Hezbollah Heroically Repels Israeli Advance Attempts, Keeps Up Cross-Border Fire

Hezbollah fighters are heroically thwarting Israeli infiltration attempts across the border with occupied Palestine, as the Lebanese resistance group keeps up the launch of rockets targeting Israeli sites and bases.

Hezbollah Military Media released on Saturday several statement clarifying the operations of the Islamic Resistance fighters. The fighters valiantly foiled Israeli advance attempts at Adaisseh border town, as they struck Israeli gatherings stationed in the border Israeli settlements and fired salvos of rockets targeting Israeli sites in Safed, Karmiel and the Ramat David Airbase.

Meanwhile, a Hezbollah officer who overlooks the battles in south Lebanon from the Islamic Resistance’s Operations Chamber said the resistance fighters are engaging in face-to-face battles with the Israeli elite forces, stressing that the Mujahideen (fighters) are chasing the enemy troops along the frontlines and inside the occupied territories of Palestine with artillery shells and rockets.

In a statement released by Hezbollah Military Media early on Saturday, the resistance officer revealed the truth about the photos released by the enemy army on Friday showing houses in a Lebanese border town being allegedly seized by the Zionist troops.

“The photos were taken in an area that is just tens of meters away from the occupied territories, and as everyone knows, some Lebanese citizens in south Lebanon had built their homes near the border with occupied Palestine,” the officer said in the statement.

“In order to obtain these photos, which embattled (Israeli PM Benjamin) Netanyahu desperately needs, the price was more than 20 Israeli casualties among the elite soldiers,” he said, noting that the Israeli military censor barred the incident from publication in a bid to cover the Israeli losses.

The Hezbollah officer said that the Israeli forces tried afternoon on Friday to advance towards the Lebanese territories through the axes of Maroun Al-Ras and Yaroun, adding that the enemy troops were ambushed by explosive devices that were previously planted.

“With the call of “Labbaika Ya Nasrallah” (at your service O Nasrallah), the Islamic Resistance fighters detonated a number of explosive devices, some were planted just a day earlier,” he said.

He said that light and medium weapons as well as missile weapons were employed during the face-to-face clashes between the resistance fighters and the Israeli enemy troops.
