Multiple Resistance Operations Against Israeli Invasion of Southern Lebanon

Multiple reports, even from bourgeois media, admit that Israel has underestimated the military capabilities of Hezbollah, and that no further headway is being made in its assault on southern Lebanon.
According to a report by the Financial Times, prior to the Israeli invasion of Southern Lebanon on the 2nd of March, the perception was that Hezbollah had been completely “crushed” in the war of 2024, or at least that was the promise given to Israeli settlers occupying the northern border of Israel. Even Israeli military officers, including the general in charge of the IDF’s northern command, admits that the resistance is stronger than they expected.
So far, the official numbers admitted by the State of Israel indicates that up to 17 Israeli soldiers have been eliminated, and dozens more wounded.
It is, for the Israeli aggression, in this desperate context that they now have escalated once again their bombardments of civilian targets in southern Lebanon. On Saturday, Israel carried out extensive drone strikes, artillery shelling, and demolition operations on southern Lebanon, murdering ten people, in yet another breach of the ongoing ceasefire.
According to The Palestine Chronicle, Israeli warplanes targeted more than 35 towns and villages across southern Lebanon, focusing heavily on Tyre and Nabatieh districts.
Israel has also struck the suburbs of the capital, Beirut, in what some call the first time since the initiation of the ceasefire. However, Israel carried out a massacre just one day after they agreed to the ceasefire, striking multiple targets in the suburbs of Beirut as well, and murdering more than 250 people across Lebanon.
All this aggression has naturally not gone unanswered, and Hezbollah has reported many defensive operations in an answer to these new escalations, targeting not only Israeli positions within the “security zone” but also striking Israeli settlements and military positions in northern Israel.
In the newly established Israeli Nimr Al-Jamal site opposite the southern Lebanese town of Alma Al-Shaab, a successful drone strike eliminated a soldier attempting to flee a Merkava tank.
In the town of Al-Bayyada, Hezbollah has successfully eliminated two soldiers, and some newly developed Israeli technology via drone strikes.
According to Al Mayadeen, a drone strike took out a newly developed Iron Dome air defense system, containing around 20 interceptor missiles designed specifically to counter drones and aerial threats. Additionally, they report that resistance combatants destroyed what was described as a fourth-generation Israeli tank during operations in al-Bayada.
