Ahlulbayt News Agency: Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement has fired a barrage of retaliatory rockets at a main Israeli command and intelligence headquarters and military bases as well as illegal settlements immediately after the deadly Israeli airstrikes on the capital Beirut.
Sirens went off across more than 30 illegal settlements in the northern parts of the occupied Palestinian territories.
Hezbollah fired more than 100 rockets as well as drones towards the Israeli targets.
The projectiles reportedly made impact in settlements lying in the northeastern part of the territories.
Hezbollah announced carrying out strikes against Israeli military targets lying in the northern areas, using Katyusha rockets.
It named the targets as the headquarters of the military’s Northern Corps at the Ein Zaitem base, its main intelligence headquarters in the northern region at Mishar base, and the Air Surveillance and Air Operations Unit’s headquarters at the Meron base.
Hezbollah said the targeted intelligence headquarters in the northern region at Mishar base was “responsible for assassinations”.
The barrages came after the Israeli military conducted airstrikes against the Lebanese capital, killing at least eight nine and wounding 59 others, according to Lebanon’s health ministry.
Lebanon’s official National News Agency (NNA) said “five children" were among the fatalities.
The country’s al-Mayadeen television network reported that a drone had fired several missiles against Beirut’s heavily-populated Dahiyeh suburb. NNA also said an F35 jet targeted residential areas with two strikes.
Prime Minister Najib Mikati denounced the aggression, saying, “Targeting a populated area in Beirut’s southern suburbs proves Israeli enemy has no regard for any humanitarian or legal considerations.”
Media outlets cited sources as saying that the attack targeted Ibrahim Aqil, a senior Hezbollah commander.
Aqil is a member of Hezbollah’s Jihad Council, which is responsible for directing the group’s military and security activities.
He has replaced Fuad Shukr, who was assassinated in an Israeli targeted killing attack against Beirut on July 30.
The Israeli regime has intensified its attacks on the country, mostly its southern areas, since October 7, 2023, when it launched a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.
Hezbollah has been responding with hundreds of retaliatory strikes both in support of the war-hit Gazans and in response to the Israeli escalation against Lebanon.
