❗️After cutting off the Khardali road linking the Marjeyoun area and the Nabatieh area, the Israeli forces entered at night the town of Deir Mimas up to the monastery’s surroundings in the western outskirts under the cover of artillery shelling that hit all the commanding heights from Arnoun and Qalaat al-Shaqif all the way to the town of Yahmor.

❗️Al-Akhbar, quoting a military source:

Israeli forces set up a checkpoint at the western Deir Mimas junction (known as Morqos Station) and blocked the road with a bulldozer and a tank.

When a convoy of UNIFIL and Lebanese army forces passed, they allowed UNIFIL to pass and forced the army to return. The convoy was heading from Nabatieh to Marjeyoun.

📸 Al-Akhbar correspondent: The Lebanese army closed the road between Nabatieh and Marjeyoun via the Khardali checkpoint after the Israeli occupation forces advanced to the road between Deir Mimas and Qalaa and blocked the road with a tank and a bulldozer

The IDF told the residents of both Christians towns to stay inside their homes, and not leave them.

If the IDF stays there, it will be catastrophic for Marjeyoun - Khiyam axis as a whole.

❗️ Israeli demolitions are also reported in Tayr Harfa town, where the Israeli army passed through in the axis of advance towards Shamaa

Geolocation: 33.131943°, 35.230186° (Tayr Harfa)

The IDF ks demolishing buildings to make the area no defendable anywhere, a wasteland that can be observed from the air.

Soldiers actually asked if they can demolish Shamaa fort, but were not allowed to avoid a backlash internationally

📸 Aftermath of the attack in Chiyah area (old Sidon road)

The building didn't collapse with one Israeli bomb only. Many other buildings destroyed or damaged.

Unfortunately some people continue to gather in the area and record. I don't care if they die or get injured, I'm just worried they don't grasp how bad the situation is and how they are looking at these events as its a show not people's houses and business and lives lost

🇮🇱l🇱🇧 Read this well, by Ali Shoaib, the most senior and factual reporter in this war:

At a time when the resistance announced from the beginning that it relies on the tactic of hurting the enemy and that its mission is to direct effective and painful blows to the enemy during its ground incursion, and it is not one of its missions as a resistance to to be able to stop the Israeli invasion at the border wall in the face of the strongest military in the region

Despite this.. no resistance fighter fled in all the confrontations witnessed by the border towns and they continued to fight until the last moment of their lives.

They were martyrs who killed the enemy and destroyed tanks and then were killed, and this is what was documented by Israeli drones and published by the enemy's media itself, they did not skimp on their lives, they were truly men of God, the enemy did not enter until after their martyrdom.

(Hezbullah fought in each town until there was no one legt to defend)

Two basic matters must be addressed in these lines:

First - the border towns and the towns adjacent to them, have never before been exposed over the course of an entire year to what this area was exposed to in terms of destruction, displacement, paving operations, raids and artillery shelling over the past 13 months since the beginning of the Al-Aqsa flood on 8-Oct...

... This all was until they became villages exhausted by the aggression, in addition to the complete aerial coverage of drones of all kinds and other space espionage capabilities, despite that, these villages continued to fight and withstood more than 50 days after the ground invasion.

(He's right here. Fighting a fresh town is not like fighting it after 1 years of attacking it in daily airstrike. Remember Aita al-Shaab how it was under daily airstrikes for 11 months)

- Second: It is important to draw attention to the resistance decision taken since 2006 to not be present and fight from villages with a certain specificity. (He means Hezbullah will not fight inside Christians, Sunni, or Druze towns because they aren't welcome and they want to avoid any friction)

It is known that in the south there is social and sectarian diversity that differs in orientations, politics and doctrine, and therefore the enemy exploits this loophole to penetrate into some areas without resistance, and this constitutes a soft underbelly for some of the resistant towns, and what happened in Deir Mimas, Burj al-Muluk and others is the best evidence of that.

(Some of these towns are what caused other towns to fall to the Israeli army, like how the axis to Rmeich affected the battle in Aita or how Israel was able to reach so deep to Dier Mimam and Qalaa)

In Khiyam, Naqoura and Bayada, a huge army is trying to control and is being fiercely confronted from within and outside these villages despite all of the above.

In conclusion, it is true that occupying the land is a harsh and bitter matter, and desecrating one inch of our land calls for anger together, but this is war which has has both sadness and joy.

