Statement issued by the Islamic Resistance Operations Room

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
{Those who are fought against are permitted [to fight] for they have been wronged, & Allah is indeed able to help them prevail}

The Islamic Resistance continues to confront the “israeli” aggression on Lebanon, inflicting heavy losses on the “israeli” enemy army in terms of both personnel and equipment, including officers and soldiers, across the front lines in Southern Lebanon, reaching deep into its positions within occupied Palestine. Since the start of ground operations along the front lines near the Lebanese-Palestinian border, the “israeli” enemy army has deployed 5 military divisions, comprising more than 70,000 officers and soldiers, along with hundreds of tanks and military vehicles. In contrast, hundreds of Islamic Resistance fighters have been fully prepared and ready to repel any “israeli” ground incursion into the villages of Southern Lebanon.

1- Ground Confrontations:

Since the start of this week, there has been an escalation in the heroic confrontations led by the Mujahideen of the Islamic Resistance against “israeli” enemy officers and soldiers advancing from several directions in the eastern and western sectors towards the villages of Odaisseh, Rmeish, Blida, Markaba, al-Qouzah, Aita al-Shaab, and Ramieh. These advances were covered by heavy aerial and artillery fire targeting the mentioned villages and their surroundings. According to pre-prepared field plans, the Islamic Resistance Mujahideen confronted the enemy forces around and inside some of these villages by targeting their advancing routes and luring them into advanced ambushes within some of the border villages. Violent clashes erupted with the enemy at point-blank range, particularly in the towns of al-Qouzah and Rmeish, resulting in the enemy suffering 10 dead, more than 150 wounded, and the destruction of 9 Merkava tanks and 4 military bulldozers.

2- Missile Force:

The missile force of the Islamic Resistance continues, with increasing intensity day by day, to target “israeli” enemy gatherings at military positions and barracks along the Lebanese-Palestinian border, as well as in settlements and occupied cities in the North, reaching as far as its military bases deep within occupied Palestine. This has been done using various types of missiles, including precision missiles that were used for the first time.

3- Air Force:

The air force of the Islamic Resistance continues, with increasing intensity day by day, to target the enemy’s military bases from the Lebanese-Palestinian border to deep within occupied Palestine using various types of assault drones, including advanced models that were used for the first time. In addition, the air force is carrying out reconnaissance and intelligence-gathering missions.

4- Air Defense Unit:

The Mujahideen of the Islamic Resistance in the Air Defense Unit have been and continue to repel “israeli” military aircraft, both reconnaissance and combat, that are attacking Lebanon, using appropriate weapons. They have recently successfully shot down two “Hermes 450” reconnaissance drones.

According to the observations of the Islamic Resistance Mujahideen, the “israeli” enemy has suffered approximately 55 dead and more than 500 wounded, of officers and soldiers of the “israeli” army. In addition, 20 Merkava tanks, 4 military bulldozers, an armored vehicle, and a personnel carrier (APC) have been destroyed, along with the downing of two “Hermes 450” drones. These figures do not include the losses incurred by the “israeli” enemy at the military bases and barracks along the Lebanese-Palestinian border and deep within occupied Palestine.

Based on the directives of the Resistance leadership, the Islamic Resistance Operations Room announces the transition to a new and escalatory phase in the confrontation with the “israeli” enemy, the details of which will unfold in the events of the coming days.
