🇮🇱l🇱🇧 Al-Manar reports a new attack targeting the Israeli forces in Maroun al-Ras.
Today Hezbullah attacked them twice with rockets and once with an ATGM inside a house they were in.
Earlier today IDF radio correspondent visited the Israeli forces in the town, and reported that only a battalion is still in the village unlike the previous weeks when a full division fought to occupy the town.
Their commander talked how the assualt started by sneaking towards the UN base at night and through it gain a foothold in the town. This is near the garden. Now they aren't facing any resistance anymore inside the town and only under rocket and drone attacks.
The reporter adds that the forces there aren't stationed openly, still retreating sometimes in what he describes as raids. This is to protect the soldiers from being identified in fixed positions and then attacked.

⭕️ Part of Hezbullah's official summary about the ongoing Israeli ground invasion
– Western Sector:
The Israeli enemy forces proceeded to advance towards the town of 'Shamaa' with the aim of controlling it to reduce resistance rocket fire on the city of 'Nahariyya' and the occupied 'Haifa' area.
The enemy forces infiltrated from the forests of 'Labouneh,' passing through the forests of the towns of 'Alma al-Shaab' and 'Tayr Harfa.' The advancing forces fell into ambushes set by our fighters.
During the infiltration of an armored company towards the vicinity of the town mosque and the municipality building (east of the UNIFIL site), our fighters targeted them with guided missiles, resulting in the destruction of two 'Merkava' tanks and a bulldozer.
Our fighters also targeted an infantry force near the shrine of 'Prophet Shimon al-Safa,' causing a number of casualties.
✍ (One death was confirmed by the Israeli army and several injuries)
Our fighters clashed at close range with the enemy forces around the shrine, the municipality building, and the mosque more than five times using machine guns, hand grenades, and rocket-propelled grenades, resulting in numerous injuries.
Israeli ambulance forces called in helicopters to evacuate the injured and launched illumination devices to mark their location, including from inside a school.
On the western outskirts of 'Al-Jbeen,' our fighters targeted a 'Merkava' tank with a guided missile, killing and wounding its crew.
The operation area was also hit with 120mm and 81mm mortar shells, while the resistance missile force targeted the paths and positions of Israeli soldiers and vehicles on this axis with dozens of missile salvos and artillery shells.
– Central Sector:
In refutation of the Israeli narrative about the ambush at the 'Ainata-Maroun al-Ras-Aitaroun' triangle, the Islamic Resistance Operations Room announced that our fighters monitored a force from the 51st Battalion of the Golani Brigade infiltrating from the border area between 'Aitaroun' and 'Maroun al-Ras' towards the southeastern outskirts of 'Bint Jbeil.'
Despite intensive air campaigns, the force fell into an ambush. At 09:50 AM, our fighters opened fire, forcing the enemy to take shelter in a damaged house.
Our fighters targeted the house with anti-personnel and anti-armor RPGs, leading to the destruction of parts of the house on the force inside.
Clashes continued for more than three hours, with the Israeli army admitting that an officer and five soldiers from the 51st Battalion were killed, along with four wounded.
After this incident, no new attempts to advance towards Aitaroun-Aynatha axis anymore nor Bint Jbeil.
– Eastern Sector:
The enemy intensified its aggression on the city of 'Khiyam' with more than 60 air and drone raids and over 130 artillery shells in preparation for re-advancing towards the city.
Our fighters clashed with the advancing forces as soon as they arrived at the Wata al-Khayam area, using machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades. They targeted two 'Merkava' tanks with guided missiles, leading to their burning and causing casualties.

✍ There are several people who rightfully asked how come is Hezbullah's performance in Khiyam and Ayntha-Bint Jbeil much better than their performance in the western sector.
And how come before during the first row of towns, the performance in Aita al-Shaab was better than in Blida and Mays that fell so quickly.
Mentioned is also Shamaa, and how Teyr Harfa was allegedly overrun without any resistance
Honest answer? I don't know and we'll have to wait after the war for a better overview.
What's important now is inshallah they are defeat and the failure of the second phase of the Israeli invasion

⭕️ In Hezbullah's assessment, they have killed about 110 Israeli soldiers and injured about 1,050 others.
Officially, the Israeli army acknowledged only 43 deaths, but confirms the 1,000+ injured soldiers.
Hezbullah's assessment likely includes the severely injured soldiers who were seen in the battlefield as dead and adds to them the possible casualties in the attacks on Israeli vehicles which the Israeli army didn't acknowledge.
43 and adding the tanks and bulldozers is almost the report hundreds.
Hezbullah also states they attacked 48 tanks, 9 bulldozers, 2 Humvees and 4 other vehicles.
They also report to have shot down 8 large UAVs.

