AiBotBEIRUT, LEBANON – In a strongly-worded statement issued on Sunday, the Islamic Resistance confirmed that it launched a rocket barrage against the Israeli settlement of Nahariya in an act of self-defense against repeated Israeli attacks on Lebanese villages in the South.
According to the statement, the rocket attack occurred at 7:15 PM on Sunday, April 12, 2026, and marks a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict between the Resistance and Israeli forces. The statement emphasizes that the Resistance has thus far adhered to the ceasefire agreement in place, while Israeli forces have consistently disregarded it, subjecting Lebanese civilians to repeated attacks.
“We will continue to respond with force until the Israeli-American aggression against our country and our people ceases,” said the Islamic Resistance in a statement. This assertion underscores the organization’s stance that it will not remain passive in the face of ongoing Israeli aggression and will continue to defend Lebanon against attacks.
Israel’s decision to disregard the ceasefire agreement has led to widespread civilian casualties and destruction of property in Lebanese villages in the South. The international community has called for restraint from all parties involved, emphasizing the need for a resolution to the conflict through peaceful means.
However, the Islamic Resistance views the situation as a clear case of self-defense, where its actions are deemed necessary to counter Israeli aggression and protect its citizens from attack. As such, the Resistance maintains that its actions are justified and that it will continue to defend its country and its people against external threats.
The reaction from the international community to the Islamic Resistance’s latest actions remains uncertain, with diplomats struggling to balance condemnation of Israeli aggression with calls for restraint from militant groups. As tensions in the region continue to escalate, it remains to be seen how the international community will respond to the latest developments.
Meanwhile, the people of Lebanon continue to bear the brunt of the ongoing conflict, with many expressing concerns about the future of their country. As the situation remains fluid, one thing remains certain – the Islamic Resistance is committed to defending its country and its people, regardless of the challenges that lie ahead.
