ALBAWABA- In a dramatic escalation, Hezbollah has launched a series of coordinated attacks against Israeli positions in direct response to the recent assassination of Radhi Mussavi. 

The group reported successful hits on Israeli artillery positions in Khirbet Maar, targeting them with precision weaponry. 

Additionally, Hezbollah claimed direct hits on Israeli soldiers near the Mitat Barracks and a gathering at the Honin barracks, employing appropriate weapons for maximum impact.

Ramim barracks became the latest focus of the group's offensive, facing accurate strikes with effective weaponry. 

The situation further intensified as sirens blared in Goren, Western Galilee, signaling heightened tension along the Lebanon-Israel border. Despite the alert, no missiles were launched from south Lebanon towards Kiryat Shmona in the Upper Galilee.

Israeli retaliation included artillery shelling near the towns of Rashaya Al-Fakhar and Al-Khiam in southern Lebanon.
