The Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement says it has struck Israeli troops near the border with southern Lebanon in response to the regime’s ongoing genocidal war in Gaza, and in support of Palestinian fighters facing off a relentless offensive.

Lebanon’s Arabic-language al-Mayadeen television news network, citing a brief Hezbollah statement, reported that the group launched a heavy-caliber Burkan (Volcano) missile at the Israeli al-Baghdadi military outpost on Saturday, and that the projectile precisely struck the designated target.

The development came a day after the resistance fighters targeted a gathering of Israeli troops near al-Raheb military site with a barrage of artillery shells, Press TV reported. 
Israeli forces stationed at al-Sammaqa as well as Ruwaisat al-Alam outposts in the occupied Kfarchouba Hills also came under separate rocket attacks.

Hezbollah fighters also used a surface-to-surface Falaq-1 (Dusk-1) missile to directly pound Israeli soldiers close to Jal al-Alam military site.

Meanwhile, Israeli warplanes on Saturday bombed a house in the southern town of Majdal Zoun, totally destroying it. Emergency crew and paramedics rushed to the area to save those trapped under the rubble, Lebanon's official National News Agency said.

Earlier in the day, an Israeli drone fired a missile at an empty house in the southern border town of Blida.

The Israeli regime has been attacking southern Lebanon off and on since October 7, when it launched the devastating campaign of death and destruction in Gaza.

In retaliation, Hezbollah has launched near-daily rocket attacks on Israeli positions.

At least 280 people have been killed on the Lebanese border, most of them Hezbollah fighters but also 44 civilians. 

Israel says at least ten of its troopers and six settlers have been killed in the area. 

The fighting has forced the evacuation of tens of thousands from the northern part of the occupied territories, which have been pummeled by rocket fire and shelling carried out by Hezbollah and allied Palestinian groups.

Hezbollah has already fought off two Israeli wars against Lebanon in 2000 and 2006. The resistance forced the regime to retreat in both conflicts.
