The Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah has released a video of striking three Israeli military bases lying in the northern part of the occupied Palestinian territories amid reports that thousands of illegal settlers fled into shelters.
The resistance group issued the footage on Monday, saying the operations had been conducted a day earlier.
Hezbollah identified the targeted bases as Ayelet, Meron, and Nimra, saying the outposts had been hit with more than a hundred Katyusha rockets.
The American news website Axios reported that a US citizen was wounded in the attacks, citing American officials.
The Israeli regime’s Channel 12 identified the wounded person as an American, not an Israeli settler with dual US nationality, saying the Hezbollah operation had also injured several others.
Other Israeli outlets said he had received extensive and serious injury.
The reason for the American’s presence in the closed military barracks remains unknown, Axios added.
The development came amid close intelligence cooperation between the United States and the Israeli regime that has been ramped up amid Tel Aviv’s ongoing incursions on several regional fronts.
Lebanon’s al-Mayadeen television network, meanwhile, reported that Hezollah’s operations had prompted around 250,000 illegal settlers into shelters.
The regime began carrying out sporadic attacks against Lebanon following the onset of a genocidal war that it has been staging against the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023. The attacks have prompted a firefight with Hezbollah.
The movement has retaliated against the aggression by firing hundreds of rockets into the northern parts of the occupied territories.
Tel Aviv has also been issuing recurrent threats of turning Lebanon into another Gaza.
Last month, the Israeli army said it had approved plans for an attack on the country, raising concerns that the regime might try to realize the threats.
Hezbollah fought off two Israeli wars against Lebanon in 2000 and 2006, forcing a humiliating retreat upon the Tel Aviv regime’s military in both cases.
The movement has wowed to defend Lebanon robustly in case of another one.
