The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon's Operations Room
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/hezbollah--infiltration-attempts-failed--warning-to-settlers>
highlighted
that both the missile and air forces of Hezbollah are persistently
targeting Israeli occupation military bases and settlements deep in
northern occupied Palestine, describing this effort as "a gradual
escalation, day by day."

They further noted that all of these military operations by the Islamic
Resistance in Lebanon have been conducted "with high-level, real-time
coordination between the leadership of the Islamic Resistance and the
operations room, extending to the brothers stationed on the front lines."

Additionally, the Operations Room stressed that "days after announcing the
start of its so-called land maneuver in southern Lebanon, [Israel] cannot
show its tanks and military vehicles to the Lebanese side, for fear of
their being targeted, and places them in unexposed places," adding that
these vehicles have nevertheless been targeted by missiles and artillery
shells, inflicting heavy losses.

The statement also confirmed that, as of the time of its release, the
Israeli occupation forces had "failed to secure control over any of the
strategic hills they aimed to capture." Instead, they have only managed to
reach a few homes on the outskirts of some border villages, primarily for
photo ops and media stunts
