Hezbollah claims it ambushed Israeli Forces at Lebanese Border, forced them to retreat
Beirut: Hezbollah announced on Wednesday that it had repelled an Israeli infantry force attempting to infiltrate the Lebanese town of Odaisseh at dawn, claiming to have inflicted casualties on the Israeli soldiers and forcing them to retreat. The clashes occurred amid rising tensions along the Lebanon-Israel border.
Videos circulating on social media show nearly 20 ambulances positioned in northern Israel, prepared to receive wounded soldiers being evacuated from the Lebanese border area by helicopter. Israeli media confirmed a "serious security incident" along the border, with hospitals in northern Israel on high alert to handle potential casualties.
While the Israeli military acknowledged intense clashes between its soldiers and Hezbollah fighters at the border, it did not release specific details on the number of casualties.
In a statement, Hezbollah said the confrontation was part of their operations "in support of our steadfast Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip" and in defense of Lebanon. The group claimed to have ambushed Israeli soldiers attempting to infiltrate from Odaisseh and Kfar Kila.
Israeli airstrikes on Hezbollah positions in Beirut's southern suburbs continue, following months of heightened cross-border attacks. The Lebanese Ministry of Health’s Emergency Response Center reported that Israeli strikes on Lebanon over the past year have resulted in the deaths of 1,873 people and left 9,134 wounded. More than 100,000 people have been displaced due to the escalating conflict.
Despite suffering heavy losses in recent weeks, Hezbollah insists it remains prepared to confront any potential Israeli invasion of Lebanese territory.
