Islamic Resistance launches drone and rocket strikes on Israeli occupation forces across South Lebanon, targeting troop gatherings and military positions.

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon continues to bravely confront the Israeli occupation forces, in defense of Lebanon and in response to the continued airstrikes and violations conducted by the Israeli entity.

According to a statement, at 16:00 on Sunday, the resistance targeted a gathering of Israeli occupation soldiers near the Martyr Salah Ghandour Hospital in the city of Bint Jbeil using a swarm of attack drones, achieving direct hits. Earlier, at 05:00, another gathering of Israeli forces in the town of al-Bayyada was struck with similar attack drones, also resulting in direct hits.

Further operations were carried out throughout the day. At 10:15, a drone strike targeted Israeli troops in the town of al-Taybeh, followed at 13:15 by another strike against a gathering of forces in the town of Shamaa. At 14:00, resistance fighters struck a command position of Israeli forces between the town of Aita al-Shaab and the city of Bint Jbeil using attack drones, again reporting direct hits.

At 17:00, the resistance said it targeted an Israeli Merkava tank near a hospital in the town of Mays al-Jabal with a drone, resulting in a direct hit. Additionally, at 18:00, 18:20, and 18:40, rocket barrages were launched in successive waves against gatherings of Israeli vehicles and troops near al-Ishraq School in Bint Jbeil and the Triangle of Liberation area, with direct impacts reported.

Earlier at 09:45, a military vehicle carrying a command crew was targeted in al-Taybeh with a drone strike. This was followed at 11:10 by a drone attack on the settlement of Kiryat Shmona.

The Islamic Resistance said its operations have continued since the expansion of hostilities on March 2, adding that its response will continue until the Israeli-American aggression against Lebanon comes to an end.
