2024-03-11 17:08:26

The Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported that the losses suffered by Hezbollah in southern Lebanon over the course of 5 months did not stop the appetite of Hassan Nasrallah, who continues to run a front against Israel. It reviewed the damage to infrastructure and Hezbollah members.

In a report entitled “Hezbollah’s losses, which insist on continuing the fighting,” the newspaper explained that since the organization joined the war against Israel as a supporting front on October 8, it has been boasting about its actions and the losses it is inflicting on Israel, ignoring the serious damage that its actions have caused in southern Lebanon, and insisting To fight as long as the war in Gaza continues.

The newspaper said that Hezbollah bragged in recent days that it had carried out, during the past five months, nearly 1,200 operations against Israel against Israeli bases, settlements, and open areas, noting that the number of its deaths reached 241, but the Israeli army says they are more than 300. This means approximately two deaths every day.

The newspaper adds that Hezbollah continues to insist that it will not close the financial front as long as the fighting in Gaza continues, despite the number of casualties, pointing out that Nasrallah in his last speech announced that the organization deals with the killing of civilians and the killing of activists from its ranks differently, saying: “When We talk about dead fighters, this is normal, but when we talk about civilians, the matter is particularly sensitive for us. We do not tolerate the injury of civilians. The enemy must understand that he has gone too far,” threatening that “the price of civilian blood will be blood.” “.

Yedioth Ahronoth indicated that since the beginning of the war, the Israeli army has attacked Hezbollah targets thousands of times by various means, from the air using fighter planes, drones, and artillery, explaining that the attacks targeted headquarters, military buildings, ammunition depots, anti-tank missile launch sites, observation points, and infrastructure. Infrastructure for organization.

She also explained that targeting the infrastructure being attacked causes personal damage to Hezbollah members, most of whom live and work from southern villages, and turn civilian sites, including their homes, into targets for Israeli attacks, pointing out that the villages have become deserted after the displacement of tens of thousands of people. Its residents move to safer areas towards the north, in addition to economic damage.

The material damage resulting from the fighting between Israel and Lebanon last month was estimated at about 1.2 billion dollars, and George Hayek, a member of the Central Council of the “Lebanese Forces” party, which follows a line contrary to Hezbollah, estimated a few days ago on his account on the “X” platform that “520 homes were destroyed.” Completely and another 3,300 partially, in addition to infrastructure, electricity, roads and vast agricultural lands.”

The newspaper quoted the Lebanese Minister of Agriculture in an interview conducted about two months ago that “the Israeli attacks burned 50,000 olive trees and thousands of dunams of agricultural land,” which are the places where Hezbollah members often hide when they fire toward Israel.

Last week, a Hezbollah member was killed in an attack in such a place. According to the Lebanese National News Agency, he was an “agricultural worker” who preferred to remain in southern Lebanon and work.

According to the newspaper, Hezbollah suffered losses throughout the war in its health institutions, and specifically a center affiliated with the “Islamic Health Authority” was attacked last week, causing a number of casualties, for whom funerals were held like those of Hezbollah members. The newspaper concluded its report by saying: “Despite this, the damage to Hezbollah has not yet prompted the Lebanese organization to surrender and stop fighting.”
