Islam Times - Hezbollah Pounds Israeli Positions in Khiam

Islam Times - The Lebanese Hezbollah launched a series of targeted strikes against Israeli forces and positions, marking a significant escalation in the area around al-Khiam and beyond.

The Hezbollah forces struck a grouping of Israeli soldiers east of al-Khiam with a barrage of rockets and artillery shells, Al Mayadeen reported.

The Israeli forces in Wadi al-Khiam, southeast of the town, were targeted in four separate barrages, beginning with artillery shells and followed by consecutive rocket attacks. Another round of strikes focused on Israeli forces south of al-Khiam, with artillery and rocket barrages reported in succession.

In a separate operation, the Islamic Resistance fighters fired a substantial barrage of rockets at the Karmiel settlement, intensifying the range of their strikes beyond immediate military targets. Shortly afterwards, fighters launched a barrage targeting Israeli forces in the Yiftah settlement, followed by an operation by air defense units engaging a Hermes 450 drone over Lebanon’s western sector, ultimately forcing its retreat.

Additional attacks later in the day included a targeted rocket barrage on Israeli forces positioned in the Kawakh area of the Houla Plain, north of Ramat Naftali, and an assault on the Ramim barracks.

Later in the day, a large rocket barrage was directed at the Krayot cluster of settlements situated north of occupied Haifa.

Continuing their series of intensive strikes in support of Gaza and defense of Lebanon, the Hezbollah fighters expanded their operations against Israeli forces and strategic sites.

A series of rocket barrages began with a strike on Israeli forces stationed in the Zar'it barracks, followed by another targeting forces in the Avivim settlement. A sixth barrage in Wadi al-Khiam dealt extensive damage to the Israeli occupation forces in the area.

Hezbollah then attacked the Yarka storage facilities east of Akka with a substantial barrage of rockets, causing serious casualties.

On the eastern outskirts of al-Khiam, the Israeli occupation forces faced an assault by a specialized rocket, while subsequent barrages struck forces at the al-Maslakh district area south of al-Khiam, in the Manara settlement, and on the eastern outskirts of Maroun al-Ras.

As the night approached, a large barrage targeted Israeli forces in Metula, intensifying pressure on the Israeli occupation forces. Additionally, Islamic Resistance fighters utilized attack drones, achieving precise hits on Israeli positions within the Shomera settlement.
