Military Experts Discuss Hezbollah's Tactical Genius in Blocking Israeli Military Advances
Israeli occupation forces have escalated their air operations in southern Lebanon, targeting ambulance centres and civilian defence infrastructure. Analysts describe these attacks as targeting ‘easy targets’ amid Israel’s stalled ground advances along three main axes, which have been met with strong resistance from Hezbollah fighters. Military strategist Brigadier General Hassan Jouni stated that Hezbollah’s combat rules established over the past ten days—using drones, precision strikes, and battlefield manoeuvres—have significantly curbed Israel’s attack effectiveness. During a military analysis session, Jouni explained that the Israeli army is attempting to strengthen what is termed the ‘yellow line’, targeting approximately 55 towns and villages to be placed under Israeli military presence within a 4 to 10-kilometre security belt along the border. The line stretches from Naqoura through areas such as Al-Shamiyah, Al-Shaab, Bint Jbeil, and Al-Adaisseh. According to Jouni, Israel aims to use this line as a frontline defence for its border regions, but so far, it has not fully secured the area. He added that fighting is currently ongoing across three main axes: between Deir Siryan and Zoutr El Sharqiyeh, and between Aita and Hadatha, with high intensity in the Buyut Al-Sayyid area over the past two days. Journalist Mohammad Rammal, using an interactive map, explained that recent air strikes have targeted ambulance centres in the Tyre district.
