Hezbollah responds to Israeli attack on civilians, targets Beit Hillel

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon announced early Sunday including a new settlement in northern occupied Palestine to its target bank in response to the Israeli attacks on civilians in Lebanon on Saturday.

In a statement, Hezbollah said that “in response to the Israeli enemy’s attacks on the steadfast southern villages and the safe homes, particularly the attacks on the villages of Kafr Kila and Deir Siryan that resulted in civilian injuries,” it added the settlement of Beit Hillel to its list of targets for the first time, targeting it with dozens of Katyusha rockets.

All recent operations by Hezbollah only involved targeted strikes against Israeli military bases and positions in the Beit Hillel settlement.

The leader of Hezbollah Sayyed Nasrallah had vowed last month that Israeli strikes on civilians in Lebanon would be met with retaliatory attacks from the Resistance, targeting settlements that had remained untouched since the confrontation began on October 8, 2023.

Since then, with “Israel’s” systemic targeting and killing of civilians, Hezbollah has introduced several new settlements to its target bank, forcing many settlers who have not yet evacuated to flee.
