Hezbollah issued a statement on Saturday quoting a field officer from the Islamic Resistance Operations Room, who provided details of a series of heroic confrontations against Israeli occupation attempts to infiltrate Lebanese territory.

The officer stated that, “At approximately 10:20 PM on Friday, Islamic Resistance fighters in the Adaisseh axis detected unusual movements by Israeli forces near Border Marker 405, in the outskirts of Adaisseh. Our fighters immediately made the necessary arrangements. Then, at around 10:45 PM, an elite enemy force advanced toward the Adaisseh Municipality building. By 11:00 PM, the infiltrating force reached a pre-prepared ambush, and with the call ‘We are at your service, O’ Nasrallah,’ our fighters opened fire with light and medium machine guns.”

The officer declared that this defensive effort exploded the enemy’s mines, which they intended to use to rig the municipality building.

“Approximately 15 soldiers were either killed or wounded, as their cries were clearly heard. Israeli occupation rescue teams, supported by helicopter fire, evacuated their casualties back to the occupied territories,” the Hezbollah officer concluded.

Speaking of the Zionist attempts early on Saturday, the officer stated that, “At approximately 1:50 AM on Saturday, another enemy force attempted to infiltrate through a different route towards the Adaisseh Municipality building. Islamic Resistance fighters confronted them with machine guns and rocket fire. The clashes lasted for more than two hours, during which the enemy suffered casualties among its soldiers and was forced to withdraw.”

“At 7:00 AM on Saturday, an Israeli occupation Merkava tank attempted to advance through a concealed route on the Lebanese side toward Al-Bat hill in the outskirts of Maroun Al-Ras. Islamic Resistance fighters precisely targeted the tank with a guided missile, resulting in its destruction and the killing or wounding of its crew,” the officer emphasized.

The officer confirmed that Hezbollah’s fire support groups continue to target Israeli occupation forces stationed in military barracks, sites, and settlements along the Lebanese border using artillery shells, rockets, and heavy machine gun fire, achieving direct hits.

He emphasized that the group’s missile force has consistently and is still striking various targets deep within northern occupied Palestine with intense rocket barrages.

Additionally, he highlighted that the Islamic Resistance’s air force continues to target Israeli occupation military bases and barracks in northern occupied Palestine with swarms of precision-guided drones.

The Hezbollah field officer concluded by stating that the Islamic Resistance has documented the deaths of over 25 officers and soldiers from the elite units of the Israeli occupation forces in recent days, following the announcement of their ground operation into southern Lebanese villages. He further asserted that more than 130 troops have been wounded.

“While the enemy has acknowledged some of these casualties, the coming days are likely to reveal even more of what they have concealed from the public,” the Hezbollah field officer concluded.
