Number Of Lebanese Martyrs Increases Amid Israeli Assassination Campaign

On Thursday, Al-Jamaa Al-Islamiya commander Mohammed Hamed Jbara was martyred when an Israeli drone targeted his vehicle in the village of Ghazze, in the Beqaa valley, located in southern Lebanon.

Jamaa Islamiya and its armed wing the Fajr Forces issued a statement, confirming that Jbara, also known as Abu Mahmud, was martyred in a “treacherous Zionist raid”.

In a statement, the Lebanese resistance movement announced the martyrdom of five Hezbollah fighters, namely Ali Hussein Wizani (the jihadi name Ali al-Akbar), Ali Hassan Nahleh (the jihadi name Hazeen), Mahdi Muhammad Khaireddine (the jihadi name Abu Turab), Samir Eid Qabbani (the jihadi name Abu Samra), and Amer Jamil Dagher (the jihadist name Abbas), during the jihadi missions.

Thus, the number of Hezbollah martyrs since the onset of Operation Al-Aqsa Storm has increased to 354.

The Israeli regime’s army targeted residential neighborhoods in the town of Kfar Kila (Marjayoun), using heavy machine gun. Israeli artillery also shelled the outskirts of the towns of Houla and Markaba, both in the Marjayoun district, according to locals. Israeli artillery shelling targeted the town of Marwahin.

In response to the crimes committed by the Israeli regime, Hezbollah announced in two statements that it pounded the Birkat Risha site facing the Lebanese town of Al-Bustan and the Israeli Rahab site facing the Lebanese village of Aita ash-Shab with Burkan rockets.

On Thursday morning, Hezbollah fighters attacked the towns of Sa’ar and Gesher HaZiv in the northwest of occupied Palestine with dozens of rockets, in response to the Israeli regime’s attack on civilian areas in southern Lebanon, especially the crime of assassinating three children in the village of umm al-Tut.

Secretary General of Hezbollah Sayed Hassan Nasrallah warned the Israeli regime against attacking civilians in Lebanon during a televised address on Wednesday.

He warned that continued attacks against civilians would push the resistance to rocket attacks and target new settlements that were not previously targeted.
