Hezbollah claims it launched 24 attacks yesterday targeting invading troops, military vehicles, and infrastructure as well as firing multiple rocket barrages at the Kiryat Shmona settlement in northern Israel, according to Al Jazeera.

In a statement, the group outlined its extensive use of rocket salvoes, artillery fire and attack drones to strike Israeli forces.

Key targets included five Merkava tanks, a military bulldozer, and military infrastructure in Safad, Nahariyya and Karmiel, the Meron air surveillance base, and Israel army barracks at Liman, Shomera, and Yaara.

Strikes focused heavily on repelling advancing soldiers around the areas of Zawtar al-Sharqiyah, Yohmor al-Shaqif, Debel and al-Ghandouriyah, where the Lebanese group claimed to have carried out multiple ambushes and multi-weapon attacks.
