Hezbollah persists in frustrating Israeli forces in the Khiam region
The Israeli military has faced significant challenges in making progress in southern Lebanon, with the town of Khiam presenting formidable obstacles due to the strong resistance from Hezbollah.
Amid a protracted six-day confrontation, Hezbollah has persistently repelled Israeli efforts to seize the southern Lebanese town of Khiam, as reported by the Lebanese news outlet Al Mayadeen.
The resistance movement has continued its strategic efforts to maximize casualties among the Israeli occupation forces’ 210th Division, a tactic mirrored in their approach to other conflict zones.
Israeli military operations, including continuous airstrikes, artillery fire, and ground assaults under Operation al-Aqsa Flood, have yet to overcome Hezbollah’s defenses in the town of Khiam. This ongoing confrontation marks the second attempt by Israeli forces to advance into the area, but they have encountered significant resistance with no breakthroughs reported at this time.
On Saturday, intense clashes broke out west of Khiam, as explosions and heavy gunfire persisted into the morning. Throughout the night, resistance fighters deployed numerous drones and launched barrages of rockets aimed at concentrations of Israeli forces in the region.
Reports from the scene indicate that the strikes have significantly impacted Israeli command structures, resulting in numerous injuries and prompting a strategic withdrawal of forces to the al-Omra area, located south of Khiam.
Israeli military units were observed withdrawing in an easterly direction, moving with their vehicles towards Wadi al-Khiam, which is situated near the border.
