Lebanon's Hezbollah said in a statement on Sunday that it targeted the spying equipment at the Raheb site on the Lebanese-Palestinian border and directly hit it, destroying it, while the Israeli army monitored the launching of rockets and shells from Lebanon towards Israel during the last hour.
At the same time, recorded footage was received from the media of a heavy rocket barrage being launched from Lebanon, which fell on several sites in the occupation settlements and in the Lower Galilee region, while the Israeli Ambulance Authority reported that an Israeli was "seriously" injured in the town of Kfar Zeitim and several fires broke out in the vicinity of Tiberias in northern Israel.
The Israeli Army Radio said that sirens sounded in areas in northern Israel, up to the "Sde Ilan" area, 33 kilometers from the Lebanese border, while the Hebrew website Walla said that sirens sounded in some areas in northern Israel for the first time since the beginning of the war.
In a related context, the Israeli occupation army claimed yesterday (Saturday) to have killed a leader in the Lebanese Hezbollah air defense force in eastern Lebanon. The Israeli army said in a statement, "The forces eliminated Maytham Mustafa al-Attar, who was considered an important expert element in the Hezbollah air defense force." It added, "Al-Attar was an important experienced element in the Hezbollah air defense system, and played a role in planning and executing various attacks against the State of Israel."
In contrast, the party mourned in a statement "Maytham Mustafa Al-Attar, born in 1991, from the town of Shaath in the Bekaa (east), who was martyred on the road to Jerusalem," without further details.
Earlier on Saturday, Lebanon's official news agency said one person was killed in an airstrike carried out by an Israeli drone that targeted a car in the town of Shaath in the Bekaa Valley in eastern Lebanon.
Lebanese and Palestinian factions in Lebanon, most notably Hezbollah, have been exchanging daily shelling with the Israeli army across the "Blue Line" since October 8, leaving hundreds dead and wounded, most of them on the Lebanese side. These factions are making the cessation of shelling conditional on Israel ending a war it has been waging with American support on the Gaza Strip since October 7, which has left around 125,000 Palestinians dead and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 10,000 missing.
Highly saddening.
