TEHRAN- Hezbollah continues its qualitative operations against the Israeli military on the Lebanese border area that have halted the occupation army’s attempts to infiltrate villages in southern Lebanon.
The resistance movement says it has inflicted significant and confirmed losses on Israeli special forces.
Despite censorship efforts to downplay the losses and paint a picture of victories back in Tel Aviv, a Hezbollah field commander has reported heavy casualties among the Israeli forces in the southern Lebanese border.
The commander said, “In recent days, since the Israeli occupation military announced its ground operation in southern Lebanon, we have counted over 25 officers and soldiers among the enemy's elite ranks killed, with more than 130 wounded. The enemy has admitted to some of these figures, but the coming days will reveal what they have concealed from their public.”
Among the operations Hezbollah announced on Sunday included:
Israeli occupation soldiers (IOF) attempted to infiltrate the direction of Khallat Shuaib in Blida village, but the “resistance fighters targeted them with artillery shells, forcing them to retreat and causing confirmed injuries.”
By noon time “the resistance fighters targeted a gathering of Israeli occupation soldiers in the settlement of Menara with a rocket barrage, hitting the target accurately.”
Five minutes later, Hezbollah “again targeted gatherings of Israeli soldiers in and around the settlement of Menara with a large rocket barrage, hitting the targets accurately.”
In another statement, Hezbollah announced that “as the enemy forces attempted to evacuate the wounded and dead soldiers in the settlement of Menara, the Islamic Resistance fighters struck them with a rocket barrage.”
Hezbollah also stated that its “fighters targeted a movement of occupation soldiers in Menara with a rocket barrage, achieving confirmed hits.”
The Lebanese resistance also announced that it launched an aerial attack with a swarm of explosive drones on the Samson base (a leadership preparation center and regional equipment unit), targeting the positions and accommodations of officers and soldiers, hitting the targets accurately.
Throughout Sunday, Hezbollah continued to target gatherings of Israeli soldiers in barracks, military sites, and settlements near the Lebanese border with artillery shells, rockets, and heavy machine guns, achieving direct hits, according to a field commander with the Lebanese resistance.
The movement’s rocket forces continued to strike various targets at different ranges deep within northern Israel with heavy rocket barrages.
Likewise, Hezbollah’s air force continued to target Israeli military bases and barracks in northern Israel with swarms of attack drones.
In response to Israeli attempts to infiltrate southern Lebanon, the Hezbollah field commander offered a detailed explanation to regional Arab news outlets.
The Lebanese resistance observed unusual movements of Israeli special forces around 10:20 p.m. on Friday night near the border marker No. 405 in the outskirts of the town of Adaisseh. The fighters made the necessary arrangements.
Around 10:45 p.m., an elite Israeli force infiltrated along a path toward the vicinity of the Adaisseh municipal building, reaching a pre-prepared ambush point by 11:00 p.m., according to the field commander.
Hezbollah fighters opened fire with light and medium machine guns on the infiltrating force, causing mines in the enemy's possession, intended to rig the municipal building, to explode. This resulted in the killing and wounding of about 15 soldiers, whose screams were clearly heard.
According to the Hezbollah commander, enemy rescue teams, under cover of fire from military helicopters, retrieved the dead and wounded from the site of the operation and withdrew toward Israel.
Around 1:50 a.m. on Saturday morning, another enemy force attempted to infiltrate via a different path toward the Adaisseh municipal building. Hezbollah fighters confronted them with machine guns and rocket fire. The clashes lasted over two hours, during which the occupation forces suffered additional casualties and were forced to retreat.
At 7:00 a.m. on Saturday morning, an enemy Merkava tank attempted to advance along a hidden path in the outskirts of the village of Maroun Al-Ras. Hezbollah fighters targeted it with a guided missile, destroying it and killing or wounding its crew.
As a result, Hezbollah says it has counted more than 25 Israeli officers and soldiers killed, and over 130 injured, since elite Israeli forces launched their ground operation against southern Lebanese villages.
