No, this is not because of Hezbullah's actions in 2023; that war ended with a clear ceasefire agreement, which Israel violated as acknowledged by US, France, UN and even Lebanon's Aoun and Nawaf. Yet no one did anything.

Think about this war as not a war of choice, but as one forced on us. If our will surpasses that of Israel's, we secure stability again. If we fail, we reach the same outcome we would have even had this war not taken place. However, the sacrifices will be great.

Back to my point, the Israeli actions in south Lebanon of demolishing border towns was intended to ensure Hezbullah can no longer come back to these towns. After all, Hezbullah in south Lebanon simply consists of village locals which, during war, are supplemented by 1-2 groups of Ridwan forces. That is it. Some towns barely have 24 defenders including Hezbullah's Ridwan--that may or may not be able to arrive on time. These border towns barely had any locals for 15 months and rarely any Hezbullah members, let alone small arms. Therefore, the moment this war started, any Israeli advance from Naqoura to Aita, in Khiyam and Taybeh, was not only expected, but one would be foolish to assume was not destined. These towns are by all means considered not only a military burden, they are practically undefendable. This is why Hezbullah had arranged a limited number of fighters to be available on the front lines, with most engagements occurring from a distance. This strategy is the most suitable for what is possible, yet ensures that the advance will be as slow as possible.

Slowing the advance as much as 3 weeks for few towns that were demolished and bombed for 2 years is great work. I'm not saying they are not critical losses--they are. But these towns were softened even before the invasion of 2024, so imagine today. Leabnese towns are also separated by large fields, which makes sending reinforcements very hard, and this is why the Israeli army can move fast enough in some lands, and why the areas under its control will appear bigger. However, it's mostly no man's land. The IDF has D-9s, tanks, vehicles, helicopters, and jets. The bare minimum is that they reach 20 km with ease after such bombing efforts on these towns, with valleys that do not have a single trench or defense line that you may commonly see anywhere else. This is the nature of war in South Lebanon.

The battle should intensify when Israel tries to go to bigger towns such as Bint Jbeil. However like Khiyam, it might also fall. The battle today is to make each attempt costly and thus foil the next objective. Litani river is a rock's throw away from the Galilee tip but 10s of kilometers away from the western sector. How the IDF drives this war does not matter, and the Litani river is within reach, although a small negligible part of it. I doubt the IDF will reach the Litani in the full sense. They wont fight in major cities like Nabatiyeh and Tyre. They will at most, for now, try to reach the second line of villages and attempt to achieve a secure 5-7 km buffer zone.

To win this war, Hezbullah has to make the IDF pay dearly for every town they attack and take, and ensure no presence in any town is secure enough. Israeli demolitions are the single most important point of failure for them, as each demolition is a chance to kill a dozen soldiers. With just enough hits, Hezbullah can strike enough fear to change the tide of this war.

For now, Hezbullah's efforts showcase they were able to restore critical C3 abilities (command, control, and communication). They are effectively coordinating the war effort to lead the defense of the towns with the available resources, noting an abundance of ATGMs, and FPVs oddly only on the Qawzah front (why only there bro). They also showcased good disbursement of ammo caches, as we did not record a single Israeli attack with secondary explosions in any house they attacked so far, contrary to what we witnessed in 2023 and 2024 and even 2025. Hezbullah is able to fire more rockets more often that before, and has so far fired 3500 (including drones) etc etc.

Hezbullah has the fighters with skills and tools, has the motivation, and has the will. As for the people, they are aching now, but will be soothed with a single success; this is what separates a good tree from one rotten at the core.

A single factor that would also play in Hezbullah's favor is an Iranian ceasefire that includes Lebanon, and more importantly, Iran's survival. It will give Hezbullah the life it needs to overcome the challenges in Lebanon against the traitorous government. I explained in a different thread the impact of Syria. Hezbullah without Iran is no longer possible as an armed resistance, because non-state actors can only exist if the states supporting them do.

Your role during this war is to ensure the population has the means to stay patient until the war objectives are achieved, and only with this war ending with true calm in south Lebanon can the risk of war be avoided in recent upcoming months and years again. Stability brings about stability. I do understand that Hezbullah's choice is not a popular one in Lebanon, especially for non-Shia locals, but this is a topic for another day. Hezbullah is the sole reason why Lebanon has not made peace with Israel; a stance the are being punished for now, but hopefully one day history will acknowledge as the true moral choice. This war will have highs and lows, but at the end of the day, Israel's objectives are not destined and Israel, like any other country or empire, will be have highs and lows too.

This war might be what offsets the catastrophic and devastating repercussions of the 7-October war.

Lots of Lebanese traitors mocking today's work, especially the events involving tanks.

Let me say something, yes it is wrong to assume any damaged tank is lost, Israeli tanks are very heavy and can be repaired. Not as vulnerable as Soviet tanks.

However, you are foolish to believe that Hezbullah didn't successfully hit and damage several tanks, even destroy a couple.

If you wait and expect the IDF to acknowledge any material losses, especially tanks, you are as delusional as anyone you are attacking.

The IDF did not acknowledge a Hermes-450 loss over Lebanon despite Hezbullah sharing clear evidence. No one was able to photograph wreckage.

Yet you expect them to acknowledge what they can hide? Grow up and mature.

Social media is a plague to war. What would people do in WW's or major civil wars before.

NEW: 64% of Americans disapprove of Trump’s handling of Iran, per Fox News poll.

