Hezbollah Launches Sweeping Attack on Israeli Forces in Border Towns

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon – Hezbollah has been engaging Israeli occupation forces non-stop in the past few days, announcing a collection of military operations throughout Sunday. 

In continuation of their defense against the Israeli occupation incursions into the border area of Lebanon, Hezbollah fighters engaged Israeli occupation forces in close-quarters battles, attacked their positions with rockets and artillery weapons, and destroyed several armored vehicles, during a period extending from Sunday morning to Sunday afternoon. 

At least 27 Israeli troops were injured in confrontations with Hezbollah Resistance fighters so far on Sunday, Israeli broadcaster Channel 12 reported. The Israeli military censor has worked on concealing the number of casualties, however, has admitted that the military transferred at least six injured soldiers, via a helicopter, to the Rambam Hospital in occupied Haifa. 

According to our correspondent in southern Lebanon, at least 30 Israeli military casualties were recorded near the border villages of Aita al-Shaab, Ramyah, and Qaouzah.

Western Axis operations

During an Israeli infantry infiltration attempt into the town of Qaouzah, Hezbollah fighters discovered the force and confronted it with automatic weapons at 1:15 pm (local time). Two hours later, Hezbollah’s anti-armor units fired an anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) at an Israeli tank. The ATGM directly impacted the tank, putting it up in flames and killing and injuring its crewmembers on the same axis. 

In the nearby town of Aita al-Shaab, a Hezbollah infantry unit launched an offensive on Israeli occupation forces that had positioned themselves in the western neighborhood of the town. Fierce clashes occurred in the area, which saw Hezbollah fighters fire automatic weapons, unspecified rocket weapons, and artillery shells at the invading force, since 4:45 pm. 

A statement released by the Resistance, at 5:29 pm, explained that confrontations were ongoing. 

Hezbollah fighters also fired rocket artillery shells at Israeli occupation forces in the Zar’it barracks, the Shomera barracks, and Khilat Warde, all located in the vicinity of ongoing confrontations on the Western Axis. 

Eastern Axis operations

On the Eastern Axis, which extends from Blida to Israeli-occupied Lebanese territories, including the Kfar Chouba Hills and the Shebaa Farms, Hezbollah fighters also engaged Israeli occupation forces in close-quarters battles. 

Hezbollah fighters also fired artillery shells at Israeli occupation troops in the same area, at 3:20 pm. 

At 10:00 am, Hezbollah fighters discovered and engaged an Israeli infantry force in the Kanaan Hills, in Blida, killing and injuring multiple Israeli troops, who were shot from point-blank range by Resistance fighters. 

On the far end of the Israeli-occupied Lebanese territories, near the Shebaa Farms, Hezbollah fighters fired a salvo of rockets at the Habousheet military site. 

The city settlement of Kiryat Shmona also came under a rocket attack at 1:50 pm. 

Long-range rocket attacks

Hezbollah’s fighters also added another rocket attack to a series of attacks, dubbed the “Khaibar Operations.”

These long-range attacks come in response to Israeli crimes and massacres against civilians in Lebanon, seven of which have been announced since October 1, 2024.

On Sunday, at 9:30 am, Hezbollah fighters launched what it described as a salvo of “top-tier” rockets at the Israeli Teirat al-Karmel military base in southern occupied Haifa.

In response to Israeli strikes on Lebanese towns and residents of the country, Hezbollah also launched a large barrage of rocket artillery shells at the Tzurit military base, located to the east of Karmiel.
