🇱🇧 HEZBOLLAH THWARTS ISRAELI INFILTRATION behind UN base in Labbouneh, west-south Lebanon (right map) where Israel takes advantage of Irish UN peacekeeper presence, using them as human shields to bypass Hezbollah attacks and use them as entry points.

However, Hezbollah was one step ahead of the game, attacking the infiltrating Israelis, killing and wounding many of Tel Aviv's forces (documented report in left video) while setting ablaze vehicles.

🙃 ZIONIST OCCUPATION SOLDIERS BRAG ABOUT LOOTING, DESTROYING HOMES in south Lebanon belonging to families forced to flee from Israeli bombardment and threat of invasion.

Borrowing from their Gaza playbook to film themselves blowing up family houses, taking pictures, IDs and memorabilia, and looting cash (which, in devalued Lebanese currency is like $10 dollars) in above photos and video.

Essentially, this is the IDF's coping mechanism after being fought back and destroyed at every entry point by Hezbollah.

🇮🇱🇱🇧 HEZBOLLAH IS SHATTERED AND LEADERLESS, NASRALLAH'S SUCCESSOR LIKELY DEAD - claims Israeli Defense Minister Gallant in PR statement, easing panic of citizens after Lebanese resistance launched +100 rockets on Haifa in one of biggest attacks on Israel's 3rd-largest city, proving complete opposite of his wishful thinking.

When smoke clears over Lebanon, Iran will realize it lost its prized asset, Hezbollah, built over many years, is an exhausted and broken organization without significant firepower

A year into war, Hamas is dismantled, Hezbollah is a shattered with no command or control, politically or militarily - Gallant says, while Hezb fighters crushing his genocidal invading troops in South Lebanon.

Following IDF's assassination of Hezbollah's co-founder Abbas al-Musawi in 1992, Israeli newspapers (see above) celebrated "Age of tussling with Hezbollah over. Musawi’s death marks beginning of new era” and "Cutting head of snake will stop spread of this cancer for long run", only for Lebanese resistance to emerge stronger with Nasrallah - looks like they will never learn how resistance works.
