TEHRAN- To understand how Lebanon's Hezbollah is helping innocent civilians in Gaza from the Israeli bombardment, it is important to first revisit the words of its chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah. 

In his second speech on Saturday since the start of Hamas' retaliatory al-Aqsa Storm operation on October 7, the Hezbollah leader said the front with the Israeli occupation will remain active. 

Sayyed Nasrallah explained that Hezbollah "would continue with its position".

"This front will stay, and we are going to continue with our heroic fighters," he said.

The enemy, he said, will ultimately be forced to back down.

Nasrallah said his resistance group had used new types of weapons and struck new targets in Israel in recent days. 

There had been "an upgrade" in Hezbollah's operations along its front with the Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories in the north, he said. "There has been a quantitative improvement in the number of operations, the size and the number of targets, as well as an increase in the type of weapons".

The popular Lebanese group is now using new missiles and weaponised drones. 

Hezbollah has dispatched a large number of drones to the occupied Palestinian territories, as far as Haifa and beyond. 

Some of these are surveillance drones that return with the required spying material.

Other drones that Hezbollah has flown toward occupied territories do not return.

Hezbollah says it prefers that these drones do not return as they use up missiles from the Israeli Iron Dome? system, the Patriot Missile system, and sometimes forces the regime to scramble its combat helicopters and warplanes. 

This is a daily occurrence and complicates the Israeli regime's military action against the besieged Gaza Strip. 

There is heightened anxiety among the Israeli military about another front opening up in the north. 

Analysts have pointed out that this anxiety also relieves some of the pressure that Gaza is facing. 

Israel’s anxiety is also evident in the statements of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his war minister Yoav Gallant, who have raised their threats against Hezbollah and Lebanon. 

For the first time in Hezbollah’s history, it has fired what is known as Burkan missiles against the Israeli occupation forces. 
The Burkan missile can be loaded with up to half a ton of explosives. 
These missiles have led to extensive damage against Israeli troops, military bases, and installations that include spying devices, which the Zionists continue to install near the Lebanese border. 
Hezbollah says it will continue on this path in solidarity with Gaza and will address, study, and take military measures on a daily basis on the backdrop of the crisis unfolding in the Gaza Strip.  

Experts say if the United States wants to prevent the war on Gaza from expanding to other fronts, it can very easily tell the Israeli regime in private to end its bombardment of innocent civilians.

The powerful Lebanese political party and resistance group has been trading fire with the Israeli military on a daily basis since October 8, a day after Hamas' retaliatory al-Aqsa Storm operation. 

On Tuesday, Israeli artillery shells and drones struck around a dozen Lebanese border villages and towns.  

On Friday, the deputy manager of just one Israeli hospital in the occupied Galilee said they received more than 350 casualties, among them troops and settlers. 

There have been growing casualties on both sides. 

Hezbollah says it has inflicted "more than 1,400 casualties among the Zionists since the beginning of the war until Sunday".

Dozens of Hezbollah soldiers have also died.

For about three weeks, the fighting was largely contained within several kilometers between the Lebanese and Israeli-occupied Palestinian border, but Hezbollah has expanded its range of fire.
Over the past ten days, the Lebanese resistance started using Katyusha rockets deeper into the occupied Palestinian territories in retaliation for the aggression that the regime's military has been committing against Lebanese civilians. 

Hezbollah immediately retaliated after an Israeli attack killed an elderly Lebanese woman and her three granddaughters by targeting the Israeli settlement of Kiryat Shmona with Katyusha rockets. 

The Israeli strike has been condemned as a "reckless disregard for civilian life" by Human Rights Watch (HRW). 

The three children and their grandmother were killed when the Israeli military struck a car between the towns of Ainata and Aitaroun. 

The children's mother survived the attack and remains in hospital. 

The human rights organization said Israeli authorities have "long failed to credibly investigate their own serious abuses, even when they acknowledge they carried them out". 

"With Israeli authorities continuing to commit abuses with impunity, Israel's allies should insist on accountability for Israel's violations of the laws of war and this apparent war crime," HRW added.
Meanwhile, Hezbollah’s central media released a series of statements each backed by a video entitled "in support of the resilient Palestinian people in Gaza and in solidarity with their brave and honorable resistance." 

The videos show Hezbollah commandos at the frontline destroying Israeli logistical forces, infantry forces, military bases, barracks, and outposts. The footage shows Israeli troops and military installations being blown up. 

One Hezbollah missile attack led to injuries and deaths among Israeli workers at a spying center, which Western media referred to as an Israeli electric company. 

In what has been seen as an attempt by the Israeli military to censor the military events unfolding in the north, it struck a group of journalists in the southern Lebanese town of Yaroun. 

The journalists say the regime launched missiles from a drone in the sky that landed very close, lightly injuring some of them. 
Hezbollah dismissed Israel’s narrative of the attack, saying it was "aimed at preventing the media from exposing its terrorist practices, while they were on an announced and known tour in the town of Yaroun to cover the effects of the Zionist attacks."

The mayor of Yaroun said two successive Israeli strikes "targeted the group of journalists," hitting several meters from the teams’ vehicles and causing damage.

Israeli media described Monday as being "the most heated day since the beginning of the battle in the north," adding that "Hezbollah ignored the warnings of Galant".

On Monday, Sayyed Hashem Safeiddine, head of Hezbollah’s executive council, declared that "the Resistance against the Israeli enemy is enduring and persistent". 

Adding further pressure on the regime, the missiles of the Lebanese resistance have weakened the Israeli currency against the dollar and the euro. 
Israeli media strongly indicated that tensions on the border with Hezbollah are leading to a decline in the shekel against the dollar and the euro.

The operations in southern Lebanon affected the stock market in Tel Aviv on Monday, which fell sharply and led to a rise in Israeli government bond yields.

A rise in Israeli bond yields means an increase in the cost of public debt, which Israelis desperately don't need at this time due to a budget deficit that the regime last reported at 22.9 billion shekels. 

It also means that foreign investors will be reluctant to buy Israeli assets. 

According to Bloomberg, the Israeli economy has been losing about a billion dollars every four days. 

The Central Bank of Israel earlier launched a program worth $30 billion to sell foreign currency, with the beginning of the aggression on Gaza, to prevent a sharp deterioration in the shekel exchange rate.

This is believed to be the first time ever that foreign currency has been sold by the Bank of Israel to settlers.
The Governor of the Bank of Israel, Amir Yaron, said the war in the Gaza Strip was costing the occupation "more than expected," describing it as a "major shock" to the economy.
