According to Hezbollah's statements published on the Al-Ilam Al-Harbi media outlet, Hezbollah fighters targeted several Israeli army troop and equipment gatherings in the areas of Balat, Kafr Benit, Majdal Zone, Marun Al-Ras, Jadidah Mays Al-Jabal, and other operational axes using rockets, suicide drones, and artillery fire.
Hezbollah also announced an ambush against Israeli infantry forces on the Arnon-Al-Zafata axis toward the Al-Ma'bar area on the outskirts of the town of Kafr Benit. The statement stated that after entering the prepared area, Israeli forces encountered the explosion of planted bombs and light and semi-heavy weapons fire, and then came under Hezbollah artillery fire; an ambush that led to the retreat of these forces.
According to Hezbollah's announcements, several Israeli military vehicles, including Yaghi, Nimra and Humvee armored vehicles, were also targeted by Ababil suicide drones in the areas of Zutar al-Sharqiya, al-Qantara and Tepe al-Hamams in southern al-Khayyam. Hezbollah stressed that direct hits were recorded in a number of these attacks.
The resistance movement also reported the targeting of a newly established Israeli artillery position around the town of al-Udayseh, a command center around Yahmar al-Shaqif and a force stationed in a building in the town of al-Khayyam, and announced that all of these targets were attacked by FPV suicide drones.
Hezbollah further reported a direct clash with a group of Israeli occupation soldiers who had entered the town of Majdal al-Zun. According to the statement, resistance fighters engaged the force with light, semi-heavy weapons and rocket launchers and destroyed several of its vehicles. Hezbollah emphasized that the vehicles that were targeted were still on fire when the statement was issued.
In another part of the report, Hezbollah announced that it had targeted an Israeli Hermes 450 drone in the sky of the Al-Tuffah region with a surface-to-air missile and forced it to retreat.
Emphasizing the continuation of defending Lebanon and its people, the Lebanese Islamic Resistance announced that it would continue its operations against what it called “Israeli aggressions and crimes,†and considered these measures part of an effort to prevent Israel from achieving its goals in Lebanon.
“Active Defense†Doctrine
The Lebanese Islamic Resistance has relied on the “active and offensive defense†doctrine in its operations and attacks; An approach that is not limited to repelling attacks, but also targets the enemy's tactical depth.
In its operations, the resistance combines artillery and missile fire with the effective use of drones to hunt down armored vehicles, while simultaneously employing the tactic of ambushes combined with staged arson, a tactic that neutralizes the enemy's technological superiority.
The resistance also enjoys a significant information advantage, which is reflected in the observation of the nightly movements of Israeli forces before the start of their operations. This has allowed for the precise design of ambush areas and the integrated management of the entire battlefront, a matter that has taken the initiative away from Israel and put it in a state of constant attrition.
