The Israeli occupation forces are still unable to make a breakthrough in southern Lebanon as Khiam proves to be near-impossible to invade in light of Hezbollah's fierce resistance.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent in southern Lebanon reported the latest updates on Operation People of Might, stating that Hezbollah engaged with Israeli invading forces in nine points of confrontation over the past 24 hours.

Two of these points involved direct missile and machine gun battles from point-blank range in the areas surrounding Deir Mimas in the eastern sector and the outskirts of al-Bayyadah in the western sector.

Regarding Israeli losses, our correspondent reported that Hezbollah destroyed three Israeli tanks in the past 24 hours, targeting the eastern outskirts of al-Bayyadah, the western outskirts of Chama, and the area around the town of al-Jibbain. This brings the total number of Merkava tanks destroyed since the outset of the Israeli ground invasion of Lebanon to 54, along with their crews.

Hezbollah's fierce resistance preventing 'Israel' from capturing Khiam

Amid seven days of intense fighting, Hezbollah continues to thwart Israeli attempts to capture the southern Lebanese town of Khiam. The Resistance movement has maintained a strategy aimed at inflicting maximum losses on the Israeli occupation forces' 210th Division, consistent with its actions across other flashpoints.

Despite relentless Israeli airstrikes, artillery bombardments, and ground assaults since the start of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, Hezbollah has prevented Israeli forces from advancing into Khiam. This marks the second Israeli offensive against the town, with no signs of success thus far.

"بالإضافة إلى فشل الاحتلال الإسرائيلي في التصدي للصواريخ التي تُطلق من لبنان، هناك قدرة عالية على إدارة النيران لدى حزب الله"

Over the past 24 hours, Hezbollah targeted seven Israeli military positions east of Khiam, as well as a gathering in the al-Amrah area to the south. Additionally, five military positions were hit at the Deir Mimas-Kfar Kila triangle along the same axis.

The Israeli ground operation aims to push Hezbollah forces out of the region and destroy key infrastructure to prevent the launch of rockets from South Lebanon into northern occupied Palestine, according to our correspondent.

Hezbollah intensified its strikes on Israeli military positions, settlements

Rocket launches toward the North have been ongoing since morning, with nearly 100 rockets launched in recent hours, Israeli media confirmed, adding that Hezbollah has launched 60 rockets since this morning, intensively targeting the Metulla settlement, causing significant damage.

Commenting on this issue, the head of the Metulla settlement council described the situation as "a harsh morning."

In a related context, Prosper Azran, former mayor of Kiryat Shmona, sarcastically stated, "Today, rushing to fortified areas has become a popular and essential activity, a vital exercise mandated by the Home Front Command for both children and the elderly."

Azran further emphasized that Hezbollah has distributed its rockets and drones throughout northern "Israel", from Nahariya and Haifa to the central region of the entity.

Over the past 24 hours, the Resistance movement targeted four Israeli military sites in northern Palestinian settlements, including Hanita, al-Manara, al-Malikiya, and Biram.

In addition, Hezbollah launched attacks on five Israeli settlements—striking Kiryat Shmona twice, along with Avivim, Dishon, Eliat HaShachar, and Meron. The group also targeted the Shraga base and the command center of the Golani Brigade north of Akka, executing two separate operations.

In the latest escalation, Hezbollah targeted the occupied city of Safad with a rocket salvo over the past 24 hours. Additionally, the group launched a precise strike on the Mishmar HaCarmel site for air and missile defense, located south of Haifa in occupied Palestine.

Our correspondent speculated that Hezbollah may target Tel Aviv today, especially after Saturday's strike on Beirut.

Our correspondent emphasized that "Israel" has yet to achieve its goal of halting attacks on its strategic depth.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent in southern Lebanon confirmed that Hezbollah launched a targeted rocket salvo toward Netanya and northern Tel Aviv, prompting hundreds of thousands of Israeli settlers to seek shelter once again and bringing traffic to a standstill.

Military pressure on Lebanon could backfire on us: Israeli army reserve Major General Israel Ziv

Israeli Army reserve Major General Israel Ziv, former commander of the Operations Division, said "Israel" must give up something crucial in order to reach a ceasefire agreement with Lebanon.

He warned that "the ground expansion and military pressure could backfire on us and work against us if an agreement is not signed, and then we will find ourselves stuck in the Lebanese quagmire."

Israeli Channel 12 quoted Ziv as saying that "the most important thing is not that we are close to reaching a settlement in the north," rather, the main point of contention is imposing any such settlement through increasing military pressure, which has proved futile thus far.

He added, "There is a point that you cannot cross in the negotiations, and continuing military pressure at a certain stage normalizes this pressure, as the opposite party stands strong."

He also saw that there seems a possibility for the attacks carried out against Lebanon to backfire on "Israel" as what happened at the United Nations, referring to the ICC arrest warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant.
