The Operations Chamber of the Islamic Resistance issued on Friday a statement which highlighted the Israeli failure to achieve any progress in the ground offensive it has launched against Lebanon, warning the Israeli to stay away from the army bases in order to keep safe.
“In light of the resounding failure and heroic resistance that the Israeli enemy army has been facing in its attempts to advance towards the eastern sector of the southern villages bordering occupied Palestine, it tried in the past two days to create new axes of advance in the western sector from the direction of the Ras al-Naqoura and Jal al-Alam sites towards Al-Mushayrifah and Al-Labouneh, trying to take advantage of the terrain that it believes will help it. Before attempting to advance on the new axes, the Israeli Air Force launched dozens of raids in conjunction with violent artillery shelling from the land and sea on the towns of Al-Dhahirah, Alma Al-Shaab and Al-Naqoura.”
The statement detailed how the Resistance fighters four Israeli attempts to advance:
– On Tuesday at dawn, an Israeli military force tried to advance from Ras Al-Naqoura towards the border area of Al-Labouneh with the aim of reaching the UNIFIL forces site in Al-Labouneh and positioning themselves there, but the Islamic Resistance fighters confronted them with appropriate weapons and forced them to retreat.
– On Wednesday, the Israeli enemy’s army attempted thrice to advance towards Labouneh, but the Mujahideen confronted it in each attempt with rocket weapons, artillery shells and guided missiles, forcing it to retreat and inflicting heavy losses upon its soldiers.
– On Wednesday, the Resistance fighters monitored an infiltration attempt by an Israeli enemy force from Ras Al-Naqoura towards the Al-Mushairfeh area, so they targeted it with an assault glider that exploded among the infiltrating force, killing and wounding most of its members.
– On Thursday, a group of Israeli enemy soldiers, accompanied and protected by a Merkava tank, attempted to advance towards the Labouneh area from Ras al-Naqoura, and as soon as the tank was within range of fire, the Resistance fighters targeted it with a guided missile that hit it directly, resulting in its destruction, incineration, the killing of its crew and the injury of the soldiers taking cover behind it.
The enemy failed in four attempts, over a period of hours, to advance to withdraw the casualties, as the Mujahideen confronted it each time with appropriate weapons and forced it to withdraw, the statement affirmed.
“In conjunction with the heroic confrontations that the Islamic Resistance fighters are engaging in with the officers and soldiers of the Israeli enemy, the fire support groups continue to target the gatherings, positions and support lines of the Israeli enemy army in the military sites and barracks along the frontline and inside the border settlements in the occupied territories and achieve confirmed hits.”
The missile force and air force of the Islamic Resistance also continue to target military bases and settlements deep in the north of occupied Palestine, in a way that is gradually increasing day after day, according to the statement.
Yhe statement underlined all the above-mentioned military operations of the Islamic Resistance were carried out with high, complete and instant coordination between the leadership of the Islamic Resistance and the operations chamber, reaching the brothers stationed on the front lines of confrontation.
“It is worth noting that the Israeli enemy army, days after announcing the start of what it called the ground maneuver in southern Lebanon, does not dare to show its tanks and military vehicles to the Lebanese side for fear of being targeted, rather it hides them in places where they are, nevertheless, targeted with missiles and artillery shells and suffer heavy losses.”
The statement added that the Israeli enemy has failed, until the time of preparing this statement, to control any of the overlooking hills it is trying to advance to, and is content with reaching some houses on the outskirts of some border villages with the aim of taking pictures and organizing media visits.
“The Israeli enemy army uses the homes of settlers in some settlements in north of occupied Palestine as gathering positions for its officers and soldiers, and its military bases that manage the aggression against Lebanon are also located inside settlement neighborhoods in major occupied cities such as Haifa, Tiberias, Acre, and others.”
These homes and military bases are targets for the missile and air force of the Islamic Resistance, and accordingly we warn the settlers against being present near those military gatherings in order to preserve their lives until further notice.
The Islamic Resistance is committed to its covenant and promise to its supreme and most holy martyr, His Eminence the Secretary-General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah (may his holy secret be sanctified), that the settlements in northern occupied Palestine will remain free of settlers until the war on Gaza and Lebanon stops.
Sirens across the north of occupied Palestine were continuously heard on Friday. Hezbollah attacks on the Zionist military sites, settlements and cities did not stop throughout the day. Border confrontations also manifested the Resistance power in face of the monstrous enemy.
