The Israeli infantry force attacking the eastern neighborhood of the southern Lebanese border village of Khiam over the past two days was forced to retreat and withdraw amid its failure to invade the town, Al Mayadeen's correspondent in South Lebanon reported. 

The withdrawal began past midnight on Thursday, when the Israeli forces covered their tracks with around 40 white phosphorus projectiles and artillery shells, alongside a series of airstrikes.

Israeli artillery shelling was heavily focused on the northernmost area of the Khiam detention camp and the easternmost vicinity of the municipality, an axis of direct engagement and ground confrontations using the appropriate weapons, for about 15 consecutive hours. 

On Friday, the Islamic Resistance announced that its fighters bombarded an Israeli troop gathering in southernmost Khiam with a barrage of advanced rockets. 

In a series of blows to the Israeli occupation forces, the chief of the IOF Northern Command, Major General Ori Gordin, sustained injuries when his vehicle overturned during a tour along Lebanon's southern border. 

This comes as the Lebanese Resistance valiantly confronts occupation soldiers and their attempts to invade South Lebanon, thwarting their plots and inflicting major damage on their units, including the destruction of their troop carriers, Merkava tanks, and bulldozers. At least 95 Israeli soldiers have been killed over the past month, while over 900 sustained injuries, Hezbollah confirmed. 

Saturday's operations 

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah - caught momentum during the early hours of Saturday, kickstarting its operations by hammering the Israeli Military Intelligence Unit 8200's Glilot Base in the Tel Aviv suburbs, using a salvo of advanced rockets. The base was targeted once again at 7:45 am with a one-way attack drone. 

The operation, as declared by Hezbollah's military media, came as part of its Khaybar series of operations, as well as in defense of the people of Lebanon and their territories, and in support of Gaza and its resilient Resistance.
