— ❗️🇱🇧 Statement by the Operations Room of the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon:

'In support of the steadfast Palestinian people, and in support of their valiant and honorable resistance, and in defense of our steadfast Lebanese people, the Islamic Resistance has completed its path, fulfilling the order of its Secretary-General and Supreme Martyr, His Eminence, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, peace be upon his soul, and the banner-bearer after him, His Eminence Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem, may God protect him.

And Hezbollah has continued its covenant and jihad for more than 13 months, and has been able to achieve victory over the delusional enemy who could not undermine its resolve or break its will, and it was the field whose pure, Mujahideen men, who trust in God Almighty, were able to hinder the Israeli goals, defeat its army, and wrote with their blood their steadfastness and perseverance in the Al-Aqsa Flood Battle and the Battle of the Fierce.

On this glorious occasion, the resistance announces the following:

– The number of operations of the Islamic Resistance since the launch of the Al-Aqsa Flood operations on 08-10-2023 has reached more than 4637 military operations over 417 days, at an average rate of 11 operations per day.

– Among these operations were 1666 operations since the start of the Israeli aggression on Lebanon and the launch of the 'Battle of the Fierce' operations on 17-09-2024, at an average rate of 23 operations per day. These operations targeted the sites, barracks and bases of the Israeli enemy army, and the Israeli cities and settlements starting from the Lebanese border all the way to beyond Tel Aviv, and it also included heroic confrontation against the enemy forces' ground incursions inside Lebanese territory.

– Within the framework of the 'Battle of the Fierce' operations, the Islamic Resistance carried out 105 military operations that were part of the 'Khaybar' series of qualitative operations, through which it targeted dozens of strategic and sensitive military and security sites, which were targeted for the first time in the history of the Zionist entity, using qualitative ballistic and precision missiles and suicide drones, which reached beyond Tel Aviv, up to 150 km deep inside the occupied Palestinian territories.

The cumulative toll of losses incurred by the Israeli enemy army since the start of the ground invasion in Lebanese territory on 01-10-2024 until the date of issuing this statement is:

– More than 130 soldiers and officers killed and more than 1250 wounded.

– 59 Merkava tanks destroyed, 11 military bulldozers, 2 Hummer vehicles, 2 armored vehicles, and 2 personnel carriers.

- 6 'Hermes-450' drones shot down, 2 'Hermes-900' drones, and a quadcopter.

It should be noted that this toll does not include the losses of the enemy in its military bases, sites, barracks, settlements, and occupied cities inside Israel.

The Islamic Resistance Operations Room confirms the following:

– Throughout the Israeli army's ground operation inside Lebanese territory since 01-10-2024, and due to the steadfastness of our Mujahideen on the battlefield, the attempts of the enemy forces to occupy and establish themselves in any of the towns of the first line of the front did not succeed – noting that these towns were exposed to attacks since the beginning of 'Al-Aqsa Flood' – nor did they succeed in establishing a military and security buffer zone as the enemy had hoped, nor were they able to thwart the launching of missiles and drones on the occupied interior; and until the last day of the aggression, our Mujahideen continued to target the enemy's depth from within the border towns.

– The second phase of the ground operation was nothing but a political and media stunt, as the enemy was unable to advance to the towns of the second line defense, and suffered heavy losses in Khiyam, from which it withdrew three times, and Ainatha, Taloussa, Bint Jbeil and Al-Qawzah.

— ❗️🇱🇧 Statement by the Operations Room of the Islamic Resistance (Part 2):

The only real attempt to advance was towards the towns of Al-Bayada and Shamaa in the western sector, which became a graveyard for their tanks and elite soldiers, who withdrew from it under the blows of the Mujahideen.

– The defense plan of the Resistance is based on the Buqai defense system, and the Resistance has prepared more than 300 different defense lines South of the Litani River, each of which was at the highest level of readiness in terms of manpower numbers, equipment, and capabilities, and what happened in Al-Bayada and Al-Khiyam is the best evidence of this.

– The Operations Room of the Islamic Resistance confirms that its Mujahideen from various military specialties will remain fully prepared to deal with the ambitions and attacks of the Israeli enemy, and that their eyes will continue to monitor the movements and withdrawals of the enemy forces beyond the borders of Lebanon, and their fingers will remain on the trigger, in defense of Lebanon's sovereignty and for the sake of the dignity and honor of our people.

— ❗️🇱🇧 🇱🇧 Statement by Hezbollah to the people of Lebanon:

'O' the most generous, purest, and most honorable of people, our dear and proud people, O' free sons of our homeland, O' you who, with your legendary steadfastness and sacrifices that did not stop at the enemy's illusions, shattered, so victory from God Almighty was an ally of the true cause that you embraced and carried, returning to your villages and homes with pride and zeal; you roam the corners of the world with victory, and you carry the lofty and steadfast banner in the field and conscience, which will remain resistant to oppression and aggression.

The Islamic Resistance, which has offered its best leaders and mujahideen for the sake of Allah and in defense of its land and people, and on the path of supporting the oppressed in Palestine, today addresses you, and all the free people in the world, and the mujahideen in all the arenas, with a salute of arms, jihad, martyrdom and victory, and pledges in the name of its mujahideen and heros, all the pure blood and pure souls, to complete the path of resistance with even greater determination, and to continue standing by the oppressed, the weak and the mujahideen in Palestine with its capital, the noble Jerusalem, which will remain a symbol and a path for generations dreaming of freedom and liberation.'

— ❗️🇱🇧 Statement by the Operations Room of the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon (summarized):

– 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 S.G. Nasrallah and S.G. Naim Qassem, achieving victory over the delusional Zionist enemy.

– 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.

– 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 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.

– 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.

– 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 Islamic Resistance confirms 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.

> Syrian rebels immediately start an offensive against the Syrian Arab Army, after Netanyahu said Assad is 'playing with fire'

Couldn't the Mossad logistics department have made it slightly less obvious?
