Escalations by the day
Amid the intense confrontations between Hezbollah and Israeli occupation officers and soldiers, the support front continues to target Israeli occupation army gatherings, positions, and supply lines at military sites and bases along the front lines and within border settlements in the occupied territories, achieving confirmed hits, as reported.
The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon’s Operations Room highlighted that both the missile and air forces of Hezbollah are persistently targeting Israeli occupation military bases and settlements deep in northern occupied Palestine, describing this effort as “a gradual escalation, day by day.”
They further noted that all of these military operations by the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon have been conducted “with high-level, real-time coordination between the leadership of the Islamic Resistance and the operations room, extending to the brothers stationed on the front lines.”
Additionally, the Operations Room stressed that “days after announcing the start of its so-called land maneuver in southern Lebanon, [Israel] cannot show its tanks and military vehicles to the Lebanese side, for fear of their being targeted, and places them in unexposed places,” adding that these vehicles have nevertheless been targeted by missiles and artillery shells, inflicting heavy losses.
The statement also confirmed that, as of the time of its release, the Israeli occupation forces had “failed to secure control over any of the strategic hills they aimed to capture.” Instead, they have only managed to reach a few homes on the outskirts of some border villages, primarily for photo ops and media stunts.
