The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) shifted its ground operations to the western direction of southern Lebanon in the last few days after failing to advance in the eastern direction, Hezbollah announced on October 11.
In a statement, Hezbollah’s Operations Room said that Israeli troops made several infiltration attempts from the border sites of Ras al-Naqoura and Jal al-Alam towards the towns of al-Mushairfa and al-Labouneh, taking advantage of the area’s rough terrain.
The infiltration attempts were covered by dozens of airstrikes as well as heavy shelling from land and sea, according to the group.
“On Tuesday [October 8], an Israeli enemy army force attempted to advance from Ras al-Naqoura towards the border area of al-Labouneh with the aim of reaching the UNIFIL [United Nations Interim Force In Lebanon] center in al-Labouneh and stationing themselves there, but the Islamic Resistance fighters confronted them with appropriate weapons and forced them to retreat,” the group said.
“On Wednesday [October 9], the Israeli enemy army returned to advance towards al-Labouneh through three repeated attempts, but the fighters confronted them in each attempt with rockets, artillery shells and guided missiles which forced them to retreat, suffering heavy losses in their troops,” it continued.
The group also said that “on Wednesday, the Resistance fighters monitored an infiltration attempt by an Israeli enemy army force from Ras al-Naqoura towards the al-Mushairfeh area, so they targeted them with a suicide drone that exploded among the elements of the infiltrating force, resulting in the death and injury of most of its members.”
“On Thursday [October 10], a group of Israeli soldiers, accompanied and protected by a Merkava tank, tried to advance towards the al-Labouneh area from Ras al-Naqoura. As soon as the tank was within range of fire, the resistance fighters targeted it with a guided missile that hit it directly, destroying it, setting it on fire, killing its crew and wounding the soldiers taking cover behind it. The enemy failed in four attempts, over a period of hours, to advance to withdraw the casualties, as the fighters confronted it each time with appropriate weapons and forced it to withdraw,” it added.
In addition, Hezbollah announced that its fighters continued to target Israeli gatherings in sites, barracks and settlements along the border.
The group also revealed that its rocket and drone attacks on bases and settlements in the depth of northern Israel were increasing.
“It is worth noting that the Israeli enemy army, days after announcing the start of what it called the ground maneuver in southern Lebanon, cannot show its tanks and military vehicles to the Lebanese side for fear of being targeted and is positioning them in uncovered places, and despite that they are targeted by missiles and artillery shells and suffer heavy losses,” the group said. “The Israeli enemy has failed, until the time of preparing this statement, to control any of the commanding hills that it is trying to advance to, and is content with reaching some houses on the outskirts of some border villages with the aim of taking pictures and organizing media visits.”
Furthermore, Hezbollah called on civilians in northern Israel to stay away from the IDF gatherings and deployment points, vowing to keep settlements in northern Israel empty until the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip and Lebanon is over.
“The Israeli enemy army has used the homes of settlers in some settlements in northern occupied Palestine as gathering centers for its officers and soldiers, and its military bases that manage the aggression against Lebanon are located inside neighborhoods in major occupied cities such as Haifa, Tiberias, Acre, and others. These homes and military bases are targets for the missile and air force of the Islamic Resistance, and accordingly we warn the settlers from being near these military gatherings in order to preserve their lives until further notice,” the group said.
“The Islamic Resistance is committed to its covenant and promise to its supreme and most holy martyr, His Eminence the Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, that the settlements in northern occupied Palestine will remain free of settlers until the war on Gaza and Lebanon stops,” it added.
Separately, Hezbollah’s Military Media released two videos showing some of the group’s recent rocket attacks on northern Israel, including ones that targeted the cities of Haifa and Safed.
The clashes on the Lebanese-Israeli border first broke out after the start of the war in the Gaza Strip, with Hezbollah launching attacks in support of the Palestinian enclave. Israel escalated its attacks on Lebanon starting from September 17 and on September 27 it assassinated the Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Hassan Nassrallah.
The IDF officially announced the launch of a limited ground operation against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon on September 30.
So far, the confrontation has resulted in 29 civilian deaths in Israel and the occupied Syrian Golan Heights as well as the deaths of at least 34 soldiers and security officers. On the Lebanese side, more than 2,229 people have been killed, including more than 500 members of Hezbollah.

