Hezbollah carried out early on Monday a preemptive strike on an Israeli barracks near the border with Lebanon, inflicting losses and damage upon the Zionist occupation.
The Lebanese Islamic Resistance declared in a statement that its fighters have targeted an Israeli force near Zari’t Barracks, which was preparing to carry out an aggression in the Lebanese territories.
“In support of our steadfast Palestinian people in Gaza and in solidarity with their courageous and honorable resistance, Islamic Resistance fighters targeted an “Israeli” force in the vicinity of Zar’it barracks, which was preparing to carry out an aggression in the Lebanese territories, at 12:00 AM on Monday, January 22, 2024, with missile weapons, resulting in confirmed injuries among them,” read the statement, provided by Hezbollah’s military Media Center.
The development came hours after Hezbollah announced in a separate statement that it had launched a heavy-caliber Burkan (Volcano) missile at 4:45 p.m. (1445 GMT) on Sunday, targeting a gathering of Israeli soldiers at the Hadab al-Bustan site. There were casualties among the forces.
Lebanese resistance fighters also targeted Israeli soldiers at an outpost in Ruwaisat al-Qarn area in the occupied Shebaa Farms with a salvo of rockets, causing casualties among the forces.
