The Lebanese Hezbollah group said it bombed an Israeli force that advanced towards the border area of Labouneh, achieving confirmed casualties and forcing it to retreat.
The statement followed claims by Israeli Energy Minister Eli Cohen that the Israeli army occupied the Maroun al-Ras area and destroyed houses from which Hezbollah allegedly fired rockets towards Israel.
On Tuesday, the Israel Broadcasting Corporation published video footage showing Israeli soldiers waving the Israeli flag in what it said was the southern Lebanese town of Maroun al-Ras.
However, Hezbollah confirmed in a statement that its fighters spotted an Israeli enemy force that infiltrated from behind the position of the international forces (UNIFIL) and dealt with them using ‘appropriate weapons’, forcing them to withdraw behind the border area.
In a separate statement, Hezbollah said that it bombed a gathering of the Israeli occupation forces in the settlement of Metulla with rockets, and targeted with a squadron of drones a gathering of the Israeli enemy forces in the settlement of Yaara.
The Lebanese group also announced that it has carried out 3,194 military operations against Israeli military sites and settlements since October 8, 2023, noting that its operations led to the evacuation of 100 settlements and the displacement of more than 300,000 Israelis.
Below are the latest statements by the two main Resistance forces in Gaza, and the Lebanese Resistance Movement Hezbollah.
The statements were communicated via their Telegram channels and are published here in their original form.
Al-Qassam Brigades (Hamas)
“Al-Qassam Brigades detonated a high-impact explosive device in a zionist personnel carrier near the headquarters of the Beitna Foundation, west of Jabalia camp, north of the Gaza Strip.
