TEHRAN - Hezbollah continues to show it is a formidable fighting force by killing seven more Israeli troops on the Lebanese border with occupied Palestine.

The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) said two officers were among those killed in combat with the Lebanese resistance fighters. Dozens more have sustained injuries. The number of fatalities is expected to rise.  

According to official Israeli announcements and army data, October has been the deadliest month for the Israeli army. 

The IOF announced that 594 of its soldiers were wounded on the northern front since the start of the botched ground invasion into southern Lebanon. However, statements by Hezbollah indicate the number of injuries exceeds 1,000 Israeli troops. 

In the space of just two hours on Monday, Hezbollah said it had targeted gathering of Israeli soldiers four times at Fatima Gate on the southern border. Two of the four strikes used a barrage of rockets while others used mortar shells.

Footage has been published of the scenes showing Hezbollah forces confronting the incursion of the Israeli troops in the vicinity of the towns of Taybeh and Rub Thalatheen on the southern border.

The IOF has been unsuccessful in its invasion of southern Lebanon. One month after the initial attempt to invade southern Lebanon with ground operations, no areas have fallen to IOF control. Analysts say the Israeli army has resorted to hit-and-run raids inside the Lebanese territory. 

Nir Dvori, the military correspondent for Israeli Channel 12, revealed that three Hezbollah fighters confronted an Israeli force, injuring and killing 20 of them.

The Israeli news outlet Haaretz has reported, “It is impossible to ignore the price involved in continuing the fighting for a long time. The greatest danger lies in Lebanon, and Hezbollah has already begun a certain path toward recovery, after appointing new leaders to replace many of the leaders who were killed.”

Hezbollah issued a fresh warning on Monday to the northern Israeli settlement of Kiryat Shmona stating: “To those [still] residing in the settlement, you are required to evacuate immediately.”

This follows Hezbollah’s evacuation orders for dozens of settlements in northern Israel and the occupied Golan in which the Lebanese resistance movement warned settlers that the Israeli military “is using your settlements to attack Lebanon”. 

‘’For your own safety, you are required to leave these areas,’’ Hezbollah added.   

In separate operations waged by Hezbollah’s missile forces on Monday, the resistance targeted the “Yodfat Military Industries Company southeast of Acra with an attack drone that accurately hit its target.”

The site has come under attack for the second consecutive day further highlighting Hezbollah’s ability to evade Israeli defense systems. 

In a series of other operations, a Hezbollah drone made impact in Liman in northwestern Israel, resulting in a fire.

As Hezbollah focuses its attack on Israeli military targets, the IOF continues to indiscriminately bombard neighborhoods in Lebanon, targeting and killing an increasing number of civilians.
