Lebanon’s Islamic Resistance targeted multiple Israeli military sites and forces with missile salvos, including the Mishmar HaKarmel site of the Israeli army’s missile defense system south of the occupied city of Haifa.
In separate operations, fighters hit a gathering of occupying soldiers and their armored vehicles in the Khanouq area of the town of Adaisseh and targeted a gathering of Israeli soldiers in the Avivim settlement with a missile salvo.
At dawn, the Islamic Resistance shelled the occupation’s barracks with missiles and drones and carried out targeted operations against the Metula and Doviv settlements, the Shomera base, and the Ghajar site.
The same account also said i24 News estimated Hezbollah possesses around 15,000 missiles of various types, with most short-range and some long-range, and that it remains capable of firing them.
Hezbollah publishes operation tally
Hezbollah published a summary of operations it carried out against Israel on Saturday “in defense of Lebanon and its people,” using missiles, drones, and artillery shells.
The report says Hezbollah issued 35 military statements about “defensive actions against the movements of the Israeli enemy at the Lebanese-Palestinian border,” as well as operations targeting sites, bases, and deployments of the Israeli army and its settlers in northern occupied Palestine.

Among the listed actions, it describes a 00:30 operation after monitoring movements of a force near Bidar al-Faqani in the town of al-Taybeh, where fighters lured it into an ambush and targeted it with rocket-propelled missiles, artillery shells, and diving drones.
It also includes a 02:30 strike “Targeting Merkava tanks in the vicinity of the reservoir in the town of al-Qantara with guided missiles, achieving direct hits.”
Lebanon urged to stay out
As escalation involving Iran and Israel unfolded, L’Orient-Le Jour said officials in Lebanon were calling to keep Lebanon out of the conflict, while Hezbollah said it is “in solidarity” with Iran.
The same live coverage described Israel entering a new phase in its conflict with Iran “alongside new strikes against Hezbollah in Lebanon,” and it said state media reported Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon with casualties not reported at that stage.
It further cited the Lebanese Hezbollah statement that in response to “the criminal Israeli aggression that hit dozens of Lebanese towns and villages, including the southern suburb of Beirut,” fighters launched an attack with “volleys of rockets and artillery fire.”
The coverage also reported that at around 2:10 a.m., air-raid sirens sounded in Israeli towns targeted, with “no casualties or damage reported.”
