Lebanese Resistance Fighters Fully Prepared For ‘Israeli’ Aggression - Hezbollah Officer
By Staff, Agencies
A Hezbollah officer said his comrades with the Lebanese resistance movement are fully prepared for any ‘Israeli’ assault, and have been mobilized in two regions on the border between Lebanon and the 1948 ‘Israeli’-occupied territories, as well as the occupied Golan Heights and the Galilee region.
The officer, speaking on condition of anonymity, told al-Mayadeen network in an interview aired on Friday that the mobilization of Hezbollah resistance fighters has operational purposes, emphasizing that the forces remain on high alert to face any ‘Israeli’ act of aggression.
“The most outstanding achievement by Hezbollah was to draw a large number of ‘Israeli’ forces from the internal and southern sectors of the occupied Palestinian lands to the northern front, which consequently eased the pressure on our brethren in the Gaza Strip,” he said.
The officer added that another major achievement was confusing the occupying ‘Tel Aviv’ regime, and avoiding the spill over of the conflict.
He went on to hail operations carried out by Hezbollah fighters against ‘Israeli’ espionage and monitoring facilities on the border, referring to ‘Jal al-Alam’ outpost and the ‘al-Abbad’ military site as the most strategic targets struck.
The officer highlighted that the operations commenced in the occupied Shebaa Farms, and expanded to include any area within a radius of 100 kilometers.
“A large number of ‘Israeli’ Merkava battle tanks were targeted with our guided missiles, and taken out of service. Hezbollah resistance fighters struck and seriously damaged many ‘Israeli’ military sites near the border with Lebanon through missile and artillery strikes."
"The ‘Israeli’ military consequently had to mobilize far away from its conventional facilities, and abandon some of them in order to avoid being hit,” he pointed out.
“Hezbollah fighters have launched salvos of rockets toward the occupied Palestinian territories. They have managed to disable the ‘Iron Dome’ anti-missile system in several instances, especially during the latest attacks on ‘Kiryat Shmona’ settlement as well as ‘Israeli’ military positions in the Golan Heights, Zaoura village, and Wadi al-Asal area in the Shebaa Farms,” the officer noted.
The remarks came on the same day that ‘Israeli’ media outlets reported that Hezbollah forces had fired three guided missiles at ‘Margaliot’ moshav, located along the border with Lebanon in the Upper Galilee.
Later on, the Lebanese resistance fighters targeted ‘Israeli’ army positions in ‘Berkat Risha, Hadab al-Bustan and Ramim’ regions, inflicting damages at the sites.
Hezbollah announced in a separate statement that its fighters had targeted ‘Israeli’ infantry troops in ‘Shtula’ moshav in northern ‘Israeli’-occupied Palestinian territories, leaving casualties on the soldiers.
The Lebanese forces also launched an attack with the help of three strike drones, inflicting losses on ‘Israeli’ forces.
Hezbollah has warned that it will join the Palestinian resistance group Hamas and its allies in the fight against ‘Israel’ if the regime escalates its aggression on Gaza and in case foreign military forces intervene to help the ‘Israeli’ regime in the battle.
Hezbollah’s Secretary General His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said on November 3 that the Lebanese resistance movement entered the battle against ‘Israel’ on October 8, a day after Gaza-based Palestinian resistance movements launched their surprise Operation al-Aqsa Flood against the regime.
Sayyed Nasrallah said the daily exchange of fire with ‘Israeli’ occupation forces along the Lebanese border might seem modest but is of prime significance, calling the confrontations unprecedented since 1948.
