Hezbollah claimed on Saturday that Israeli forces advanced toward an area near Nabatieh in southern Lebanon overnight, and threatened to confront any Israeli attempt to seize Lebanese land. The claim is unverified and the IDF has not commented.
The Lebanese terror group Hezbollah claimed on Saturday afternoon that IDF ground forces advanced toward an area near the city of Nabatieh in southern Lebanon during the night. In a statement circulated via its media apparatus, the group threatened: 'We will not hesitate to confront any attempt by Israel to seize land in Lebanon.'
The claim is the latest in a series of Hezbollah assertions regarding IDF ground movements in southern Lebanon over the past two weeks. As The Zioneer has reported, previous Hezbollah statements have acknowledged Israeli forces operating near the villages of Tebnit, Yahoun, and Ghendourieh, south of the Litani River. The group's claims are often made for propaganda purposes and are not independently verified. The IDF has not officially commented on this specific report.
It remains unclear whether the alleged advance represents a new axis of Israeli ground activity or a continuation of existing operations in the Nabatieh direction.
