Israel’s defeat in the ground war in southern Lebanon
Mehr News, International Group: It was on the first day of October 2024 that the Zionist regime with four divisions of Four Axis launched a ground attack on southern Lebanon. At first, the Israeli leaders claimed that the type of attack would be limited and would only target Hezbollah’s infrastructure; But with the passage of time, it became apparent that the words and actions of the Zionist regime authorities were in conflict, like what happened in Gaza. With the beginning of the conflicts on the ground, the officials of different countries and people present at the United Nations expressed their concern about the recent events.
Rima Buffalo Amsis “Israel’s new evacuation order for 20 villages in southern Lebanon means that more than a quarter of the country is currently under an evacuation order,” said the director of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. In addition to international concerns, the escalation of the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah greatly affects the interests of the countries in the region. In recent days, Qatari, French, Turkish, Jordanian and Egyptian authorities have repeatedly warned about the consequences of expanding the scope of the Gaza war to Lebanon.
Israel’s challenges in ground combat
Ground attack in war is one of the oldest and most important types of military battle in the history of empires and states. Usually, being on the same border makes it possible for the two parties to start a ground battle, and on the other hand, the dimensions and scope of its influence make it more difficult for the parties to make decisions at each stage of this type of war. For this reason, the beginning of a ground attack by the occupying regime in southern Lebanon, considering the history of the war between the two sides and its complex consequences, is considered an irrational action at this point in time.
Uneven terrain, distinctive topography of an area, the presence of valleys, etc. are the potential characteristics of the Lebanese land, which reduce the possibility of completing the enemy’s operations to its lowest percentage. Also During these years, Hezbollah forces have been able to turn the existing geographical conditions into real tools against external threats by building tunnels inside the hills. The combination of the above factors causes the Zionist regime to send commando units to the border villages before sending its classical forces to the battlefield, so that it can have a better chance to deal with the Lebanese resistance and protect its forces against possible threats. /p>
The latest developments in the field in southern Lebanon
Now the Israeli army has attacked southern Lebanon with 4 divisions. Zionists from the southern areas to Mis Jubil, Kafarkala and Al-Adisa attacked, and the areas of Bent Jubeel and Maroon Elras subjected to their attacks. The key point is that in many of these fronts, the Israeli army has been forced to retreat and their prediction of capturing the southern regions of Lebanon has come to a dead end. In terms of the number of casualties, the self-censorship system of the Zionist regime prevents providing real statistics, but according to unofficial statistics, their casualties are estimated at around 500 people. Only in the last 24 hours, 23 Zionist soldiers were injured in Lebanon Square.
The increase in the number of Israeli casualties in the ground conflict compared to the low number of casualties and casualties in missile attacks, makes possible the withdrawal of the Zionist army. Previously, during the 33-day war in 2006, the Lebanese resistance forces inflicted similar casualties on Israel, allowing Tel Aviv to accept a ceasefire.
Hezbollah’s strengths against the enemy
Hizbollah to counter effectively the ground invasion of the enemy, mainly through rocket attacks. Armored missiles and detonating all kinds of bombs in the path of movement of the Zionist army have achieved many successes. Hizbollah has surprised the enemy many times by using guerilla operations and inflicted heavy blows on it.
The Israelis are pursuing several basic goals with their ground attacks. First, by entering Lebanon, they seek to spy on the weapons and facilities of the Hezbollah resistance force. Second, they think that by increasing their forces in the northern front, they will increase the possibility of hitting the other side.
The third strategic reason is to create a buffer zone between the border of occupied Palestine and the villages of southern Lebanon and finally to prevent the infiltration of the elite forces of Rezvan into the region Al-Jalil On the other hand, Hezbollah has the possibility of pushing the enemy back due to its complete familiarity with the environment of southern Lebanon and at the same time its high flexibility against the enemy’s firepower.

The international pressures to prevent the continuation of the war and the mediation of the regional governments with the aim of maintaining their long-term interests in the region are among the things that have put the Zionist army at a disadvantage. . As it was said before, only a few days after the beginning of the ground invasion of Lebanon, the number of dead and wounded of the Zionist regime has exceeded 500 people. The brilliant performance of Rezvan’s forces in the ground battle caused Sheikh Naim Qassem, deputy secretary general of Hezbollah, to warn the Zionist regime about the continuation of the war in southern Lebanon.
