On Wednesday evening, the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon’s operations room issued a field summary of the ground confrontations between Hezbollah fighters and Israeli occupation forces in southern Lebanon, at the border with occupied Palestine. It highlighted the achievements of Hezbollah’s missile force, air force, and air defense forces.
The operations room report confirmed the continued resistance to the Israeli aggression on Lebanon, inflicting heavy losses on the Israeli occupation forces in terms of personnel and equipment across the five axis of confrontation, extending from Lebanon’s border towns into occupied Palestine.
According to the Resistance’s assessment, Israeli losses include more than 70 dead and 600 injured among Israeli occupation officers and soldiers, along with the destruction of 28 Merkava tanks, 4 military bulldozers, an armored vehicle, and a troop carrier. Additionally, three Hermes 450 drones and one Hermes 900 drone were downed.
This tally does not include the losses sustained by the occupation forces at bases, military sites, and barracks in northern and deeper areas of occupied Palestine, as noted by the Islamic Resistance operations room in Lebanon.
Regarding ground confrontations, the operations room emphasized that Israeli occupation forces have been unable to fully control or occupy any village along the frontlines.
The report outlined recent ground confrontations, highlighting several failed attempts by Israeli forces to advance toward villages on the frontlines in an effort to capture and control them.
Hezbollah fighters have repelled these attempts at multiple fronts, including:
First axis: The 146th Division area of operations
This axis extends from Naqoura in the west to Marwahin in the east.
The Israeli aggressions along this axis were limited to attempts to infiltrate the southern neighborhoods of the villages of Marwahin, Dhayra, Yarin, and Alma al-Shaab, to plant explosives in homes, fearing Hezbollah fighters would use them.
Hezbollah fighters countered these attempts, targeting Israeli forces and their advancement paths at Ras Naqoura, Hanita, and the surroundings of Dhayra.
Second axis: The 36th Division area of operations
This axis stretches from Ramiyah in the west to Rmeish in the east (including Aita al-Shaab), and from Rmeish to Ayta al-Jabal in the east.
After last week’s fierce confrontations in the Aita al-Shaab-Al-Qawzah-Ramiyah triangle, where the occupation suffered heavy losses from Hezbollah’s fire, Israeli occupation forces have attempted in recent days to advance towards Abu Labban heights, east of Aita al-Shaab, to occupy and control the town.

IOF evacuation operations took hours due to Hezbollah’s repeated strikes.
Third axis: The 91st Division area of operations
This axis stretches from Blida in the south to Houla in the north.
Israeli occupation forces advanced through concealed routes towards the eastern neighborhoods of Mays al-Jabal, Muhaybib, and Blida, planting explosives in some homes and blowing them up.
Israeli occupation forces also attempted to advance into eastern neighborhoods of Houla but were met with fierce resistance from Hezbollah fighters.
Fourth axis: The 98th Division area of operations
This axis extends from Markaba in the south to the Lebanese-occupied village of Ghajar in the east.
Israeli occupation forces attempted to infiltrate Tayba from the south and east but were repelled by Hezbollah fighters with machine guns and missiles, causing significant casualties among the infiltrating force.
An Israeli support force attempting to evacuate IOF casualties was also repelled, suffering further losses.
Fifth axis: The 210th Division area of operations
This axis stretches from Ghajar village to the Shebaa Farms.
Israeli occupation forces have tried to advance in Kfar Shuba and Shebaa, attempting to seize defensive positions near the border. However, Hezbollah fighters have been targeting Israeli troops, fortifications, and military sites in this area with missile fire, inflicting significant losses.
Summary
Missile Force: Hezbollah’s operations room confirmed that the missile force continues to target Israeli troops, military sites, and barracks along the Lebanese-Palestinian border and within occupied northern Palestine. The strikes also reach deep into “Israel’s” strategic and military bases.
These operations are steadily increasing day by day, using various types of missiles, including precision missiles that were used for the first time.
Air Force: Similarly, Hezbollah’s air force continues to monitor and strike Israeli military bases from the Lebanese-Palestinian border into occupied Palestine, deploying drones, including advanced models used for the first time.
Air Defense Unit: Additionally, Hezbollah’s air defense units have been actively engaging Israeli reconnaissance and combat drones and aircraft over Lebanon, downing four drones.
