Hezbollah warned the Israeli enemy on Friday against any treachery act in violation of the ten-day ceasefire in Lebanon, stressing that the Islamic Resistance fighters will keep their hands on the trigger.

In a statement, the resistance group’s Military Media announced that between March 2 and April 16, the Islamic Resistance issued 1,828 statements detailing the execution of 2,184 distinct military operations against the Israeli enemy.

“In defense of Lebanon and its people, the Islamic Resistance waged Op. Eaten Straw for 45 days, during which it etched a series of heroic battlefield epics,” the statement read.

“We confronted the occupation forces inside Lebanese territory and targeted their positions, barracks, and military bases within the occupied territories,” it added.

The resistance operations included direct engagements, missile fire, and the deployment of attack drones, targeting Israeli settlements and cities from the Lebanese border to depths of up to 160 kilometers, reaching beyond Tel Aviv, in response to Israeli strikes against civilians and the extensive destruction of infrastructure and homes, the resistance group stated.

“The resistance fighters conducted their operations at an average rate of approximately 49 per day, reflecting sustained readiness and continuity in field activity.”

Hezbollah stressed that despite its vast intelligence capabilities and overwhelming firepower, the Israeli war machine has failed to deter the Islamic Resistance fighters from continuing to rise and carry out their duties.

“The Mujahideen (resistance fighters) will keep their hands on the trigger to respond to any treachery act by the Israeli enemy,” the statement warned.

“The Mujahideen pledge to the Secretary of the Resistance, Al-Qassem, and to its honorable and proud people that they will remain faithful to their oath until their last breath, and that their banner will never fall,” Hezbollah concluded the statement, referring to Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem.
