Hezbollah inflicts casualties on Israeli troops invading southern Lebanon

Hezbollah said it carried out a “huge explosion” on the Israeli troops on Friday evening, forcing the Israelis to retreat and inflicting casualties and injuries on them.

“In support of our steadfast Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and in support of their valiant and honorable resistance, in defense of Lebanon and its people, and in response to the barbaric ‘Israeli’ violation of cities, villages and civilians, and when a hostile ‘Israeli’ infantry force attempted to advance towards the vicinity of the municipality in the town of Odaisseh, the fighters of the Islamic Resistance, at 11:00 pm on Friday 4-10-2024, engaged in clashes with the advancing force,” Hezbollah said in a statement.

“This led to a massive explosion within the advancing unit, forcing it to retreat and inflicting deaths and injuries among their ranks,” it added.

In the second statement issued hours after this first one, Hezbollah said "Israeli enemy soldiers once again attempted to advance towards the vicinity of the municipality in the town of Al-Odaisseh at 01:50 AM on Saturday 10-5-2024, so the fighters of the Islamic Resistance confronted the attempt to advance, and the clashes are continuing.”

In two other statements issued following this first one, Hezbollah confirmed that the fighters of the Islamic Resistance bombed a group of Israeli enemy soldiers in ‘Kfar Yuval’ with a rocket barrage and another group in Khallet Abeer in Yiron with a rocket barrage.

Hezbollah has been responding to the aggression with numerous retaliatory operations, including with hypersonic ballistic missiles, targeting the occupied Palestinian territories.
