A Hezbollah-affiliated source claims the IDF has failed its sixth attempt to capture a ground site in southern Lebanon, reporting the military attacked with artillery, tank fire, and white phosphorus near the target, while Hezbollah fired anti-tank guided missiles and rockets. The IDF has not commented on the claim.
A Hezbollah-affiliated channel on Telegram reported Saturday evening that the IDF made a sixth attempt to capture a specific site in southern Lebanon last night, and that the attempt failed. According to the claim, the IDF attempted to flank the position from the west, supported by artillery, white phosphorus, and tank fire. The source added that Hezbollah operatives returned fire with anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs) and rocket artillery.
The report, which is unverified by Israeli official sources, said IDF artillery fire continued in the area on Saturday as well, suggesting another assault attempt may be forthcoming. The IDF has not commented on the claim. The site's exact location was not specified.
This follows several weeks of intermittent clashes during ongoing IDF ground operations in southern Lebanon, where Hezbollah has routinely claimed attacks on Israeli forces. The Zioneer has previously reported on Hezbollah claims of hitting Israeli vehicles near al-Tibnah and artillery exchanges around Tabnit and the Ali al-Taher ridge area, though none of the prior reports have been independently confirmed.
