The Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah announced on Friday morning that its fighters had launched intense attacks on Israeli forces in southern Lebanon. According to a statement, the operations targeted Israeli troop concentrations and armored vehicles in several border towns, including Yohmor al-Shaqif, Rashaf, al-Qantara, and Khiam. The attacks involved heavy rocket barrages and squadrons of attack drones that repeatedly struck gatherings of Israeli soldiers and military hardware.
The historic area around Beaufort Castle saw some of the fiercest fighting, where Hezbollah fighters targeted Israeli command posts and troop clusters with successive waves of artillery shells, heavy rocket fire, and precision drone strikes. The resistance also reported the destruction of several Israeli Merkava tanks in the assaults.
Hezbollah stated that these operations are part of its steadfast support for the Palestinian people and a direct response to the Zionist regime's continued aggression and attempts to occupy Lebanese territory. The Islamic resistance has repeatedly vowed to defend Lebanon's sovereignty and push back against Israeli incursions until the occupation forces are expelled.
The latest strikes underscore the growing effectiveness of the Axis of Resistance in confronting the Tel Aviv regime on multiple fronts, delivering painful blows to the occupation army despite its superior weaponry and air power. According to Mehr News Agency, the report was sourced from Press TV.