it is some april edition of south front today, is it? half of lebanon is to be evacuated, millions of people are escaping, the whole hezbollah command is dead including replacement. sf must learned their rhetoric from baghdad bob, who claimed that sadaam’s army is advancing when baghdad was already in american hands.
mohammed saeed al-sahhaf served as minister of foreign affairs from 1992 to 2001 under iraqi president saddam hussein, acting as spokesman for the arab socialist ba’ath party and saddam’s government. he has also been nicknamed baghdad bob or comical ali (a play on “chemical ali”) for his notable and colorful television appearances.
the lebanese people will have to take a stance against anglo zionist cancer now, or they will become eaten by the cancer. israel was never going to be a peaceful place. it was a 100% settler colonialist murder outpost doing the dirtiest of the dirty work even the british and americans will not want to be seen to do
cha. the lebanese people… who, by the way, asked them if they wanted to die as human shields because of some ambitious and incompetent scums from hezbollah? why do these brave hezbollah scums always hide behind civilians and then shout about “genocide”? look at what hamas has done in gaza. they barely harmed israel, but they destroyed their own country forever.
hamas did not bomb the shit out of gaza, you filthly pro-jewish assclown !!! gaza was destroyed by jews – the same filthly scum claiming to have suffered from “holocaust” when in fact it is always them genociding other people. so f*ck off with your lies. hope 100% people 1000 times as radical as hitler or saddam will rise, stand up soon and finish off all, to the very last one, jews. impalement or burning alive is the right punishment for all members of that satanic cult.
zio clowns cry crocodile tears as they target kiddies and pregnant women with snipers, shoot hospital staff nazi style in mass graves. they routinely accuse others of their own crimes. they use drones to broadcast the sound of crying children and shoot people who come out to help. they routinely seize young children to use as human shields. they are subhuman filth.
only the foulest of the foul jewish supremacists could murder thousands of civilians and blame the people that they claim are there intended target. absolute filth.
you son of a jew. the hamas and hezbollah are the zivilists who live there. they were forced to take arms because the west ans usrael killed the zivilists from very beginning of their satan state usrael.
the zionists came with military and no sense of humanity to murder the people and take away their land. until today, and that’s the war usrael is forcing.
anyway us army got bogged down and destroyed in iraq by nationalist iraqi reistance like ar rashedeen army, 1920 revolution brigades, fedayeen saddam & else and of course by sunni mujahedeen groups. us army ran into a quagmire in iraq – not as worse as the russians currently in ukraine and with less losses – but in the end they got defeated and had to beg iran for deal to keep at least a few symbolic troops % bases in iraq.
bob was the inspiration for all the zio fairy stories about six million beheaded babies, babies cooked in ovens, and six million women raped and turned into soap and lampshades. the old favourites are always the best.
i. as you can read it’s only the beginning. ii. the evacuation of zivilists is a common tactic. above all: because usrael is bombing zivilists, hospitals, schools and un-sites. iii. idf is repelled several times as it tried to enter lebanon. despite the fact hezbollah had dire setbacks.
iv. it’s true, hezbollah had setbacks. but it is back now: strengthtened and with a good measure of wrath. the most spys have revealed themselfs, so a new purified table is established.
so don’t judge to early, soon all the promised threats will come over usrael. and as we know: the resistance always make its promises true
time to tell the israelis to evacuate tel aviv before it’s blasted to hell.
they put their mossad terror hq and military installations in tel aviv so any civilians there are just human shields and collateral damage.
try telling that to the idf child killers bodies going back in body bags.
northern palestine will never again be occupied by chosenite thieves. step by step the khazar abomnation will be cured of demonic chosenite sosiopath$.
hezbollah operations have had hiccups but now they are better decentralized and capable of serving shlomo what he has coming
oh yes, they have everything under control, just like the comical ali. they will lie until the last moment, when someone comes and cuts off their electricity and their fairy tales about hezbollah and about the brave fight against israel will be over.
will it be another great jewish supremacist victory like 2006? the 1982 invasion really put an end to the resistance to jewish supremacism in the region, right?
hehehe, the colonialists in the west think they can control this situation. all they are creating is more hate and resistance and retaliation.
making the khazar land grabbing “settlers” in occupied palestine pay the same price that the israhell demons have inflicted on the semmitic people of palestine is the only way to get the colonial thieves to destroy their regime and flee back to the foreign ghettos that spawned them.logic!
free the middle east of evil israelis
the mighty zio tik tok lgbt army has successfully advanced six inches into lebanon and is now enjoying some genuine lebanese hospitality. they can always be sure of a warm welcome from hezbollah.
the time has come for the satanic tyrannical fake country of israhell to go to the hell from whence it came, and it’s getting a lot of help to get there quickly
dozen of low flying drones loaded with high grade explosives aimed atbthe marketplaces in tel aviv, haifa u s w, killing jewish women and children, just like the idf does. the difference being that jews will flee to other parts of the world whereas the palestinians are left with refugee-camps. whats, to,like – even the field and kill the jewish civilians right away to balance out 100 years of injustice served by the disunited states of a in cooperation with the jews!
the problem is nearly every mass murder and terrorist event in the last 100 years on civilians have been committed by jews.
al qaida, taliban, isis… all funded by jews……
jews are the filthiest souless beings in the earth. they are devils spawn and seed.
every jew on earth knows the holocaust is fake.
excitement from the jew breed comes from deceit and betrayal.
and thats why studies proved jews and the most effeimnate and emascultaed of all. they are weak gutless cowards
