The attacks included 13 strikes targeting concentrations of Israeli troops and vehicles in Eastern Zoutar, particularly near the water reservoir and riverbed area, as well as in the towns of Rshaf, Aadshit al-Qusayr and Shamaa, in addition to the Branit barracks, using rocket barrages, artillery shells and suicide drones.

The group also said it targeted seven Merkava tanks, four Nimera armoured vehicles, two Humvees, a communications vehicle and a D9 military bulldozer in the towns of Eastern Zoutar, Rshaf and Bint Jbeil.

Regarding attacks on military positions, the group said it twice targeted an Israeli artillery position in the town of Adaisseh, tents used by tank crews at Jall al-Hammar in the same town, an Iron Dome platform and power generator at the Branit barracks, as well as communications equipment at the al-Assi position opposite the town of Mays al-Jabal.
