STORYLINE:

Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said on Saturday that the Iran-backed armed group would continue to pressure Israel from southern Lebanon by conducting military operations.

In a televised speech to commemorate Martyr's Day, which falls on Saturday, Nasrallah said Hezbollah had been carrying out military operations since Oct. 8, a day after Hamas launched a surprise attack on southern Israel that triggered Israeli retaliatory strikes, despite Israel's threats, the majority of which came from drones.

The armed group has ramped up operations against Israel, deploying Burkan missiles since last week and sending reconnaissance drones on a daily basis, some of which reached as far as the Israeli city of Haifa, said Nasrallah.

He also slammed the U.S. for supporting the Israeli attacks on Gaza.

Meanwhile, Israel on Saturday advanced attacks into Lebanese areas 20 km deep from the border, killing a member of the Hezbollah-allied Amal Movement in an artillery strike.

Three other members of the movement were injured in the strike that destroyed 18 houses and set several fires in southern villages, sources from the Lebanese Internal Security Forces told Xinhua.

The killing raises the number of casualties on the Lebanese side to 96 people, including 75 members of Hezbollah, 10 members of Amal Movement, Hamas, and Islamic Jihad in Lebanon, and 11 civilians, including a photojournalist.

The Lebanon-Israel border witnessed increased tension for five weeks after Hezbollah fired dozens of rockets toward Shebaa Farms on Oct. 8 in support of the Hamas attacks on Israel the previous day, prompting the Israeli forces to respond by firing heavy artillery toward several areas in southeastern Lebanon.
