On Tuesday, Hezbollah and a Lebanese Army source said they have not seen Israeli troops enter Lebanon after the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced ground forces were conducting raids across the border.
“All Zionist claims that [Israeli] occupation forces have entered Lebanon are false,” Hezbollah media official Muhammad Afif told Al Jazeera, adding there have been no “direct ground clashes between resistance fighters and occupation forces.”
A Lebanese military source told AFP, “We have not observed any penetration by Israeli enemy forces into Lebanese territory.” UN peacekeepers in Lebanon also said they didn’t observe any Israeli troops cross the border.
The denials of Israeli ground troops entering Lebanon came after the Israeli military said that its forces were conducting “limited, localized, and targeted ground raids” in southern Lebanon.
Later on Tuesday, the Israeli military claimed that its commandos had conducted dozens of ground raids in southern Lebanon over the past few months and said the operations would continue until displaced Israelis can return to northern Israel.
“Our soldiers entered Hezbollah’s underground infrastructure, exposed Hezbollah’s hidden weapons caches, and seized and destroyed the weapons, including advanced, Iranian-made weapons,” said Israeli military spokesman Daniel Hagari.
Also on Tuesday, Israel told people in southern Lebanon to evacuate to the north of the Awali River, which is about 36 miles from the border, and Israeli strikes on Lebanon continued. Since September 23, Israeli strikes on Lebanon have slaughtered over 1,000 people.
hezbollah says a lot of things
You old saying, truth is the first victim of a war.
even before the barrages truth gets hit
Has Israel ever told the truth? All they do is lie and manipulate. Ww3? Thank a zionist!
Reliable reporting indicated any IDF advances were stopped by resistance and IDF took casualties.
“We have not observed any penetration by Israeli enemy forces into Lebanese territory.”
Maybe they have access to a cloaking technology, and if they do, I’ll be a monkeys uncle.
As I said earlier today…
Not to mention that some random raids into the contested area of the border is not going to enable the return of the displaced Israelis. As Colonel Wilkerson and others have said, that is going to fail and Israel – and the US – will have to really invade Lebanon – which will also fail.
Lol… Nice Ferry tail Lie Danny…!
Live Feed Al Mansar Wednesday local time:
“….11:58 Israeli media: Medical teams tried to resuscitate an Israeli soldier who was critically wounded at the border with Lebanon, but their efforts failed….”
Seems yet another IDF probe got throughly mauled. The IDF units staging in Galilee are also getting pummeled daily.
Likud needs to sue for peace ASAP
This could be a Psy-Op by the IDF to assess the extent of damage to Hezbollah intelligence, C&C and surveillance capabilities before an actual invasion. Last week's attacks on Hezbollah were devastating. Aside from Nasrallah, Hezbollah's leadership is decimated, the pager attack damaged or destroyed their communications network and killed or disabled a lot of mid level commanders. The operation revealed major intelligence failure in Hezbollah and indicated likely Israeli infiltration of Hezbollah command.
Iran's retaliatory strike appears to have been a tactical failure that inflicted only minor damage on Israel. Al Jazeera analysts are predicting a major Israeli attack on Iran's nuclear facilities.
It will be a long time, if ever, before Hezbollah reorganizes and becomes a viable deterrent against Israeli aggression against Iran.
If Israel attacks Iran, it may be the first use of nuclear weapons since Nagasaki.
I am surprised that Hamas proved to be a more resilient resistance force than Hezbollah. Hamas appears to be able to continue to effectively resist the Israeli genocide. But it will be a long time before they can count on support from Hezbollah again.
You must be smoking the good shit.
Those opposing Israel claim Israel wants rhe US to send troops while Israel is only good at bombing women and children.
Judging by the last 60 years, the US isn't much good at anything other than bombing women and children… and sewage treatment plants, journalists and TV stations.
As in 2006, the IDF is getting the crap kicked out of it. Reports suggest 20-30 wounded IDF and 2 killed.
