BEIRUT (Dispatches) – Lebanon’s Hezbollah on Monday 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 had fled into shelters.
The resistance group released the footage, 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 U.S. citizen was wounded in the attacks, citing American officials.
The Zionist regime’s Channel 12 identified the wounded person as an American, not an Israeli settler with dual U.S., 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 Zionist 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 military 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. 
On Sunday, a senior Lebanese lawmaker said Hezbollah’s damage to Israel as a result of its pro-Palestinian retaliatory operations cannot be repaired for the next few decades.
“As a result of these attacks, we have dealt major blows to the Zionist enemy, which it cannot recover from within the next few decades,” Muhammad Raad, head of Loyalty to the Resistance Bloc, the political wing of Hezbollah, in the Lebanese parliament, said.
“The Israeli society is collapsing, and we are seeing the last stages of a purported unified society,” Raad stated.
He said Hezbollah’s operations are aimed at protecting Lebanon’s national dignity and territorial integrity, and that the group’s attempts in the path of confronting the Israeli regime are not in vain.
Raad stressed that the Lebanese resistance movement did not enter the struggle for futile interests and purposes.
Hezbollah’s anti-Israeli strikes will make Lebanon immune

 to Israel’s aggression and will deter the usurping regime from entertaining the notion of mounting a military offensive on the Arab country, he said.
“We will identify the Zionist regime’s pressure levers and strike them in order to weaken the enemy and thwart its expansionist objectives. Even though such confrontation requires great patience and persistence as well as hefty costs, it is worth it as the enemy’s aggression leads to massive destruction and brutal occupation of the country,” Raad stressed.
The resistance group, he said, is laying foundations that will be useful in future stages. “One must get prepared to weather any potential act of aggression from the Israeli enemy.”
