The Israeli occupation's assault on Lebanon entered its 25th day, following a bloody night for Israeli forces at the Aita Al-Shaab-Al-Qouzah-Ramiyeh triangle.
Resistance fighters fiercely repelled the occupation’s attempt to capture Al-Karmel Hill in Al-Qouzah.
The Israeli military, still withholding details about the “severe incident” in the north, responded with heavy air and artillery strikes to cover up its substantial losses.
These same brutal tactics are repeatedly used against Lebanese civilians, destroying homes and livelihoods under the guise of targeting resistance positions, underscoring the cowardly and imbalanced nature of the conflict.
Amid this ongoing aggression, Lebanon’s Ministry of Health announced on Wednesday that 17 people had been martyred and 182 wounded in the last 24 hours alone, raising the total toll since the start of the conflict on October 8, 2023, to 2,367 martyrs and 11,106 injured.
Late Wednesday night and into Thursday, Israeli occupation forces escalated their attacks with more airstrikes and artillery bombardment, particularly on border villages, where fierce clashes continue as Islamic resistance forces fend off Israeli enemy infiltration attempts across multiple fronts.
