Hezbollah fighters have downed 2 US-funded Israeli Hermes 450 drones, and destroyed 4 Israeli military vehicles in one attack.
The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon has conducted 24 operations against the Israeli occupation as the confrontations along the southern Lebanese borders with occupied Palestine continue.\
Israeli officials have repeated their stated goal for this assault on their neighbor to the north, saying they intend to turn Lebanon into “another Gaza” – meaning destroying 90% of the infrastructure, turning it to rubble, depopulating and ethnically cleansing huge areas, then expanding Israeli territory by force onto the territory seized by their military – as has been done every year by the Israeli military since their complete military occupation over all of historic Palestine began in 1967.
