The statement also said the group attacked Palmachim military air base, south of Tel Aviv, and 140 km from the Lebanese border, with a special missile as a clear message to the regime about the capabilities of resistance in attacking its strategic resources in occupied territories.

In border regions and during the ground war, Hezbollah fighters managed to stop the Israeli regime’s mechanized units from advancing towards al-Khayam and Maron-al-Ras towns and dealt heavy damage to them.

According to the statement during an ambush, the resistance fighters managed to destroy 3 Merkava tanks and kill or wound all of their operatives.

Meanwhile, the Israeli regime reported on Monday that its forces, especially the 91st army, performed limited operations in southern Lebanon.

During a security Cabinet meeting, the Israeli Minister of Military Affairs, Israel Katz emphasized that the goal of the regime’s aggression against Lebanon must be the occupation of the southern regions of the Arab country.
