbollah targets Israeli soldiers in northern occupied Palestine, October 27, 2024
On the evening of Saturday, October 26, the Lebanese Resistance Movement Hezbollah issued an evacuation directive to Israeli settlers in 25 settlements in northern occupied Palestine, mirroring similar actions by Israeli occupation forces who had previously issued evacuation orders in various areas across Lebanon. Hezbollah said that Israeli forces had stationed military units in these settlements, effectively turning them into operational outposts.
The settlements included in the evacuation order are Kiryat Shmona, Yesud HaMa'ala, Ayelet HaShahar, Hatzor HaGlilit, Karmeil, Maalot Tarshiha, Even Menachem, Nahariya, Rosh Pina, Shamir, Shaal, Meron, Kapri, Abirim, Dalton, Neve Ziv, Katzrin, Kfar Hanania, Manot, Beit HaEmek, Kfar Vradim, Harashim, Birya, Kidmat Tsvi, and Bar Yohai.
Designating these locations as legitimate targets for Hezbollah's air and missile forces, the warning read, "You are requested to evacuate immediately. Your settlements have become locations of deployment for enemy military forces attacking Lebanon and are thus deemed legitimate military targets for the air and missile forces of the Islamic Resistance." It cautioned settlers to avoid areas near these facilities "for their own safety, until further notice."
On Sunday, October 27, Hezbollah rockets and drones hit many Israeli settlements including Kiryat Shmona and Nahariya. "The Islamic Resistance fighters targeted on Sunday afternoon, October 27, 2024, the Shoumera settlement with an attack drone, hitting its targets accurately," Hezbollah informed.
Separate rocket attacks targeted gatherings of Israeli soldiers in some other settlements in the occupied territories. Hezbollah said the "fighters of the Islamic Resistance, at 10:00 pm, on Sunday, October 27, 2024, targeted a gathering of Israeli enemy soldiers in the Misgav Am settlement with a barrage of rockets."
The resistance movement launched a drone strike on Israel's Marj
site as well, causing casualties among the regime's forces there.
Al Manar reports that on Tuesday, October 29,
Hezbollah launched "coordinated operations as it steadfastly
defended Lebanese territory." It noted that these actions are in
line with the strategy of "hurting the enemy" announced by Sheikh
Naim Qassem in his capacity as Secretary General of Hezbollah, the
post to which he was elected on October 29. "The group’s Military
Media declared rocket attacks and drone strikes on strategic
locations in occupied territories and Israeli forces attempting to
infiltrate the border. Additionally, Hezbollah fighters
successfully downed an Israeli Hermes-900 UAV in Lebanese
airspace, underscoring their commitment to countering the Israeli
threat," Al Manar added.
"The impact of this escalation is evident, as Israel’s Yisrael Hayom reported today that nearly 900 Israeli occupation soldiers have
been hospitalized since the onset of ground operations in
Lebanon."
Hezbollah is a formidable force, Israeli Reserve Colonel Jacques Neriah told Israeli Channel 13 on October 27. Many of Hezbollah's tunnels in southern Lebanon are strategically designed as traps, he said, explaining that Hezbollah fighters often allow Israeli forces to advance, only to ambush them from behind once they have moved forward.
"Hezbollah has now regained its strength," he said, referring to doubt of Zionist claims that the assassination of the Hezbollah Leader Sayeed Hassan Nasrallah had finished the organization. According to Al Mayadeen, Neriah warned that the Lebanese resistance movement is maintaining its momentum and may anticipate that Israeli forces will continue to press deeper into southern Lebanon, providing the group with further opportunities to launch attacks.
"This is something Israel must be wary of, as Hezbollah continues to be encouraged by its recent victories," Neriah cautioned.
