Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah has targeted Israeli military sites on the border with the Arab country.

Lebanon’s Arabic-language and Hezbollah-linked al-Manar television network reported on Saturday that the fighters launched barrages of rockets, mortar shells and anti-tank guided missiles at the military sites in the occupied Shebaa Farms and Kfarchouba Hills.

Initial reports indicate at least 10 Israeli troops sustained critical injuries as a result of the Hezbollah attacks. They were transported to Galilee Medical Center in the city of Nahariya.

Local sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, also said Hezbollah mortar shells are falling on the Braniat barracks – the command center of the Galilee Brigade.

The Israeli military said in a statement it is returning fire and shelling nearby border areas.

Palestinian fighters have also launched attacks on Israeli-occupied lands from southern Lebanon.

Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah expounded on the current situation in Palestine during a meeting with Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian of Iran in Beirut on Friday.

“Today, the state of resistance is strong, and all scenarios are fully prepared,” he stated.

The high-level meeting also addressed the readiness of Palestinian resistance groups to counter Israel.

Both sides unequivocally condemned the one-sided support of the United States and certain Western countries for the Israeli onslaught against the besieged Gaza Strip and the tragic loss of innocent Palestinian lives.

They also emphasized the paramount importance of unity among Muslim states and freedom-loving people worldwide, underscoring the necessity for concerted action to put an end to Israeli crimes.

Earlier on Friday, a Reuters journalist of the Lebanese nationality was killed when an Israeli shell landed in a gathering of international journalists covering clashes on the border in south Lebanon. Six other journalists were wounded.

Reuters news agency said two of its journalists, identified as Thaer al-Sudani and Maher Nazeh, were wounded in the shelling in the border area.

Qatar’s Al-Jazeera television news network also said two of its employees, Elie Brakhya and reporter Carmen Joukhadar, were among the wounded.
