Beirut, March 25 (RHC)-- The Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement has fired dozens of rockets at the northern part of the 1948 Israeli-occupied territories, targeting missile and artillery launch pads at two Israeli military barracks in response to the regime’s strikes on the eastern Lebanese city of Baalbek.

Lebanon’s Arabic-language al-Mayadeen television news channel reported that the barrage, one of the heaviest since the start of pro-Palestine retaliatory operations in October, hit facilities at Yoav and Keila barracks in the predawn hours of Sunday.

Hezbollah said in a brief statement that the attack came in support of steadfast Palestinians in the Gaza Strip as well as their brave and honorable resistance fighters and in response to Israeli attacks on the city of Baalbek in eastern Lebanon.

It highlighted that the attack on the Keila barracks was conducted with more than 60 Katyusha rockets, and came as a unit of the Golani Brigade that had lately returned from the Gaza Strip was exercising in the area.

Israeli media reported that at least 50 rockets were launched from Lebanon toward the occupied Syrian Golan Heights, pointing out that the Israeli military shot down only several of the projectiles.  Three people were wounded by Israeli air strikes on Lebanon's eastern city of Baalbek overnight, one of which hit a two-storey building.

The Israeli military claimed in a statement fighter jets “struck a Hezbollah manufacturing site containing weapons in the area of Baalbek.”  “The Israeli air force fired five missiles at a two-storey inhabited building in al-Osseira, on the outskirts of Baalbek,” a correspondent for AFP news agency said.

The Israeli regime launched the devastating war on Gaza on October 7 after the territory’s Hamas-led Palestinian resistance groups carried out a surprise retaliatory attack, dubbed Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, against the occupying entity.

The Israeli war on Gaza has killed at least 32,142 people, most of them children and women.  The Israeli military has also been carrying out attacks against the Lebanese territory since the start of the Gaza war, prompting retaliatory strikes from Lebanon’s resistance movement Hezbollah in support of the Palestinian people in the Strip.

The movement has vowed to keep up its retaliatory operations as long as the Tel Aviv regime continues its onslaught on Gaza.
