In retaliation for “Israel’s” assassination of a top Hezbollah commander, the Lebanese group launched about 200 rockets and more than 20 drones in one hour today, Thursday from its areas of control.

Yesterday, Hezbollah announced that senior commander Mohammad Naama was martyred “on the way to Jerusalem” without specifying the details of the incident.

Fires broke out in many locations in the Galilee and the Golan heights, in addition to many settlers injured, after which the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) responded with an extensive wave of attack in southern Lebanon – according to the statement.

Rocket alarm sirens blared in the morning for more than one hour in the settlements of Kiryat Shmona and the Galilee panhandle.

Sirens were also activated in the Upper Galilee, in the Western Galilee, Katzrin, Nahariya, and Acre.

A source in Hezbollah told Al Jazeera: "The attacks are a continuation of the response to the assassination of Muhammad Naama Nasser. We launched more than 20 drones at many Israeli outposts in the Galilee, and more than 200 rockets at Israeli outposts in the Galilee and the Golan."

The source added that Hezbollah attacked “Israeli” bases of the 91st Division and the 7th Armored Brigade with rockets, and in addition claimed that a base was also attacked and two other outposts.
