An Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah officer speaking to Al Mayadeen
Lebanese Resistance fighters are mobilized in two areas on the southern front, as well as in the Golan area and al-Jalil area, an Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah officer revealed to Al Mayadeen in an interview that aired Friday.
The mobilization of the Islamic Resistance was for operational purposes, the officer said under the condition of anonymity, noting that it remained on high alert to confront any Israeli acts of aggression.
The highest achievement realized by the Resistance was drawing such a large number of Israeli forces from the internal and southern fronts to the northern front, "which lessened the pressure on our brothers in Gaza: at the beginning of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood and up until this very day."
He underlined that while the Resistance in Lebanon entered the battle on October 8, the very next day after al-Aqsa Flood started, the Israeli occupation forces were mobilized and on high alert on the northern front.
'Israel' blinded
Another pivotal achievement made by the Lebanese Resistance was blinding the Israeli occupation and preventing it from seeping into the Lebanese side of the front, the officer said, referencing the operations carried out against the Israeli occupation's reconnaissance and monitoring sites on the border.
"Israel" was "blinded" through two different phases: The first one was by targeting intelligence, reconnaissance, and monitoring posts aimed at the "front edge", while the other was by targeting the main sites in charge of operations on the Lebanese and regional levels.
The most important of these sites are the Jal al-Alam site in the western sector and the al-Abbad site in the eastern sector, both of which undertake very significant intelligence missions, "greater than their own geographic area."
"The Israelis bolstered the front with unit 146, intelligence agencies, air defenses, and increased firepower," the Islamic Resistance officer revealed.
He explained that operations kicked off in the Shebaa Farms area and expanded to include every site in a 100km radius.
"This achievement is keeping the enemy occupied on the front," he said. "Also destroying the enemy's material and manpower capabilities mobilized on the sites and points throughout the entire front."
Israeli capabilities in shambles
The most major attacks carried out by the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon were targeting the Merkava tanks, wherein damages were inflicted on many of them as they were taken out of service using guided missiles.
He also addressed how the Resistance destroyed large parts of the Israeli occupation's military sites near the border with Lebanon by targeting them directly and launching artillery strikes at them and high-payload rockets and missiles, which forced "Israel" to mobilize outside of their conventional military sites and abandon some of them in order to avoid being struck.
The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon, he noted, launched salvoes of rockets toward the occupied Palestinian territories and managed to disable the Iron Dome in several locations, especially during the latest attacks on "Kiryat Shmona" and the posts in the Golan, Zaoura, and al-Asal valley in Shebaa.
Another utmost and critical achievement was drawing up new equations, such as when the Resistance responded to the Israeli occupation's aggression on Iqlim al-Teffah, as it expanded its range of fire and targeted the artillery positions of the enemy.
"The equipment, capabilities, manpower, and preparedness stocked up by the Resistance since 2006 will explode in the face of the enemy, who has seen very little thus far," he said.
Finally, the Hezbollah officer hailed the Palestinian Resistance, congratulating al-Qassam Brigades for the new achievements it accomplished in light of Operation al-Aqsa Flood in the face of the Gaza Division of the Israeli occupation forces.
Hezbollah putting 'Israel' through wringer
Just earlier today, an Al Mayadeen correspondent reported that an Israeli military target in the occupied Hounin Valley was shelled with guided missiles.
The Israeli al-Jardah point was also directly attacked, as well as the sites of Hadab al-Bustan and Birkat Risha.
The Al Mayadeen correspondent added that sirens sounded in the "Shtula" area and the "Zar'it" Israeli barracks in occupied Palestine.
The Israeli occupation forces fired phosphorus shells on the outskirts of the town of Markaba, near a point belonging to the Lebanese Army, in the aftermath of the attacks.
The Israeli occupation also bombed the outskirts of the villages of Al-Jabin, Yarin, Houla, Mais al-Jabal, Umm al-Tut, and Marouhin.
The Resistance on Thursday announced targeting an Israeli infantry force in the occupied Lebanese town of Tarbikha "in support of our Palestinian people and in support of their resistance," adding that its fighters targeted the Israeli infantry force with rocket weapons and achieved direct hits.
The Islamic Resistance also confirmed its fighters targeted two Israeli Merkava tanks in the "Metulla" Israeli base using guided missiles, confirming that the tanks' crews were either killed or wounded in the process.
In the same context, heavily armed confrontations, which lasted for over 30 minutes, erupted on Thursday evening between Islamic Resistance fighters from Lebanon and Israeli occupation forces stationed in the "Misgav Am" military base, Al Mayadeen's correspondent in southern Lebanon reported.
Commenting on the events, Israeli media said Hezbollah's operations today are more intense than the past few days, noting that as per the latest estimates, the Islamic Resistance launched a total of eight anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs) today, in addition to heavy use of machineguns in the operations.
