— 🇮🇱/ 🇱🇧 BREAKING: Smoke is seen rising from an industrial power plant in the Tel Aviv area; it seems Hezbollah has started to target Israeli critical infrastructure

@Middle_East_Spectator

— 🇱🇧 Statement issued by Hezbollah's Operations Room (part 1):

– After the resounding failures and heroic resistance that the Israeli enemy army faced in the Eastern Sector, it has been trying in the past two days to advance in the Western Sector from the direction of Ras al-Naqoura and Jal al-Alam towards Mushairfeh and Labbouneh, trying to take advantage of the terrain that Israeli believes is more in its favour.

– Before attempting to advance on the new axes, the Israeli Air Force launched dozens of airstrikes together with violent artillery shelling from land and sea on the towns of al-Dhuhayrah, Alma al-Shaab, and al-Naqoura.

– At dawn on Tuesday, a force from the Israeli enemy attempted to advance from Ras al-Naqoura towards the border area of ​​Labbouneh with the aim of reaching the UNIFIL forces base in Labbouneh and positioning themselves there, but the fighters of the Islamic Resistance confronted them with appropriate weapons and forced them to retreat.

– On Wednesday, the Israeli enemy resumed its advance towards Labbouneh through three repeated attempts, but the Mujahideen confronted it in each attempt with rockets, artillery, and guided anti/tank missiles, forcing it to retreat, inflicting heavy losses among its soldiers.

– On Wednesday, the fighters of the Islamic Resistance monitored an infiltration attempt by an Israeli enemy force from Ras al-Naqoura towards the al-Mushairfeh area, so they targeted it with a suicide drone that exploded among the infiltrating force, killing and wounding most of its members.

– On Thursday, a group of Israeli soldiers, accompanied and protected by a Merkava tank, attempted to advance towards the Labbouneh area from Ras al-Naqoura, and as soon as the tank was within range of fire, the fighters of the Islamic Resistance targeted it with a guided anti-tank missile that hit it directly, resulting in its destruction, ignition, the killing of its crew and the injury of the soldiers taking cover behind it.

– The enemy failed in four seperate 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 time after time.

– Hezbollah's fire support groups continue to target the gatherings, positions and logistical lines of the Israeli army in the military sites and barracks along the entire frontline and inside the border settlements.

– The missile force and drone force of the Islamic Resistance also continue to target military bases and settlements deep inside the occupied North, gradually increasing day by day.

– There is a complete and instant coordination between the leadership of the Islamic Resistance and the operations room, reaching the brothers stationed on the front lines.

– More than a week after announcing the start of what it calls the ground maneuver in southern Lebanon, the IDF still cannot expose its tanks and military vehicles on the Lebanese side for fear of being targeted, and positions them in concealed places, and despite that, they are targeted with missiles and artillery shells and suffer heavy losses.

– The Israeli enemy has failed, until the time of this statement, to control any of the strategic hills it is trying to advance to, and is satisfied with reaching some houses on the outskirts of some border villages with the aim of taking a few pictures and organizing media visits.

– The Israeli army uses the homes of settlers in settlements in northern occupied Palestine as gathering centers 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 Hezbollah, and accordingly we warn the settlers from being near these military gatherings in order to preserve their lives.

— 🇱🇧 Statement by Hezbollah's
Operations Room (part 2):

– The Islamic Resistance reiterates its committed to its covenant and promise to its highest martyr, Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, that the settlements in northern Israel will remain free of settlers until the war on Gaza and Lebanon stops (i.e. Hezbollah will continue fighting unless there is a ceasefire in Gaza.)
