Hezbollah's Military Media published new footage of the symbolic drills carried out by the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon, which simulated an attack on Israeli settlements.

The symbolic drills included a display of individual combat and climbing skills, a motorcycle parade, and a live maneuver simulating the takeover of a military vehicle.

The Resistance also carried out another drill simulating an operation whereby Israeli soldiers are captured inside the occupied Palestinian territories, with live ammunition used.

Likewise, the Lebanese resistance fighters simulated the storming of a checkpoint and demolishing the separation wall built by the Israelis, and crossing into occupied Palestine.

An offensive operation was also shown on a place near the Bir Kalab site which was previously occupied by the Israeli Occupation Forces to the liberation of South Lebanon in 2000.

A large number of UAVs, including tactical UAVs, were also included as part of the symbolic drills.

Hezbollah official reveals messages behind 'symbolic drills'

Chairman of Hezbollah's Executive Council, Sayyed Hashem Safieddine, warned the Israeli regime that they would experience the effects of the resistance's arsenal of precision missiles in action if they ever decide to commit any "foolish acts."

The symbolic drills conducted by Hezbollah fighters simulated an offensive operation and the capture of Israeli soldiers, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported, noting that the simulated drill employed Hezbollah's drone forces.

The Islamic Resistance official announced that the intended message of the drills was to convey the Resistance's readiness to confront any aggression and maintain the deterrence equation with the Israeli enemy.

"Despite all the political pressures and the economic sanctions, the Resistance has not been exhausted nor attrited," the chairman noted.

"[We] have observed the enemy's inability to solidify new rules of engagement in the battle of Avenging the Free. let the Israelis know that if they ever think about expanding their circle of aggression, the Resistance is ready to rain down on the enemy what is beyond its capacity to deter."

Safieddine invited the Lebanese people to remain reassured and confident that the resistance is capable of protecting them. Furthermore, Safieddine reaffirmed Hezbollah's determination to liberate all Lebanese territories from Israeli occupation. 

"Shebaa farms, Kfarshouba hills, and the Lebanese side of the Al-Ghajar village will all be repatriated. And our eyes will remain fixated on them till the time is ripe for their liberation."

"Our fighters will remain armed until complete victory is realized."

"Wagers on the international community are destined to disappoint," the chairman noted; what liberates Palestine and Palestinian resources is "force and a prosperous resistance". 

He added that there is no more noble cause than unifying our resistance to rid our people of the oppression perpetrated against them.
