Four Hamas gunmen who "posed an immediate threat to troops" were killed in Israeli strikes in the Gaza Strip yesterday, the military says.
In Gaza, all men of military age were deemed legitimate targets.

“And military age is really open to interpretation,” said Jonathan.

“It could be from 16 to 60 or even younger...Most of the people that my unit killed were not armed.”

Attacks on Kfartabneet, Kherbet Selem, Majdal Selem

Ali-Taher hill has been attacked non-stop with phosphorous and lightening shells

There is an extreme and dramatic decrease in the use of FPVs and it is unknown if Israeli attacks are suppressing the units or they are trying to shelter from the airstrikes.

Despite dozens of Israeli airstrike and turning the area into a kill zone, Hezbullah was able to engage several Israeli tanks and vehicles with ATGMs and FPVs in all 3 Israeli sectors of advances

Ghandourieh, Deddine, and Shqif.

Some time were subjected to more than 15-20 airstrikes in a matter of few hours, knowing well that most towns have less than 15-20 defenders.

Hezbullah confirmed Israeli vehicles were damaged and casualties evacuated. IED were used, especially in Ghandourieh where the Israeli army withdrew.

That's true and that's the only way of warfare possible to counter the Israeli air superiority and firepower

Since Lebanon doesn't have a static line of defense or defenses, it is the only way to operate.

It's not a favorable mode either because what do you mean to tell you have to enter locked houses everytime you have to access a viewpoint to engage and you lose the advantage of topography as the IDF shields its movement using it and gets out of your line of sight.

The Hebrew:

From the very beginning and throughout the ground maneuver in Lebanon, we repeatedly announced that Hezbollah would wait for the moment when the IDF would stand still to strike. A classic guerrilla that is not impressed by concepts such as dynamic mobile defense. What is happening now was expected due to failed political management and a military move disconnected from a political move.

I was always against the 100k figure and I mentioned before and was attacked.

100k might be the total of all fighters that joined Hezbullah and peaked during the Syrian war

However many retired, many left years ago, many were reserves unable to participate anymore, many were counted as duplicate (being in paid administrative roles and being forced to work in the reserves too)

As for the towns, each town is usually defended by the local units and supplemented by Ridwan unit. Depending on the population, the former was small or big.

Some towns barely had a group of 13 fighters and was working to recruit another (years ago)

Again, numbers here in south Lebanon aren't as usual. This is why Hezbullah operates in units of 3 fighters to minimize casualties.

Israeli airstrikes are devasting and some of the most accurate in the world, more experienced than even the Americans. Having many fighters is usual when Infantry is fighting infantry

But when you put jets, drones, suicide vehicles, artillery and all war toys given to the jews? You cannot defend a static line for long and opt to make them pay a cost in deaths for each advance and then attack when they are in static positions of occupation

You have to preserve fighters or each battle is a massacre.

What bothers me, not saying Hezbullah is astaghfirullah, but the situation, is that aside from Aitaroun in the first day of the old war, not a single battle has been costly for the Israeli army during the phase of advance.

There are many factors and that's understandable.

And yes, Hezbullah has enough more fighters to resume and can always recruit. Hezbullah's recruits have never been forced or mandatory. It's a rare thing in the MENA. It's truly volunteers.

However it is draining for the Shia community and straining when the Lebanese government is against you and Israel has depopulated all your centers.

Lebanon is at a crossroads here and it's not easy at all. Berri being this old too is going to affect how Shia can project power in Lebanon to protect themselves from being preys of everyone who want to see them oppressed again.

Hezbullah inshallah has good leadership and the bravest fighters and with just more patience, the situation might become better.

Eventually what is the IDF going to do? Push into Tyre and then Nabatieh? Push into Sidon and then Beirut?

Eventually they will leave

The role of every single Shia diaspora to prepare themselves to financially support their families back in Lebanon snd the community to overcome the displacement and then in rebuilding their towns and homes.

Preserving the community is a moral and religious duty.

