Hezbollah, the Lebanese Resistance group, is still organized and has not lost its chain of command, despite all the Israeli attacks, Russia's Foreign Ministry stated on Wednesday, knowing that these attacks, according to Moscow, are aimed at stoking an armed struggle throughout the Middle East.

Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova told reporters that according to Russian assessments, "Hezbollah, including the military wing, has not lost its chain of command and is demonstrating organization."

Zakharova accused the West, particularly the United States and Britain, of escalating the Middle East war and demonstrating hypocrisy by supporting "Israel", which has killed hundreds of civilians in Lebanon.

Russia also chastised "Israel" for its assault on a residential building in the Mazzeh neighborhood of Damascus on Tuesday claimed the lives of nine civilians, including women and children, and injured fourteen others according to the Syrian Defense Ministry.

The latest aggression comes a week after Israeli airstrikes, which also targeted the Mazzeh neighborhood, killed three people, including Syrian journalist Safaa Ahmad, and injured nine others.

Zakharova expressed that "once again, Israel has grossly violated the sovereignty of Syria by launching a missile attack on a multi-storey apartment building in a densely populated area of Damascus," describing this "routine practice" in Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria by the Israeli occupation as "outrageous".

She added that it demonstrated "Israel's desire to further expand the geography of armed escalation in the region."

Hezbollah continues repelling Israeli attempts to enter Lebanese towns

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah announced a variety of operations throughout Tuesday, including overnight defensive operations, confrontations with Israeli occupation forces near the Lebanese-Palestnian border, and long-range rocket attacks. 

Israeli occupation forces have been attempting to infiltrate Lebanese border towns and territory since last Monday, paired with a vicious campaign of airstrikes and raids. However, Hezbollah fighters have maintained their positions and thwarted 22 Israeli incursions since battles started. 

Hezbollah issued a strong statement through its Operations Room in response to continued Israeli aggression on Lebanon and Gaza, pledging that the struggle against the Israeli occupation would continue until the cessation of war on Gaza.

The statement reaffirmed the group’s preparedness and the enhanced capability of its missile forces, warning the Israeli occupation that any further attacks on Lebanon would be met with intensified retaliation, reiterating remarks by Hezbollah's Deputy Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem.

Sheikh Qassem had earlier on Tuesday emphasized Hezbollah's readiness to strike anywhere in occupied Palestine.

According to the statement, Hezbollah's capabilities would be directed by the Resistance's leadership through a command-and-control system that has developed to become "stronger and more resilient" than before.

In the unfolding "epic battles", Hezbollah underlined that Israeli forces have suffered significant casualties, with more than 35 soldiers killed and 200 wounded from the Israeli occupation forces' elite units.

Israeli soldiers, the statement stressed, are hiding behind UNIFIL positions and attempting to move through unseen paths but have so far failed to enter the villages protected by Hezbollah.

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon repeated a warning it issued at the onset of the war, declaring that what the enemy had experienced so far is only "a fraction of the severe might that awaits them" in South Lebanon.
