— 🇱🇧 Hezbollah Operations Room Statement (summarized):

– After resounding failures in the Eastern sector, the IDF has been trying for the past two days to advance in Lebanon's Western sector.

– The Israeli Air Force launched dozens of airstrikes together with violent artillery from land and sea in the Western sector.

– On Tuesday, the IDF tried to advance towards the UNIFIL base in Labbouneh, but they were forced to retreat.

– On Wesnesday, the IDF tried to advance towards Labbouneh three more times, but was forced to retreat each time, after taking heavy casualties.

– Hezbollah monitored an infiltration attempt towards Al-Mushairfeh, and struck the infiltrating force with an explosive drone, killing and wounding many Israeli soldiers.

– On Thursday, an Israeli force accompanied and protected by a Merkava tank attempted to advance towards Labbouneh, but Hezbollah destroyed the tank with an ATGM as soon as it entered the range of fire, killing its crew and injuring the accompanying infantry.

– Four seperate times, during a span of multiple hours, the IDF failed to evacuate its casualties from Labbouneh due to Hezbollah mounting repeated attacks against them.

– Hezbollah's fire support groups continue to target Israeli gatherings, positions and supply lines along the entire front.

– The missile and drone force continue to target military bases and cities inside Israel.

– There is complete and instant communication between Hezbollah's leadership and the operations room which oversees the battles on the front.

– After more than a week, the IDF still cannot expose its tanks inside Lebanon, due to continued targeting, so it positions them in concealed places only.

– The Israeli enemy, until now, has not managed to control any of the strategic hills it is trying to capture.

– Israel has only captured some houses on the outskirts of border villages and is taking some photos for the media.

– We warn all Israelis to stay away from military positions and military gathering sites in cities and settlements across the North.

– Hezbollah will not agree to a ceasefire, and will not allow Israeli settlers to return to the occupied North, unless Israel agrees to a permanent ceasefire in Gaza.