You can see the town and the castle/fort on the right

Seems the IDF despite a 200+ airstrike couldn't secure the small town yet

In lalaland, some 250 people from southern Lebanon signed a paper asking the Lebanese government and army to deploy in south Lebanon to protect.

These people are delusional and as if the government and army haven't been here since 2006

Worse? The Israeli army literally attacked the Lebanese State's buildings in Nabatieh a month ago and killed 11-13 members of the Lebanese State Security personnel.

Was the government not there to protect Nabatieh or is the Israeli army simply too criminal to care?

24 Lebanese army soldiers have been killed so far in south Lebanon and almost twice that number injured. Was the Lebanese army not there?

Stop blaming the victim and start channeling your hate towards Israel you dumb dimwits

Defend The Land

Now then, surely jihād is one of the doors of Paradise, which Allāh has opened for His chief friends. It is the dress of piety and the protective armour of Allāh and His trustworthy shield. Whoever abandons it Allāh covers him with the dress of disgrace and the clothes of distress. He is kicked with contempt and scorn, and his heart is veiled with screens (of neglect). Truth is taken away from him because of missing jihād. He has to suffer ignominy and justice is denied to him.

Beware! I called you (insistingly) to fight these people night and day, secretly and openly and exhorted you to attack them before they attacked you, because by Allāh, no people have been attacked in the hearts of their houses but they suffered disgrace; but you put it off to others and forsook it till destruction befell you and your cities were occupied. The horsemen of Banu Ghamid have reached al-Anbār and killed Ḥassān ibn Ḥassān al-Bakri. They have removed your horsemen from the garrison.

I have come to know that every one of them entered upon Muslim women and other women under protection of Islam and took away their ornaments from legs, arms, necks and ears and no woman could resist it except by pronouncing the verse, “We are for Allāh and to Him we shall return.” (Qur’ān, 2:156) Then they got back laden with wealth without any wound or loss of life. If any Muslim dies of grief after all this he is not to be blamed but rather there is justification for him before me.


How strange! how strange! By Allāh my heart sinks to see the unity of these people on their wrong and your dispersion from your right. Woe and grief befall you. You have become the target at which arrows are shot. You are being killed and you do not kill. You are being attacked but you do not attack. Allāh is being disobeyed and you remain agreeable to it. When I ask you to move against them in summer you say it is hot weather. Spare us till heat subsides from us. When I order you to march in winter you say it is severely cold; give us time till cold clears from us. These are just excuses for evading heat or cold because if you run away from heat and cold; you would be, by Allāh, running away (in a greater degree) from sword (war).

O you semblances of men, not men, your intelligence is that of children and your wit is that of the occupants of the curtained canopies (women kept in seclusion from the outside world). I wish I had not seen you nor known you. By Allāh, this acquaintance has brought about shame and resulted in repentance. May Allāh fight you! you have filled my heart with puss and loaded my bosom with rage. You made me drink mouthful of grief one after the other. You shattered my counsel by disobeying and leaving me so much so that Quraysh started saying that the son of Abī Ṭālib is brave but does not know (tactics of) war. Allāh bless them! Is any one of them more fierce in war and more older in it than I am? I rose for it although yet within twenties, and here I am, have crossed over sixty, but one who is not obeyed can have no opinion.

❗️Hezbullah continues to fire rockets at Israeli settlements in response to renewed Israeli ground invasion into Lebanon

Hezbullah officially confirms: We are fighting and the towns are not lost yet

Statement:

The Islamic Resistance have been confronting, since dawn on Tuesday, May 26, 2026, and continuing up to the moment this statement is issued, with utmost valor and might, the enemy army’s advance toward the outskirts of the towns of Zawtar al-Sharqiyah, Yahmar al-Shaqif, and Debbine.

This is being achieved by targeting the hostile forces through complex operations employing various types of weaponry.

In these confrontations, the enemy has sustained heavy losses in both personnel and equipment; to date, it has been unable to seize control of the aforementioned towns and continues to maneuver along their outskirts.
