Avraham Levine, an analyst with Alma, an Israeli think-tank, warned Friday that Hezbollah remains a "serious threat" to the Israeli occupation forces despite claims of disruptions in the Resistance movement's leadership.

Speaking to Reuters, Levine stressed that Hezbollah is "well-prepared and waiting" for any Israeli military action, noting that they remain highly capable.

"The fact that the chain of command has been damaged does not take away the ability to shoot Israeli communities or try to hit Israeli forces," Levine said.

Moreover, he described Hezbollah as the very same Resistance army that the Israeli occupation and the remainder of the world have come to know. 

Israeli media indicated on Thursday that Hezbollah had neither been defeated nor broken following the recent assassinations against its members

This comes amid ongoing Israeli aggression across Lebanon, especially the country's southern and eastern regions, as well as Beirut's Southern Suburb, which has so far killed 2,169 people, with 10,212 others wounded, according to the latest statistics from the Lebanese Ministry of Health.

Meanwhile, Hezbollah's fighters continue to inflict heavy losses and casualties on Israeli troops attempting to infiltrate Lebanese towns from occupied Palestinian territories since "Israel" announced a "limited ground incursion" over a week ago, despite Israeli officials claiming that the group's capabilities have been reduced during this round of confrontation.

The media noted that two Israelis were killed by rocket fire from Lebanon toward Kiryat Shmona.

Yoav Limor, a military affairs commentator for the Israeli newspaper Israel Hayom, mentioned that Hezbollah has intensified its rocket attacks toward "Israel" over the past few days.

He pointed out that despite the interception of some rockets from Lebanon, Israeli defense systems were unable to intercept all of them, resulting in serious damage to the Israeli "home front" and its military.

In a related context, Israeli media reported that 22 Israeli soldiers were injured in 24 hours, 20 of them on the Lebanese border and two in the Gaza Strip.

The Ziv Medical Center in occupied Safad confirmed that it had received seven injured soldiers from battles with Hezbollah at the northern border with Lebanon.

Israeli media mentioned that four injuries were reported following the shelling that targeted the Karmiel area in Central al-Jalil, while an Israeli helicopter was directly hit in the Mays al-Jabal area while attempting to evacuate injuries, forcing Israeli ambulances to flee the scene of the incident.

Early Thursday morning, the Israeli occupation military admitted to the killing of one of its soldiers and the injury of another in ongoing battles at the Lebanese border.

The military announced that the soldier was from the 228th Brigade and that another soldier from the 5030th Battalion was seriously wounded in the same incident and was transferred to the hospital.

This brings the Israeli military's acknowledged death toll to 12 soldiers since the start of its announced ground incursion in southern Lebanon, although the Islamic Resistance's Operations Room confirmed that the occupation forces have suffered at least 35 fatalities and 200 injuries, including elite officers and soldiers.
