The Hezbollah-affiliated Lebanese Resistance Brigades (LRB) announced its first attack against the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) on July 12, effectively joining the fight in support of the Palestinian enclave of the Gaza Strip.
In a statement, the group said its fighters fired rockets at the site of Ruwaisat al-Qarn in the Israeli-occupied Lebanese Shebaa Farms.
The attack was carried out “in support of the steadfast Palestinian people in the face of the Zionist occupation and in defense of Lebanon and its people and on the eighteenth anniversary of the July War [of 2006],” the LRB noted.
On the same day, Hezbollah carried out five attacks against the IDF, one of which also targeted the Ruwaisat al-Qarn site. The group also mourned one of its fighters.
The LRB is a non-denominational Lebanese armed group that was established with help from Hezbollah in 1997 to counter Israel.
The group is composed of Shia and Sunni Muslims, Christians and Druze who subscribe to Lebanese nationalism and strong anti-Zionist beliefs. It is reportedly funded, trained, and armed by Hezbollah. The group’s manpower, composition, and strength are unclear.
Hezbollah and a number of its allies in Lebanon began launching near-daily attacks against the IDF in support of the Hamas Movement and other Palestinian armed factions in Gaza after the outbreak of the Israeli war on the Strip last October.
While this was the first time the LRB had launched an attack against the IDF, it had mourned a few of its fighters when the clashes on the Lebanese-Israeli border first broke out.
So far, the border clashes have resulted in 12 civilian deaths on the Israeli side, as well as the deaths of at least 17 IDF soldiers and reservists. On the Lebanese side, more than 500 people have been killed, including 348 fighters of Hezbollah and at least 90 civilians.

the arab world rises against the zionazi abomination as the rest of the anglozionazi empire of shit gets flushed globally. truly wonderful times as karma comes collecting its dues from the $atanic beast
yea and then the muslim shit will show us they are no different.
what a bull.
well, what were the mamluks like? they killed every man and boy, raped and enslaved every woman and child when they took a city from the crusaders. nothing like the classy and civilized sultan saliman, he was honorable. so it really depends on leadership, and since ours is utterly shit atm, we are not the ones to pick up stones to throw first.
arabs are to splintered and too many factions to accomplish anything meaningful. they hate each other almost as much as they hate israel.
you’re one festering moaner!
dey hate us for our free dumbs
but he is right. the whole area is riven with skulduggery and back stabbing. israel survives on the divisions within the middle east hence why she foments it. typical colonial power.
hezbollah talk too much this cocksuckers respond only when few dozen of them are blown up and then they just shoot at building and if they are lucky one zionist is dead hezbollah are cowards for not fight like houthi’s
neither side wants a real war
