BREAKING
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.
Sheikh Qassem: The government’s latest decision [on the disarmament of the Resistance] is non-charter-based, and if the government continues down this path, it is not faithful to Lebanon’s sovereignty.

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon, Hezbollah, announced Tuesday an attack on Israeli soldiers stationed around the Samaka site in the occupied Kfar Shuba hills.

The operation resulted in direct hits, according to Hezbollah's statement.

Hezbollah's statement highlighted that this attack was in support of the resilient Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip and the efforts put forth by their Resistance.

Prior to targeting the Summaqa site, Hezbollah executed a concentrated fire assault from a short distance using guided missiles and artillery shells. This attack targeted the Ramia site, its garrison, equipment, and Israeli soldiers' positions, achieving direct hits.

New tactics in play

Commenting on these developments, Al Mayadeen's analyst on Lebanese and resistance affairs, Abbas Fneish, noted that Hezbollah's strikes in the Ramia operation were remarkably close, ranging between 100 to 150 meters, a deliberate tactic.

In an interview with Al Mayadeen, Fneish explained that multiple specialties were involved in the attack, indicating varied support ranges from distant to medium and close-range engagements. He emphasized that the meticulous study of the operation's environment was fundamental, granting Hezbollah the ability to execute such actions while discussing the unique characteristics and advantages of the Israeli positions.

Fneish connected the Ramia operation to the recent operations in Malikiya on May 26 and 27, highlighting the detailed planning and distinct approach of the May 26 operation, which involved prolonged surveillance and subsequent targeting of incoming vehicles.

The morning of May 27 saw a second phase of the attack, featuring a synchronized fire assault with rockets and artillery, alongside an aerial offensive using attack drones.

He stressed that Hezbollah's operations, executed within its formations, signal that the Resistance is capable of surprising maneuvers, potentially revealing new tactics or more significant actions. 

This also serves as a message that Hezbollah is prepared and present in unexpected locations, countering Israeli claims of having pushed the group away from the border.

Fneish also pointed out that between May 20-26, Hezbollah conducted 76 military operations, which included targeting 10 command centers, 4 military vehicles, and 15 settlement units.

'Israel' lost al-Jalil

The former General Director of former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin's office, Shimon Sheves, said that "Israel" has clearly lost occupied al-Jalil, adding that "The simple truth must be said: Israel's security belt with Lebanon now passes through the Amiad-Acre line."

The political analyst and former Israeli official referred to the area evacuated of Israeli settlers in northern occupied Palestine, which reaches the borders of Kibbutz Am'ad near Lake Tiberias to the east and Akka to the west. 

Sheves believes that the performance of the Israeli government and security establishment over the past eight months up until now has been a miserable failure, noting that 80,000 Israeli settlers have been expelled from the occupied land and have been "refugees" for eight months. 

He stressed that without a serious security belt, the Israeli settlers of the North will not go back there, considering that "Israel's" withdrawal in 2000 is what led to the second war with Lebanon and the growth of Hezbollah's strength.
