Heavy clashes continue between Israeli forces and Hezbollah fighters on the southern and eastern fronts of the town of Zotar. Current information indicates that Israeli forces are positioned south and east of Zotar, and have come under attack by Hezbollah fighters near three points: Bustan Zatam, the Al-Kashfi Complex, the Cultural Complex, and Tallet al-Khazzan.
Despite the two-month deadline under the ceasefire agreement for the withdrawal of Israeli troops from southern Lebanon having expired, some border areas remain under Zionist control.
The Israeli army has started the second phase of ground operations in southern Lebanon since Thursday. The main scenario of the second phase is that the Israeli military expands its sphere of influence in the southern border of Lebanon to the towns and villages where Hezbollah is located and the source of rocket and artillery attacks. After taking control, the Israeli army will destroy as many villages as possible. This phase focuses solely on destruction, while the following phases may involve retreat.
The Israeli regime’s army has withdrawn from the Lebanese town of Meiss El-Jabal and the villages of Rab El-Thalathine and Markaba as its ground operations in the border areas of southern Lebanon still continue. There have been no changes on the fronts of Shebaa Farms, Kfar Kila, Houla, and other border areas in southern Lebanon.
The southern Lebanon fronts have witnessed a decrease in the scale of ground assaults by the Israeli regime’s army, while airstrikes continue in southern, eastern, and central Lebanon in recent days.
The Israeli regime’s ground attack on Lebanon and Syria is a significant and dangerous threat. The probability of its occurrence increased greatly after the recent developments in the region, especially after the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh and Seyed Hassan Nasrallah. Now, with the provision of all the necessary conditions, the Zionist regime appears to be seeking to start the third Lebanon war.
