The Israeli occupation entity hastily announced its so called second phase in its ground attack on south Lebanon after a 40% drop in its aerial and ground assaults along the border region. That’s the assessment of Hezbollah’s Operations Room.

It explained that the Israeli reduction was a result of the enemy’s inability to establish control over Lebanese territory. In some instances, the occupation soldiers were forced to retreat behind the border in northern occupied Palestine due these failures.

Hezbollah notes that the attempted advances toward areas south of Khiam for a second time over the last few days underscores the failure of Israel’s first phase.

Hezbollah has revealed that since the start of the “Israeli” ground maneuver the heroic resistance fighters have carried out more than 350 operations on Lebanese soil and over 600 firepower operations targeting Zionist military units within the occupied Palestinian territories.

The Islamic resistance movement says these inflicted heavy losses on the Israeli enemy’s forces. 

Now, in numbers since the start of Israel’s so called “second phase” at least 18 enemy soldiers and officers have been eliminated and more than 30 others wounded, some critically.

Five Merkava tanks and one military bulldozer have been destroyed. These figures take the number of those eliminated since October this year to 110 and more than a thousand injured.

Close to 50 Merkava tanks have been destroyed alongside nine military bulldozers, and six other military vehicles. Nine Israeli drones have also been downed.
