The operations room of Hezbollah announced on Wednesday evening that more than 130 Israeli soldiers and officers have been killed, and over 1,250 have been injured, since the start of the ground advance into Lebanese territory on the 1st of October.
“In support of the noble Palestinian people, the Islamic Resistance has completed its path, and continued its covenant of Jihad for more than 13 months at the orders of Secretary-General and supreme martyr, His Eminence Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah, may Allah sanctify his soul, and under the banner of his successor, His Eminence Sheikh Naim Qassem, may Allah preserve him, achieving victory over the delusional Zionist enemy,” Hezbollah’s operations room said in a statement.
Since October 8th 2023, Hezbollah carried out 4637 operations against Israel, and since September 17th 2024, it carried out 1666 operations against Israel with various weapons against various targets, including 105 operations against valuable strategic and sensitive targets in the ‘Khaybar’ operations series, the statement read.
Since the ground invasion, more than 130 Israeli soldiers were killed, 1250 were wounded, 59 tanks were destroyed, as well as several vehicles and drones. All of these losses are inside Lebanese territory, and do not include losses in the occupied territories”
During the first phase of the ground operation, the Israeli occupation Army did not succeed in establishing operational control over any of the Lebanese towns in the first line of defense, nor did they succeed in establishing a buffer zone, nor did they manage to thwart the launch of missiles and drones into Israel, according to the statement
“During the second phase of the ground operation, the Israeli enemy was unable to advance into any of the Lebanese towns in the second line of defense, withdrawing three times from Khiyam, and from Ainatha, Taloussa, Bint Jbeil and Al-Qawzah. They only managed to advance towards Al-Bayada and Shamaa in the Western Sector, which became a graveyard for their tanks and soldiers, before withdrawing from there too,” the operations room underlined.
Hezbollah’s defense plan is based on a large structure, and the resistance has prepared more than 300 different defense lines South of the Litani, each of which remain at the highest level of readiness in terms of manpower, equipment, and capability, the statement affirmed.
The Islamic Resistance confirmed that it will continue to monitor the movements of the Israeli enemy, and remains fully prepared to deal with any aggression, and our hands remain on the trigger.
