Hezbollah field officer says “enemy is suffering heavy losses”

A field officer in the Hezbollah Operations Room in Lebanon confirmed that the price paid by the Israelis for some pictures and videos on the outskirts of some southern villages adjacent to the border is very high in terms of human and material losses.

The field officer explained that “the pictures published today by the Israeli enemy army of its soldiers near homes in a border village in southern Lebanon were taken in a geographical spot dozens of meters away from the occupied territories, where, as everyone knows, some southerners built their homes near the border.”

He added, “To obtain these photos that the troubled Netanyahu badly needs, the price was more than 20 dead and wounded among the elite soldiers, which forced the Israeli military censor to hide it and cover up the event.”

According to Al-jazeera, The Israeli military ordered people in 25 villages in southern Lebanon to evacuate immediately signaling it’s expanding its ground offensive.

Avichay Adraee, the army’s Arabic-language spokesman, told residents of the villages – including Houla, Meiss el-Jabal, and Bilda – to evacuate or risk “putting their lives in danger”.

“Do not go south,” he said, adding Lebanese residents must move north of the Awali River.

Hezbollah leader revealed that “the elite soldiers of the Israeli enemy army tried on Friday afternoon, after artillery and air cover, to advance from two axes towards the towns of Maroun al-Ras and Yaroun on the front edge. When the forces arrived at the ambush points prepared in advance and at the call of ‘Labbaik Ya Nasrallah’, the Islamic Resistance fighters detonated several explosive devices (some of which were planted yesterday), and clashed with the elite officers and soldiers with light and medium weapons and rocket-propelled grenades, from close ranges that reached zero.”

He stressed that the ambush resulted in several deaths and injuries among the infiltrating force, and those who were not injured carried the dead or wounded and withdrew under artillery cover from the enemy’s positions inside the occupied territories.

Hezbollah field officer pointed out that the Hezbollah fighters are monitoring, following up, and confronting every hostile movement on the front edge of southern Lebanon, and are pursuing the Israeli military in their bases and rear barracks along the borderline in the occupied territories, with artillery shells and Salvos rocket.

The statement of the field officer in Hezbollah comes about five days after the start of the ground battles with the Israeli military that are trying to penetrate the Lebanese border areas, where the resistance groups stationed on the Lebanese-Palestinian border are confronting them and inflicting heavy losses in lives and equipment, which has prevented them so far from advancing in any area in southern Lebanon.
