Casualties inflicted on Israeli troops as Hezbollah repels incursion attempts into Lebanon
Hezbollah says it has thwarted Israeli military incursion attempts into southern Lebanon and inflicted "direct casualties" on troopers, as tensions continue to escalate between the resistance group and the occupying regime.
In a statement on Tuesday, Hezbollah said its fighters have targeted Israeli forces with artillery and rocket fire as they attempted to advance towards the border area of Labouneh at 4:55 a.m. local time, inflicting direct casualties on enemy soldiers and forcing them to retreat.
The attack was carried out in response to the Israeli bombardment of cities, villages, and civilians in Lebanon and in support of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, Hezbollah stated.
In a separate statement, Hezbollah said it has detonated an explosive device targeting Israeli forces as they attempted to infiltrate the town of Blida in southern Lebanon.
Hezbollah went on to say that its fighters clashed with Israeli troops, inflicting injuries on them.
The Israeli military confirmed the attack, saying three of its soldiers had sustained serious injuries in the fighting.
Since Thursday dawn, the Lebanese resistance fighters have been repelling every attempt by the Israeli elite forces to advance on multiple fronts in southern Lebanon, inflicting heavy losses in terms of equipment and personnel.
Israel has escalated its barbarism in Lebanon over the past weeks.
Hezbollah has been responding to the aggression with numerous retaliatory operations, including with hypersonic ballistic missiles, targeting the occupied Palestinian territories.
The Lebanese resistance movement has vowed to keep up its operations against Israel as long as the Israeli regime continues its Gaza war, which has so far killed 41,965 Palestinians, mostly women and children.