⭕️ Hezbullah announced a double tap tripple-tap
In a unique statement in terms of location, Hezbullah announced an ATGM attack on an Israeli army force in Markaba village at 10.00 pm tonight
Then once another Israeli force arrived to evacuate injuries at 10.30 pm, they were attacked with another ATGM
And when another force arrived at 11.10 to evacuate the dead and injured, they were attacked again with ATGM
A triple-tap. Admin will go nuts if no deaths are going to be announced tomorrow

🥀 The Lebanese Army Command mourns the martyr:
- First Lieutenant Ayman Abdel Latif Rahhal
- Sergeant Adam Gerges Aoun
-;Sergeant Ali Muhammad Harb
who were murdered on 19/11/2024 as a result of the Israeli enemy attack a Lebanese Army center in the town of Sarafand.
The Israeli army attacked and didn't clarify, even though the Lebanese army isn't fighting Israel nor cooperating with Hezbullah. Especially that the Lebanese army is who is supposedly going to be part of the post-war authority in south Lebanon.

☠️ This morning, the Israeli army announced the elimination of a new solider in the ongoing invasion of northern Gaza
- Sergeant First Class (res.) Roi Sasson, aged 21, from Mevaseret Zion, a soldier in the 90th "Nahshon" Battalion, Kfir Brigade
In this battle, the Major General, commander of the 90th Battalion of the Kafir Brigade, Lt. Col. Yoel Glickman, was seriously wounded.
Jabalia claimed the lives of 28 Israeli soldiers, a number that would have stopped a war in any other past events.
The IDF estimates that 100-200 resistance fighters only remain in Jabalia after they forced the exodus of the population and arrested thousands of locals.

Lebanese News and Updates
As mentioned before, this war is too early to end, because Israel isn't treating it as a simple conflict that ends with achieving temporary gains and so on.
The matter which is vague and continues to be, is that the goals to end the war in Gaza are different than the goals to end the war in Lebanon
However the war Israel fought Hezbullah, was is if they fought it over a Hezbullah's own 7-Oct that they didn't do nor did anything to actually prompt such a campaign.
Between Gaza's 7-Oct and the 101 hostages and the mere threat of a possible Hezbullah ground attack on the Galilee that is now a thing of the past, Israel can stop the war today and be considered a winner having achieved maximalist goals in Lebanon that it couldn't achieve in previous wars.
Invading all of south Lebanon is time consuming and occupying it isn't feasible due to resources and manpower and with their clear goal for now to set the conditions to return settlers home, this war can end very soon because the threat to invade is no-more and Hezbullah would abide by a ceasefire like both sides did for 18 years after 2006.
However despite all these achievements, it doesn't feel right or doesn't feel like its actually going to happen.
Not only will Israel forfeit its goal of pushing Hezbullah beyond the litani, etc etc those major goals that all officials explicitly talked about won't be achieved and the resistance can consider it as a partial victory that was through preserving the resistance.
Now you'd ask but look at the destruction. I'll tell you blame Israel for its war crimes and the US for the bombs to attack civilian property and cause this destruction. Do not conflate righteousness with falsehood.
But ending the war now will put Lebanon in a weak position because it was not able to create a deterrence yet
The war at this moment would end with Israel achieving A goal, unlike in 2006 when it achieved Zero goals.
Not only that, but Israel would not have neutralized the threat of rockets, so if the war starts tomorrow its as if we are back to the day before the ceasefire.
So its a matter of many Israeli goals not being achieved, excluding one. All that after the massive destruction in Lebanon caused by Israeli aggression and war crimes.
On the other hand, Sayyed Hassan was clear. The support front won't allow the setters return home unless the Israeli war in Gaza ends.
However when he was speaking, he spoke about the support front, the low intensity battle which was largely confined to south Lebanon which they assumed could be limited to that area for long. What's the position now?
How can Lebanon accept a ceasefire that is sesperate? However how can justify continuing this war at a killing disadvantage for us and tie it to Gaza, with no prospects there to end. Different goals and grand plans by Israel. They want to change Gaza forever and one year into the war and they are still going.
We cannot in Lebanon handle another year. However ending the war here, just doesn't work or shouldn't be so. The problem is, Lebanon has no leverage in the negotiations nor ability to enforce a condition.
A ceasefire here and there without ending the war would be great. Ceasefires happened in 2006 war.
This war was fought remarkably with many disadvantages, even during the support front where Hezbullah kept a low scale of escalation and was harmed without using the weapons jt could to harm back in order to avoid expanding the war.
But Israel's previous knowledge and the tools it has at its hand allowed things to move along until we reached the black day of the pager attack and what followed in a series of catastrophies that shaped this war in a way it was not planned to be fought it
This wasn't what Hezbullah prepared for and the situation is completely different, so it's wrong to judge them based on this and ridicule what they prepared for and promised in the past years.
The resistance's war in 2006 secured unprecedented 18 years of security and calm in Lebanon, a major achievement while ensuring Lebanon never normalized nor accepted submission.
Today's war is a step in the harsh path of resistance, the thorny road (طريق ذات الشوكة) A mishap today is the present's lesson for the future.
