**Hezbollah Launches Attacks on Haifa and Khiyam**
The Al-Mayadeen television network has reported that the Lebanese resistance group, Hezbollah, has engaged in confrontations with Israeli occupation forces in southern regions of Lebanon, particularly in the border villages, including Khiyam.
The resistance group launched a concentrated missile and drone assault on Israeli military gatherings, targeting various settlements and bases in Haifa, Acre, and the occupied Golan Heights.
According to reports from resistance media, the group launched a series of attacks on the eastern outskirts of Khiyam, directing rocket salvos and deploying suicide drones at gatherings of occupation forces. These assaults, which occurred eight times, spanned from the early hours of Friday morning until the evening.
Media outlets have reported that rocket strikes have been confirmed at a factory located in Kiryat Ata, situated to the north of Haifa.

A majority of individuals have perished in the last month as a result of escalating airstrikes and an aggressive ground offensive.
Hezbollah has mounted a staunch resistance against what it perceives as aggression by the Israeli regime towards Lebanon.
