Israeli Military Struggles in Southern Lebanon Against Hezbollah
Brigadier General Elias Hanna, a military and strategic expert, has provided insight into the ongoing conflict in southern Lebanon, highlighting the difficulties faced by the Israeli occupation army in its attempts to dislodge Hezbollah fighters, particularly the notorious "Radwan Division." According to Hanna, the Israeli forces are struggling to push these fighters back towards northern Lebanon or the Litani River, resorting to the destruction of local infrastructure in border villages to create a narrative of success for the Israeli political leadership.
Hezbollah's Counteroffensive
In response to the Israeli military presence, which includes divisions 164, 36, 91, 98, and 210 stationed along the border, Hezbollah has been actively bombarding these forces. The intensity of the attacks varies, with Hezbollah targeting military centers in central Galilee, Haifa, and even near Ben Gurion Airport. Recent developments indicate that Hezbollah has escalated its tactics, employing suicide drones in attacks against Israeli military positions, including a significant engagement in the town of Maroun al-Ras.
Ongoing Conflict and Regional Tensions
The conflict has seen Hezbollah launching rocket barrages towards Israeli military sites and settlements, with recent reports confirming rocket fire aimed at Haifa Bay and Safed. Air raid sirens have been activated in several Israeli locations, including Acre and the Galilee, indicating the heightened state of alert. The main battlegrounds remain in the areas of Mays al-Jabal, Aitaroun, Kfar Kila, and Taybeh, with ongoing tensions along the contact line in the southeast of Lebanon.
