The "Islamic Resistance" issued the following statement: "In support of our steadfast Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and in solidarity with their brave and honorable resistance, the fighters of the Islamic Resistance targeted the Hadab Yareen site with Burkan missiles at 12:20 AM on Sunday - Monday, January 29, 2024, and hit it directly." The Islamic Resistance released a second statement stating: "In support of our steadfast Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and in solidarity with their brave and honorable resistance, the fighters of the Islamic Resistance targeted the Barakah Risha site with Burkan missiles at 12:20 AM on Sunday - Monday, January 29, 2024, and hit it directly."

In related news, the "National Agency" reported that the southern front, especially the western and central sectors, erupted last night as the Israeli artillery shelled the areas surrounding the towns of Naqoura, Yareen, Alimashah, Dahira, Aita al-Shaab, Shihine, Wadi Yater, and Beit Lif with heavy artillery shells. At midnight, the shelling escalated, targeting the town of Dahira, which experienced an airstrike on several houses in the town's center, resulting in significant damage to homes as well as to water and electricity networks, with one woman sustaining minor injuries.

Additionally, the Israeli army fired several shells around the destroyed homes in Dahira while civil defense medics were searching through the rubble for potential injuries. The civil defense, affiliated with the Islamic Scout Association, transported several cases of difficulty breathing and choking from the towns of Marouhin and Dahira due to phosphorus gas inhalation from the hostile bombardment. Around one o'clock after midnight, shelling targeted the outskirts of the towns of Al-Bustan, Um al-Tut, and Yareen.

Until morning, reconnaissance aircraft flew over villages in the western and central sectors and the outskirts of the city of Tyre, with the Israeli army dropping flares over these areas all night, reaching as far as Marun al-Ras and the city of Bint Jbeil. As the cold waves intensify, the situation for displaced persons in the Tyre area and villages subjected to daily Israeli bombardment has worsened due to a lack of aid.

The military media of Hezbollah released a video last night showing footage of the Islamic Resistance targeting Israeli military intelligence equipment at the Ras al-Naqoura maritime site with a guided missile. Hezbollah mourned the loss of three of its martyrs: "Sadiq Muhammad Hashim, Ali Jamal Shakir, and Hussein Hassan Halawi."