بيان صادر عن غرفة عمليّات المقاومة الإسلاميّة حول المواجهة البطوليّة في محور الطيبة – القنطرة

بِسْمِ اللَّـهِ الرحمن الرَّحِيمِ
‏﴿أُذِنَ لِلَّذِينَ يُقَاتَلُونَ بِأَنَّهُمْ ظُلِمُوا وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَىٰ نَصْرِهِمْ لَقَدِيرٌ﴾‏
صَدَقَ اللهُ العَلِيّ العَظِيم

عمدت قوّات اللواء السابع التابع للفرقة 36 في جيش العدوّ الإسرائيليّ أمس الأوّل الثلاثاء، 26/3/206، إلى تسيير جرّافة بالتحكّم عن بُعد بين منطقة المحيسبات في الطيبة وبلدة القنطرة، بهدف استطلاع وكشف تموضعات دفاعات المقاومة الإسلاميّة، فرصدها المجاهدون وأمهلوها بغية استدراج العدوّ إلى كمينٍ مُحكم.
وعند الساعة 18:50 أمس الأربعاء تقدّمت سريّة مدرّعات، بنسق طوليّ، من جهة المحيسبات باتّجاه بلدة القنطرة تمهيدًا للسيطرة عليها. انتظر المجاهدون الذين كانوا يرصدون حركة العدوّ حتى أصبحت كلّ آلياته ضمن حقل الرماية المُحكم، وعند صدور الأمر، وبنداء يا رسول الله، أطلق الرماة الماهرون صواريخهم الموجّهة باتّجاه الفصيل الأوسط من النسق، المؤلّف من 4 دبّابات ميركافا وجرّافة D9، فأصابوها بدقّة ما أدّى إلى تدميرها.
وفيما كان الفصيل الخلفيّ المؤلّف من 4 دبّابات ميركافا يُطلق غطاء دخانيًّا كثيفًا لإخفاء تموضعه، عاجله المجاهدون مجدّدًا بالصواريخ الموجّهة فدمّروا استعداده كاملاً أمام أعينهم التي رصدت الدبابات تحترق. تزامنًا مع الاشتباك كانت مجموعات الإسناد التابعة لسلاح المدفعيّة في المقاومة تستهدف المقرّات القياديّة للكتائب المعادية المتموضعة في مشروع الطيبة ورب ثلاثين والعويضة، وكذلك قوّات التعزيز التي استُقدمت لإخلاء الإصابات.
حاول فصيل المقدّمة مواصلة التقدّم باتّجاه مدخل بلدة القنطرة فتصدّى له مجاهدونا بالصواريخ المباشرة ودمّروا جرّافة D9 ودبّابة ميركافا، إضافة إلى تدمير دبّابة ثانية قرب الخزّان، ما دفع جنود العدوّ إلى ترك باقي الآليّات ومحاولة سحب الإصابات والفرار سيرًا على الأقدام باتّجاه منطقة المحيسبات.
تمكن المجاهدون من إفشال مناورة العدوّ وكبّدوا قوّاته خسارة حصيلتها 10 دبّابات وجرّافتا D9، كما كانوا أفشلوا محاولةً مماثلة قبل يومين من بلدة الطيبة باتّجاه بلدة دير سريان مدمّرين 8 دبّابات ميركافا.

In brief:

Advance attempt happened from Taybeh project (small part south of the town not town itself as mentioned before).

Israel send a lonely remote controlled D-9 to scout Hezbullah ATGMs as a bait. Hezbullah did not engage and let it pass

IDF sent tanks and D-9s now, all manned. They were allowed to pass until they reached the ATGM ambush point. Attacked.

The support tanks behind attacked too

Final push to Qanatar town engaged also.

Hezbullah confirms tanks were destroyed: seen burning

After yesterday's events, today seems to different

Israeli advances under fire continued in both Taybeh and Qantara.

Hezbullah engaged and attacked 8 new tanks in Qantara, 5 new tanks in Der Siryan, and 3 new tanks in Taybeh

The Israeli army acknowledges that one soldier from the Golani Brigade's Reconnaissance Unit was shot dead in a gunfire exchange with Hezbullah in south Lebanon

Another was lightly wounded in the incident.

Another was moderately wounded in rocket.fire

Fifteen (15) others from temperature drop in south Lebanon. Hypothermia

No reports about casualties from tanker units

The incident happened 2 a.m today in an area under Israeli fire control.

Yay

Please do soldiers next

❗️The IDF has been preparing to deploy a sixth division, the 98th — an elite formation of paratroopers and commando units — in southern Lebanon, as part of the efforts to establish the new security zone up to the Litani river.

Six divisions!

🇮🇱The Chief of Staff warned last night in the cabinet:

"The IDF is going to collapse into itself. I am raising 10 red flags

Zamir added: The IDF now needs a conscription law, a reserve law and a law extending compulsory service. The reserves will not last"

The Chief of Staff said these dramatic things to the Prime Minister, the heads of the defense establishment and the ministers. As of this moment, no response has been provided by the IDF

An Israeli division (specifically a maneuver division in the IDF ground forces) typically consists of roughly 10,000 to over 15,000+ soldiers, depending on whether it is a regular or reinforced division.

A single IDF division usually comprises three or four infantry/armored brigades, along with artillery, engineering, and intelligence support unit

A ratio of 10:1 attacwkrs to defenders if not 20:1

Regular posting is not resumed as I mentioned. Please refer to other channels.

I'll only cover occasional things I feel worth it to keep in the channel for reference and archive

About the thread, hopefully someone found it beneficial. I only want to stress on the point that I mentioned that Israeli advances are expected and only natural but so is defense which is a long term and ongoing effort to dislodge occupation and remove a threat by making an area unsustainable for the enemy

It's النفس الطويل war
