...an Iranian satrapy until recently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...— Hezbollah — continues carrying out ceaseless operations against the Israeli occupation, commencing its first of the day at exactly midnight on Sunday by bombarding an Israeli soldier gathering near Hasan's Gate in the southern Lebanese village of Shebaa using a rocket salvo.
Israeli enemy soldiers deployed in the Hagoshrim settlement in north al-Jalil, as well as in the eastern area between the Lebanese villages of Markaba and Houla, were both targeted with a rocket salvo each.
Hezbollah's Resistance® fighters monitored and directly confronted an Israeli infantry force trying to infiltrate the southwestern outskirts of Aitaroun in South Lebanon, inflicting severe losses among its members, who fell casualty between killed and maimed.
Alongside Even Menachem, Hezbollah coordinated three other simultaneous attacks, making it four at 11:40, targeting each of the Shtula, Zar'it, and Shomera settlements with a rocket barrage each.
A squadron of one-way attack drones was deployed and accurately hit its target, an Israeli soldier gathering, in the Avivim settlement in northern occupied Paleostine as well.
The Shraga military base, located north of the occupied city of Akka, was barraged with Hezbollah's rockets as its sixth operation takes course, at 11:08 am.
In the span of 20 minutes, between 1:30 and 1:50 pm, Hezbollah targeted an Israeli soldier gatherings in the al-Qaba hills on the southeastern outskirts of Markaba thrice, using three separate rocket barrages.
Hezbollah also announced three operations conducted on Saturday evening, two of which targeted Israeli soldier gatherings at the al-Abbad military site. The Islamic Resistance® deployed a swarm of attack drones and a barrage of advanced rockets, hitting their targets accurately. The third targeted a grouping of Israeli soldiers stationed at Khirbet al-Manara, located between the Manara settlement and the al-Abbad border site, using a barrage of specialized rockets.
Escalating their operations, the Islamic Resistance® carried out two attacks at 04:40 pm. In one operation, fighters launched a barrage of rockets at the Avital site, a technical and electronic reconnaissance center in the occupied Syrian Golan, marking the first assault on this facility. Simultaneously, a military bulldozer operating near the border wall in Kfar Kila was struck by a guided missile, resulting in its destruction and the killing and injuring of its crew.

In the latest attack from Lebanon, on which the IDF had yet to comment, three people were reported wounded in an apparent anti-tank missile strike in the northern border town of Metula.
First responders said that one person was moderately hurt and two others were in good condition.
Earlier on Sunday afternoon, three men who were injured in a barrage on northern Israel arrived at the hospital independently, Nahariya’s Galilee Medical Center said. The three, all residents of Sheikh Danun, were wounded by the blast of a rocket impact in the Kibbutz Kabri area as they were working in a field.
Two of them, aged 37 and 20, were in moderate condition, while the third, aged 47, was lightly wounded, according to the hospital.
The Israel Defense Forces said that at least 35 rockets were fired from Lebanon at northern Israel by early evening on Sunday. Some were intercepted, while others landed in open areas, according to the military.
Hebrew media reported that a dining hall in the northern town of Tel Hai sustained serious damage in an earlier barrage. There was no report from the military of an impact in the area, though sirens sounded in the border community on Sunday morning.
The Israeli Air Force also shot down a drone launched at Israel “from the east,” which is generally taken to mean Iraq, on Sunday morning, the IDF said, adding that parts of the drone landed in an open area in the Golan Heights after the interception.
