As Hezbollah expands its renewed operations on Israeli occupation forces, Eliezer Marom says the Lebanese Resistance faction is capable of operating with ease in South Lebanon.

Eliezer Marom, the former Commander of the Israeli occupation's Navy, said Hezbollah is capable of expanding the scope of confrontations, as it possesses huge capabilities over a large operating area in South Lebanon.

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon is "capable of working inside this area, without facing any problems," Marom told Israeli Channel 12.

Other Israeli media outlets said the occupation is in a historic-worst state in terms of engaging in war on the Northern Front with Hezbollah.

On Saturday, Hezbollah intensified its operations on Israeli occupation sites and bases, launching nine attacks on Israeli targets positioned alongside the Palestinian-Lebanese border.

Importantly, the Resistance dealt direct hits to an Israeli occupation force, taking position in a building in the "Doviv" settlement at 3:30 pm (local time). This came as an initial response to "Israel's" targeting of a civilian house in the southern town of Houla on Friday. The Resistance also executed a similar attack less than an hour later, targeting another building in "Doviv", which housed Israeli occupation forces.

Hezbollah fighters went on to launch attacks on the "Metulla" and al-Marj military sites, dealing direct hits to their intended targets.

The Resistance faction's operations come in support of the Palestinian people and their Resistance, who are facing unprecedented Israeli aggression, which has killed more than 15,200 people in less than two months.

Significantly, the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon confirmed direct hits on the headquarters of the 91st Division, located in the "Biranit" Barracks. The Resistance also targeted artillery positions at the Khirbet Ma'ar military site, opposite the Lebanese towns of al-Dhayrah and Yaroun, near the Lebanese-Palestinian border, using the appropriate weapons and rockets.

Up to this point, Hezbollah has conducted a total of 15 operations against Israeli occupation forces located in occupied territories, since the morning of December 1. Before a 7-day humanitarian truce imposed by the Palestinian Resistance on the Israeli occupation, Hezbollah had taken huge leaps forwards, in terms of the weapons deployed during confrontations. In fact, the Resistance factions launched several attacks on Israeli military sites, using heavy caliber Burqan rockets. Hezbollah expected to expand its operations as the occupation expands its aggression on the Gaza Strip.