But that is not the end of the road, the occupation's goals of eliminating the resistance have evaporated and become an illusion, and the return of the settlers to the north remains a dream unless our people are proud and their land is fully sovereign, this is the era of the resistance baptized with the blood of its leaders and soldiers.

The enemy will not settle in any meter of our land if it decides to stay, but will be pursued by explosive devices, ambushes, guided missiles and martyrs, and will drown in a bloody war of attrition

علي شعيب ||  حول مستجدات الجبهة

في الوقت الذي أعلنت فيه المقاومة منذ البداية انها تعتمد تكتيك ايلام العدو و أن مهمتها توجيه ضربات مؤثرة وموجعة للعدو اثناء توغله البري وليس من مهماتها كمقاومة ان تقف صدًا ثابتًا في وجه اقوى ترسانة عسكرية في المنطقة لمنع التقدم !!
رغم ذلك .. لم يفرّ أي مقاوم  في كل المواجهات التي شهدتها البلدات الحدودية و ظلوا  يقاتلون حتى آخر نبض في حياتهم ، كانوا استشهاديين يقتلون العدو ويدمرون الدبابات ويُقتلون ، وهذا ما وثقته عدسات المسيّرات الاسرائيلية ونشره اعلام العدو بنفسه ، لم يبخلوا بأرواحهم ، فكانوا رجال الله بحق ، لم يدخل العدو الا بعد استشهادهم ،

امران اساسيان يجب المرور عليهما خلال هذه السطور :

اولًا  - البلدات الحدودية و البلدات المحاذية لها ، لم يمر سابقًا ان تعرضت منطقة على مدار عام كامل مما تعرضت له هذه المنطقة من تدمير وتهجير وعمليات تمهيد وغارات وقصف مدفعي على مدى الاشهر 13 الماضية منذ بداية طوفان الأقصى حتى باتت قرىً منهكة بالعدوان ، فضلا عن الإطباق الجوي الكامل من المسيرات على انواعها والقدرات التجسسية الفضائية الأخرى رغم ذلك ظلت المنطقة تقاتل وتصمد بعد اكثر من 50 يوما على الغزو البري .

- ثانيًا  : من المهم لفت النظر الى قرار المقاومة المتخذ منذ العام 2006 القاضي بعدم التواجد والقتال من القرى ذات الخصوصية المعينة ، من المعروف ان في الجنوب تنوع إجتماعي و طائفي مختلف بالتوجهات والسياسة والعقيدة ، ولذلك يستغل العدو هذه الثغرة للنفاد الى بعض المناطق من دون مقاومة و يشكل ذلك خاصرة رخوة لبعض البلدات المقاومة و ما حصل في دير ميماس وبرج الملوك و غيرها خير دليل على ذلك .

في الخيام والناقورة والبياضة جيش جرار يحاول السيطرة ويواجَه بضرواة من داخل هذه القرى ومن خارجها رغم كل ما تقدم  .

في الختام ، صحيح ان احتلال الارض امر قاسٍ ومُر و وتدنيس شبر واحد من ارضنًا يدعو  الغضب معًا ، لكن هذه هي الحرب في الحزن والفرح ، لكن ذلك ليس نهاية المطاف ، اهداف الاحتلال بالقضاء على المقاومة تبخرت واصبحت وهمًا ، وعودة المستوطنين الى الشمال تبقى حلمًا ما لم يعد اهلنا اعزاء شامخين وارضهم كاملة السيادة ، هذا عهد المقاومة المعمد بدم سيدها وشهدائها .
و لن يستقر العدو في أي متر من أرضنا إن قرر البقاء بل ستلاحقه العبوات والكمائن والصواريخ الموجهة والاستشهاديون وسيغرق في حرب استنزاف دامية.

🇮🇱l🇱🇧 In a first operational complete brief in days, the Israeli army released footage of some of their operations in south Lebanon in the second line of villages.

Photos includes some vests, a few rifles, and a martyr who died alongside his ATGM nest. He was killed in a previous drone strike.

They claim to have found some tunnel shafts, a drone, and other infrastructure

🇺🇳l🇱🇧l🇮🇱 The UNIFIL command was informed by the Italian unit in Shama that four Italian soldiers were injured today as a result of two rockets falling inside the headquarters of the Western Sector Command in Shama (UNP 2-3).

They also acknowledged in the same statement that the Israeli occupation army is positioned around the center.

Let the last sentence be the key to when both the UN and IDF report on this incident
