Al Mayadeen’s correspondent in southern Lebanon confirmed on Sunday evening that the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon – Hezbollah forced an Israeli force to withdraw towards occupied Palestine and out of Lebanese territory as they tried to infiltrate the border town of Yaroun.
Loud sounds of confrontations, interspersed with explosions, were heard in the neighboring villages, an Al Mayadeen correspondent added.
Our correspondent stated that Yaroun, which has been targeted by the Israeli occupation with bombardment for about a year, represents a “geographical and military weak point for the occupation,” explaining that the latter carries out ground attacks in the town, but is unable to establish positions within in.
The report from Al Mayadeen’s correspondent coincides with Hezbollah’s continued confrontation with the IOF on the frontlines, as it targeted, on Sunday, the gatherings of occupation soldiers in Khallet Shuaib, east of the town of Blida, with artillery shells.
Hezbollah had previously forced a force of Israeli soldiers to retreat when they tried to infiltrate Khallet Shuaib, causing confirmed casualties.
After reports of a “substantial security incident” in the al-Jalil Panhandle emerged early on Saturday, the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon – Hezbollah revealed that what had occurred was a major ambush near the Lebanese-Palestinian border.
Although the Israeli military censor has imposed strict restrictions on information in combat zones, Israeli media outlets reported heavy gunfire and the deployment of attack helicopters near the city settlement of Kiryat Shmona.
The developments were obscured due to the little information allowed to be published by the Israeli regime, however, statements released by the Resistance’s Military Media Unit revealed that fighters had been confronting Israeli ground forces deep into the night.

A field officer in the operations room of the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon, Hezbollah, revealed, in a statement published by the Military Media, that at approximately 10:20 pm on Friday, the freedom fighters of Hezbollah along the Odaisseh confrontation front monitored an unusual movement of Israeli occupation forces near border number 405 on the outskirts of the town of Odaisseh.
The statement further noted that around 10:45 pm, an elite IOF unit infiltrated through an advance path toward the vicinity of the Odaisseh municipality building.
By approximately 11:00 pm, according to the statement, the infiltrating occupation force reached a pre-prepared ambush point. With a call of “Labaika Ya Nasrallah [O Nasrallah],” the Resistance opened fire using light and medium machine guns at the infiltrating force, resulting in the explosion of mines in the IOF invading unit which had been intended to be used, by the Israeli occupation, to booby-trap the municipality building.
This engagement led to the death and injury of about 15 soldiers, and “their screams were clearly heard.”
Hostile rescue teams, shielded by fire from Israeli occupation military helicopters, worked to evacuate the dead and wounded back to the occupied territories.
Moreover, the statement noted that at about 01:50 am on Saturday, another hostile force attempted to infiltrate through a different route toward the Odaisseh municipality building. The Islamic Resistance, however, reportedly confronted them with machine guns and missiles, and the clashes lasted more than two hours, during which the Israeli occupation forces sustained losses and was forced to retreat.
At 07:00 am on Saturday morning, an Israeli occupation Merkava tank attempted to advance through a concealed back path toward the al-Bat hill on the outskirts of Maroun al-Ras, the field officer explained. The Resistance then targeted it with a guided missile, resulting in its destruction and the killing and wounding of its crew.
The Islamic Resistance’s fire support groups continue to target Israeli occupation soldiers in their barracks, military positions, and settlements near the Lebanese border with artillery shells, missiles, and heavy machine guns, achieving direct hits. Additionally, the missile force of the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon has continued to bombard various targets deep in northern occupied Palestine with heavy missile barrages.
