Day 17 | Thursday, October 09, 2024

In response to Israeli aggression and in defense of Lebanon and its people, the Islamic Resistance carried out 13 military operations on Wednesday, October 9, 2024. Most of these operations targeted settlements, sites, barracks, and gatherings of Israeli forces near the Lebanese-Palestinian border, using rockets and artillery shells.

In terms of ground confrontations, the mujahideen carried out a series of qualitative operations against Israeli forces. They detonated an explosive device and launched a rocket barrage at a force that attempted to infiltrate the town of Blida, resulting in confirmed casualties. They also targeted several attempts by enemy forces to advance towards the areas of Lubouneh and Mais al-Jabal with artillery shells and guided missiles, resulting in casualties and the retreat of those forces.

At Ras al-Naqoura, the mujahideen foiled two infiltration attempts towards the Mushairfeh area with a rocket barrage and a precision drone strike, hitting their targets with precision. Additionally, the mujahideen targeted enemy gatherings in southern Maroun al-Ras, Kroom al-Marrah in Mais al-Jabal, and the heights of Qalaa in Blida, scoring direct hits.

Meanwhile, the rocket force in the Islamic Resistance targeted several military bases, settlements, and cities in northern occupied Palestine, from the outskirts of Haifa in the west to Safed in the east, and the settlements of the Galilee Panhandle.

The Israeli enemy acknowledged that 38 soldiers were injured in clashes with Hezbollah, with three of them in critical condition. Israeli media reported that after three weeks of fierce fighting against Hezbollah, the organization is still considered a significant military force. According to Hebrew media, Hezbollah launched about 160 rockets towards Kiryat Shmona, Safed, and the Krayot, resulting in the death of two settlers in Kiryat Shmona and a large fire in the area. The mayor of Kiryat Shmona called on the remaining residents to leave the settlement.

An investigation conducted by the 98th Division after a battle involving units affiliated with it revealed that Hezbollah elements possess high-lethal ammunition capable of penetrating ceramic armor.

During this day, air raid sirens sounded 25 times in various areas of northern occupied Palestine, from the city of Haifa and the Krayot in the west to Safed and its surroundings in the east, and most of the settlements in the Galilee Panhandle.
