AhlulBayt News Agency: Hezbollah says the Lebanese resistance fighters have repelled an infiltration attempt by Israeli forces in several southern border areas.
Hezbollah said Wednesday that its fighters engaged in ground clashes with the regime’s infantry and forced them to retreat from the town of Odaisseh.
The fighters then were battling Israeli soldiers "who infiltrated the village of Maroun al-Ras,” Hezbollah said.
In an earlier statement, Hezbollah said it had forced Israeli soldiers to withdraw after they attempted to infiltrate the border village of Adaysseh further northeast.
The Lebanese army also confirmed that Israeli forces had briefly “breached the Blue Line by approximately 400 meters (yards) into Lebanese territory" in two areas, "then withdrew a short time later.”
At the same time, Hezbollah said it conducted a series of attacks on Israeli soldiers stationed along the boundary with Lebanon, targeting three different military positions with rockets and artillery fire, achieving "direct hits.”
Separately, Hezbollah said it attacked an infantry force in the settlement of Misgav Am with rockets and artillery.
The resistance media Chief Mohammad Afif said on Wednesday that Hezbollah has enough fighters, weapons and ammunition to push back the regime’s forces from the country.
Israel claimed on Tuesday it had begun “limited, localized, and targeted ground raids” in southern Lebanon.
On Wednesday, the regime’s media admitted that the military is engaged in a "very unusual and extremely difficult event," involving the evacuation of casualties from the border area using at least four helicopters.
The military also acknowledged that its troops fell into an ambush set by Hezbollah. It said the Lebanese group is attempting to target concentrations of the Israeli military.
