TEHRAN - Lebanon’s Hezbollah has responded strongly to Tel Aviv’s latest attacks with a squadron of drones and heavy rockets, shelling Israeli command centers and barracks.

Hezbollah launched a drone attack on the Rawiya barracks in the occupied Syrian Golan Heights, targeting buildings used by Israeli soldiers and the headquarters of the occupation army at Biranit.
The Lebanese resistance attacked the nearby Beit Hillel barracks.  

Hezbollah said the aerial attack was staged with a squadron of combat drones on the armored battalion headquarters of Brigade 188 at the Rawiya barracks in the occupied Syrian Golan Heights.

The resistance confirmed that the attack targeted the command building at the barracks, hitting officers’ positions directly, resulting in direct casualties.

This is the first time Hezbollah has targeted the Rawiya barracks headquarters, located about 15 kilometers from the Lebanese border.

Israeli media acknowledged a “difficult” incident in the occupied Golan.

The Israeli military later announced that 18 of their soldiers were injured due to attacks launched by Hezbollah with some in critical condition. 

Hezbollah claimed responsibility for 9 operations in 24 hours.

The resistance targeted the Israeli artillery positions in Khirbet Ma’ar with rockets.

Additionally, Hezbollah targeted the Ruwaisat Al-Qarn site in the Israeli-occupied Shebaa Farms in Lebanon and Samaka in the Kfar Shuba hills using rocket fire, confirming direct hits on both locations.

In separate statements, the Lebanese resistance movement said it had targeted the military command headquarters of an Israeli battalion at the Beit Hillel barracks with missiles, confirming direct hits that partially destroyed the targets and led to casualties.

Israeli military sites in Yeru’on and Al-Mutala were also attacked, “using appropriate weapons and achieving direct hits”.

The resistance movement underscored that its operations are in support of “our steadfast Palestinian people in Gaza and in support of their courageous and noble resistance, in response to the Israeli enemy’s attacks on resilient southern villages and safe homes, especially in the towns of Kfar Kila, Houla, in addition to the town of At-Tayyiba.”

Israeli media reported the sounding of sirens along the northern regions in She’ar Yashuv and Mount Hermon, as well as in the settlements of Beit Hillel, Ma’ayan Baruch and HaGoshrim.

The latest operations also come on the backdrop of the Israeli assassination of three Hezbollah members on Sunday and attacks on residential areas in southern Lebanon. 

The exchange of fire between Hezbollah and the Israeli military has escalated over the past weeks, with the Israeli army killing more Lebanese civilians. Hezbollah has also expanded its operations since the northern Israeli front opened on October 8, one day after the Israeli genocidal war on Gaza started. 

Tel Aviv has threatened a full-scale war against Hezbollah and Lebanon, a move that experts have warned would draw the entire region into the conflict. 

Among the latest to issue a warning to the Israelis has been the Iraqi Resistance Coordination Committee.

In a statement, the committee said in response to threats from the “Zionist-American enemy to launch a comprehensive war on Lebanon and its courageous resistance. The Coordination Committee decided that if the Zionists carry out their threats, the intensity and nature of operations against them will escalate.”

The statement also sent a warning to the U.S. occupation forces in Iraq and its interests beyond Iraqi borders. 

“The criminal interests of the American enemy in Iraq and the region will become legitimate targets for the resistance fighters,” the statement said. 

“The massacres and genocide suffered by our people in Palestine, supported by America, necessitate taking firm stances towards normalization, rather than supporting them with Iraqi oil and money,” the statement added. 

The Iraqi resistance has been the latest group to strongly advise against a full-out war against Hezbollah. Iran and Yemen’s Ansarullah have been among many others who have issued similar warnings recently.
