The Lebanese resistance movement has launched a barrage of missiles on Israeli positions following an assassination attack that martyred top commander in southern parts of the Arab country.

Hezbollah said in a statement on Thursday that the attack was carried out in response to the martyrdom of Mohamed Naim Nasser, who was assassinated a day earlier in an Israeli airstrike on al-Housh area in Tyre in southern Lebanon, and the occupying regime’s months-long onslaught against Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip.

The targets included the new headquarters of the 91st Division in the Ayelet barrack, the headquarters of the 7th Armored Brigade in the Katsaviya barrack, in addition to the headquarters of the Armored Battalion of the 7th Brigade in the Gamla barrack.

Hezbollah also struck the headquarters of the 210th Division (Golan Division) at the Nafah base, and the headquarters of the artillery regiment of the 210th Division in the Yarden barracks.

The Lebanese resistance movement said it had targeted the al-Marj site with a heavy Burkan missile, hitting it directly.

Israeli media said missile sirens went off in several illegal settlements in the northeast of the occupied territories, adding, “Fires broke out in a number of areas in northern Israel” following the attacks.

Since early October, Hezbollah and Israel have been involved in a series of deadly clashes. These confrontations were initiated after the Tel Aviv regime launched a genocidal assault on the Gaza Strip following a surprise operation by the Palestinian Hamas resistance group.

Hezbollah has vowed to maintain its retaliatory strikes as long as the Israeli regime continues its Gaza war, which has killed 37,925 people and injured 87,141 so far.
