The head of the Loyalty to the Resistance Bloc, Mohammad Raad has affirmed today in a speech that the Israeli occupation cannot twist the arm of the resistance, and the latter is capable of seriously exhausting 'Israel'.

Touching on the failures of the occupation in Gaza, Raad confirmed that the resistance in Lebanon and its confrontation with "Israel" threatens the occupation's existence.

"تصدّينا لمشروع الاحتلال من أجل حماية بلدنا ومن أجل التضامن مع المقاومين وبيئة #المقاومة في #غزة".

"The enemy feels this existential threat with the increased deterrence power that grows with the actions of the resistance," Raad added.

During a speech at the honoring ceremony held by the Lebanese resistance, Hezbollah for the martyr Ahmed Ali Mahdi, Raad explained that the resistance confronted the enemy’s project in order to protect Lebanon, and for solidarity with the resistance in Gaza.

Raad explained that when 'Israel' invaded Gaza, it planned on eradicating the resistance and returning to Lebanon, only to be surprised that the resistance was ready and waiting from the first shot.

"Israel" cannot twist the arm of the resistance, Raad expressed, adding that the resistance has the ability to exhaust the occupation until its plans of abolishing the resistance falls.

He pointed out that "the Israeli enemy, despite its arrogance, has reached the point of complete failure in achieving what it wanted through its aggression against the Gaza Strip, and was unable to achieve its goals."

"Do not believe the US does not want Israel to invade Rafah, rather the US wants 'Israel' to do so with minimal embarrassment to the US while it commits massacres against civilians.

Raad also stressed that “the massacres have become a shameful thing for all the peoples of the world,” adding that “the demonstrations that take place in America and Europe to condemn the genocide committed by Israel are pressuring the US.

In addition, he pointed out that 'Israel' would not have been able to invade Gaza had they not had the ammunition and weapons from the US.

He added, "Whether Netanyahu invades Rafah, and succeeds or not, his invasion will only result in failure because he will reach a point where Hamas will be awaiting to exchange captives and Palestinian prisoners."

Raad assured that the resistance was patient in its goal of defeating "Israel," citing that what thwarts the aggression of "Israel" is the patience that comes with confronting it.

Hezbollah downs Israeli spy balloon, kills and injures IOF soldiers

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah - engaged on Tuesday in a single operation three different targets related to an Israeli surveillance balloon.

In a report detailing the operation, Hezbollah announced the three targets as being: the launch base and the control equipment of the balloon, both of which have been successfully fully destroyed, as well as the team operating the equipment, which was directly hit, causing confirmed casualties between killed and injured. 

The balloon was launched over the Adamit settlement to monitor and spy on Lebanon.

The Resistance stated that the operation came after the surveillance balloon's movement was accurately monitored and its launching location was pinpointed, while simultaneously declaring it in support of the resilient people of Palestine and their Resistance. 

The spokesperson for the Israeli military consequently admitted that the spy balloon was hit during Hezbollah's operation, causing its fall in Lebanon. 

Hezbollah also targeted the 801 Brigade headquarters in the Golan Heights using rocket weapons. 

Moreover, "in defense of the resilient southern villages and civilian homes in Lebanon against Israeli aggression", Hezbollah in a statement announced targeting buildings where Israeli occupation soldiers are stationed in Avivim and al-Malikiyah.

The effects of Hezbollah's operations

Israeli media described today's operation as a "difficult incident that is being censored in the north", noting that censorship control would allow details to be published at a later time. 

Two houses were also directly hit in the Metulla and Arab al-Aramsheh settlements by Hezbollah's anti-tank missiles. Israeli media also revealed that an Israeli soldier was killed, while another was severely injured, in the Adamit settlement. 

Moreover, a fire broke out in a supply storage facility at the Tel Hashomer military base in Gosh Dan. 

Israeli media further emphasized that Hezbollah forced the Israeli occupation to evacuate several military bases while destroying espionage poles and incurring damages against the Meron surveillance airbase, as well as downing drones. All damages were censored, according to Israeli media. 

Meanwhile, settlers still in Kiryat Shmona were ordered to remain in shelters or bunkers, amid fears of rockets being launched at the settlement. 

In the occupied Syrian Golan Heights, alarm sirens went out following several explosions, Israeli media stated, while simultaneously reporting the launching of several missiles at the Metulla, Avivim, and al-Malikiyah settlements. 

This comes amid constant Hezbollah operations that are documented and published by its military media, which Israeli media admitted were accurate and showed its credibility. In contrast, the Israeli military spokesperson spreads lies. Consequently, Israeli media said Hezbollah's operations transformed the Israeli military into an army of cowards.
