The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah, mourned martyr Hussein Ali Srour from the town of Aita Al-Shaab in southern Lebanon. Srour was martyred on the path to occupied al-Quds while carrying out his duty against the Israeli occupation. Earlier on Friday, the Resistance also mourned martyr Ali Ibrahim Rmeit from the town of al-Majadel.

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon continues to target Israeli occupation positions along the Lebanese-Palestinian border, inflicting direct hits in response to the ongoing Israeli aggression against villages in southern Lebanon and the continuous brutal aggression on Gaza.

{مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رِجَالٌ صَدَقُوا مَا عَاهَدُوا اللَّهَ عَلَيْهِ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ قَضَى نَحْبَهُ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَنْتَظِرُ وَمَا بَدَّلُوا تَبْدِيلاً} - صَدَقَ الله العَليّ العَظِيم

On Friday, the Resistance announced that it had targeted a grouping of Israeli occupation forces near the "Mitat" site opposite the town of Rmeich, resulting in confirmed hits and casualties.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent also reported that the Bayad Blida site was targeted with direct fire from Lebanon's side.

Israeli media mentioned on Friday that two Israeli occupation soldiers were injured in a drone attack in the Shebaa Farms area.

Addressing comments assuming that he will declare that Hezbollah has officially joined Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah affirmed that the Resistance in Lebanon already joined in the battle on October 8.

Emphasizing the strategic importance of the Lebanese front, Sayyed Nasrallah stressed that "what is happening on the Lebanese front today is very crucial, impactful, and unprecedented in the history of the entity."

He described the situation on the southern Lebanese front as a concealed but potent confrontation, saying that "since October 8, the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon has been waging a real battle that is only felt by those who are actually on the frontlines on the Lebanese-Palestinian border area," highlighting that Hezbollah's current battle is "distinct in its conditions, objectives, measures, and targets" from previous periods.

Sayyed Nasrallah provided insight into the tactical shifts prompted by the Resistance, stating, "The Lebanese front has significantly drawn off a large part of the Israeli forces that would have been directed against Gaza, pulling them toward us" and declared that the developments on the Lebanese front will not be left at their current state.

He highlighted the implications of a passive stance, saying, "If our stance was merely political solidarity and demonstrations, then the Israelis would be at ease at the northern borders and their forces would have proceeded to Gaza."

The leader of Hezbollah accentuated the military pressure exerted by the Resistance in Lebanon, saying, "The Lebanese front has succeeded in luring in a third of the Israeli army to our border." He noted the caliber of the forces engaged, revealing that "a significant portion of the Zionist forces stationed on the northern front are elite troops" and added that "half of the Israeli naval capabilities currently positioned in the Mediterranean are off the coasts of Lebanon and Haifa" and away from Gaza.

Continuing on the same point, Sayyed Nasrallah highlighted the strategic impact of the front in Lebanon, pointing out that it is unequivocal, as it forced the Israeli occupation to deploy a "third of its army" away from Gaza and toward the northern Palestinian border. 
 
He also revealed that Hezbollah's operations pushed Israelis to push "a quarter of their aerial forces near Lebanon and direct almost half of their anti-air systems toward the Lebanese front."

Highlighting the psychological impact of the Lebanese Resistance's actions, he stated that "the operations along the border have induced a state of concern, tension, and panic within the enemy's leadership, causing a deterrent effect, and this sentiment is mirrored by the Americans." 
 
He underlined the serious implications for "Israel" if the tensions were to escalate, emphasizing that "the enemy is apprehensive about the potential of this front intensifying further or spiraling into an extensive war," stressing that these concerns are legitimate and present a "very real possibility, and hence the enemy must account for this."

Concluding his message with a stern warning, Sayyed Nasrallah stated, "The Resistance operations in the south serve as an indication to the enemy, which may consider attacking or launching a preemptive operation, that you will be committing the biggest mistake in your history."
