TEHRAN, Apr. 22 (MNA) – Hezbollah announced on Sunday night that it had successfully downed an Israeli drone over the al-Aishiya area in southern Lebanon at 10:50 pm.

It also targeted two buildings utilized by occupation soldiers in the settlement of "Metulla," achieving a direct hit with suitable weaponry, in retaliation to the recent Israeli attacks on southern villages and civilians, notably the town of Kfar Kila. 

The Resistance confirmed that these two operations came in support of the steadfast Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and their resistance, Al Mayadeen reported.

In parallel, Israeli attacks on southern Lebanese villages continued, as hostile artillery shelling targeted the outskirts of the town of al-Khiam.

The Lebanese Resistance movement has been conducting regular attacks since early October against the Israeli regime’s military position in retaliation for the occupying regime’s offensives against Gaza and southern Lebanon.

Israel waged its brutal war on besieged Gaza on October 7 after Hamas carried out an unprecedented operation against the occupying entity in retaliation for its intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.

Israel has imposed a complete siege on the densely populated territory, cutting off fuel, electricity, food, and water to the more than two million Palestinians living there.
