Widespread Field Escalation: Hezbollah Carries Out 30 Operations, Targets Tanks and Iron Dome Platforms

The Lebanese Hezbollah announced the execution of 30 diverse military operations on Wednesday, targeting gatherings, vehicles, and soldiers of the Israeli occupation army. The operations were heavily concentrated in the town of Zawtar Al Sharqiyah in the Nabatieh Governorate, where fighters carried out 17 attacks in that area alone to counter Israeli infiltration attempts.

Field sources reported that Hezbollah used advanced missiles and 'Ababil' suicide drones in its attacks, in addition to artillery shells. The targets included the destruction and disabling of 6 Merkava tanks in the vicinity of Zawtar Al Sharqiyah, with fires seen erupting in some of them during evacuation attempts.

In a significant development, Hezbollah targeted an Iron Dome platform at the 'Jal Al-Alam' site in northern occupied Palestine twice consecutively using suicide drones, confirming direct hits. These attacks come as part of Hezbollah's efforts to disrupt Israeli air defense systems attempting to intercept its missiles and drones.

Zawtar Al Sharqiyah witnessed fierce clashes at 'zero range' between Hezbollah fighters and occupation forces at the cultural complex, forcing the Israeli force to retreat. Following the withdrawal, occupation aircraft carried out intense fire belts in the area to cover the retreat of its soldiers and secure alternative routes.

For its part, the Israeli Broadcasting Corporation revealed that a number of security guards in one of the Galilee settlements were injured as a result of an attack by an explosive drone. Sources explained that the attack used a dual tactic by first targeting soldiers, then attacking the evacuation and security teams that rushed to the scene.

Hebrew reports indicated that the situation in the northern towns has become more complex with the continuation of Hezbollah's qualitative attacks. They confirmed that Hezbollah is now using sophisticated tactics aimed at inflicting the greatest possible losses on forces attempting to entrench themselves in border areas.

In a related context, the occupation army issued urgent warnings to residents of southern Lebanon, considering the areas south of the Zahrani River a dangerous 'combat zone'. This river is about 40 kilometers from the border, indicating the occupation's intention to expand the scope of ground and air military operations deep into Lebanese territory.

Israeli Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir stated that military strikes against Hezbollah strongholds are increasing in strength and intensity day by day. Zamir claimed that the army is working to destroy Hezbollah's military infrastructure and prevent any future threats to northern settlements, despite the continued missile barrages.

Hezbollah justified this escalation as a natural response to repeated Israeli violations of ceasefire agreements and attacks on civilians. The group affirmed in its statements that its fighters are in full readiness to confront any attempt at a ground advance towards southern villages and towns.

Missile attacks also targeted newly established occupation army positions at Al-Oweida Hill, located between Kafr Kila, Al-Adaysah, and Taybeh. Suicide drones also targeted engineering vehicles and D9 bulldozers that were carrying out construction and fortification works in border areas and the Galilee.

Political observers believe that Israel is trying to achieve quick field gains through this escalation before entering into any potential political negotiations. The occupation aims to reach strategic areas such as the banks of the Litani River to impose a new military reality that serves its conditions in any future agreement.

Israeli operations also seek to pressure the popular base in the cities of Nabatieh and Tyre by intensifying air raids and fire belts. This comes amid reports of Israeli attempts to reach military facilities it describes as difficult and impervious to traditional aerial targeting.

In contrast, the resistance adopts a daily attrition strategy aimed at inflicting human and material losses on the occupation, preventing it from stabilizing in the positions it controls. Video recordings broadcast by military media show the accuracy of hits inflicted on Israeli vehicles and soldiers in the combat axes.

In conclusion, the field remains the judge in light of the failure of diplomatic efforts so far to curb the ongoing military escalation on the Lebanese front. With the occupation's insistence on continuing its operations, Hezbollah affirms its continuation of qualitative operations that target both the Israeli interior and front lines.

Our operations come in defense of Lebanon and its people, and in response to the Israeli enemy's violation of the ceasefire and attacks on southern villages.
