In a bold and devastating move, Hezbollah launched a precise ambush on Israeli forces in southern Lebanon, targeting their fortified positions and inflicting significant damage. The operation included a series of rocket barrages and guided missile strikes, culminating in the destruction of a Merkava tank west of Chama, resulting in heavy casualties among the tank's crew. Hezbollah fighters also targeted Israeli troop concentrations in multiple settlements, including Avivim, Meron, and Nahariya, while expanding their strikes into urban areas. The assault highlights Hezbollah's increasing use of FPV drones for precise attacks and its strategic reach across southern Lebanon, northern Israel, and the occupied Syrian Golan. This operation comes as part of Hezbollah's ongoing support for Palestinian resistance in Gaza and defense of Lebanonβs sovereignty.
