“The past few days have witnessed a notable increase in the number of daily operations carried out by the Islamic Resistance, reaching a new record of 48 operations on Friday, October 25, 2024, since the beginning of Al-Aqsa Flood Battle.”
The statement gave sufficient details about the ground confrontations, as follows.
1. Ground confrontations:
The vicinity and some neighborhoods of the front-line villages in southern Lebanon along the Lebanese-Palestinian border have seen numerous attempts by the “Israeli” enemy army to advance towards these villages with the aim of occupying and controlling them. The Islamic Resistance fighters have confronted these attempts across multiple fronts as follows:
• First Front: Area of operations of the enemy’s 146th Division, extending from Al-Naqoura in the west to Marwahin in the east.
The enemy forces made several attempts to infiltrate towards the southern neighborhoods of the villages of Marwahin, Dhayra, Yarin, and Al-Matmura, aiming to rig houses with explosives and destroy them for fear they might be used by the fighters. They also set fire to the forests between the towns of Alma Al-Shaab and Dhayra. The Islamic Resistance fighters repelled these attempts and targeted the enemy’s concentrations and advance routes on the outskirts of Marwahin and southern Dhayra with appropriate weapons, inflicting heavy losses on their personnel and vehicles, forcing the enemy’s leadership to significantly reduce the number of troops in the 146th Division in this front.
• Second Front: Area of operations of the enemy’s 36th Division, extending from Ramya in the west to Rmeish in the east (including Aita Al-Shaab), and from Rmeish to Aitaroun in the east.
Following precise intelligence surveillance of the movements of the “Israeli” enemy around the town of Aita Al-Shaab and some of its neighborhoods, the Islamic Resistance fighters ambushed an “Israeli” force that advanced towards the “Abu Al-Laban” hill east of the town early on Thursday, October 24, 2024. Upon the arrival of the force at the ambush point, the fighters engaged in close combat with enemy officers and soldiers for hours. The fighters who participated in the ambush confirmed the death of more than 5 enemy soldiers and numerous wounded whose screams were heard at the scene.
On the other side, when some enemy groups attempted to advance towards the center of Aitaroun from the eastern neighborhoods, the fighters of the Resistance targeted them with heavy rocket fire and artillery shells repeatedly, resulting in several deaths and injuries among them, which forced the enemy forces to retreat to less exposed areas.
• Third Front: Area of operations of the enemy’s 91st Division, extending from Blida in the south to Houla in the north.
The Islamic Resistance fighters lured an “Israeli” force, reinforced with a Merkava tank, towards the eastern neighborhoods of the town of Houla and targeted it with a guided missile, resulting in its destruction and burning, as well as killing and wounding its crew and the force stationed behind it.
Additionally, the fire support unit of the Islamic Resistance targeted enemy concentrations and gatherings at the outskirts and in some neighborhoods of Houla.
• Fourth Front: Area of operations of the enemy’s 98th Division, extending from Markaba in the south to the occupied Lebanese village of Al-Ghajar in the northeast.
The Islamic Resistance fighters were able to destroy several enemy tanks that attempted to advance towards the town of Odaisseh in recent days and targeted enemy concentrations in and around several neighborhoods in the towns of Houla, Markaba, and Rab Thalathin. The Resistance intensified its fire over the past two days towards enemy concentrations in the vicinity of Fatima Gate at the Lebanese-Palestinian border opposite the town of Kfar Kila.
• Fifth Front: Area of operations of the enemy’s 210th Division, extending from the village of Al-Ghajar to the occupied Lebanese Shebaa Farms.
The Islamic Resistance fighters repeatedly and intensively targeted numerous enemy attempts to advance in the outskirts of the towns of Kfar Shuba and Shebaa to seize the heights. The enemy intentionally set fire to the forests in the area for fear of any offensive operation by the Resistance.
