No Victory Today – Resistance Roundup – Day 400

By Palestine Chronicle Staff  

The Israeli army is on the verge of announcing an end to its ground military adventure in Lebanon. The official Israeli narrative, however, is not an honest one.

Israel’s Channel 13 reported that the Israeli army is close to announcing the end of the ground operation in southern Lebanon more than a month after it began.

According to media reports, citing military sources, it is estimated that more than 90% of the army’s ground operations in Lebanon have ended, and that the army will not announce the end of the ground operation in Lebanon until a political agreement is reached.

Earlier this month, the Israel Broadcasting Corporation (KAN) quoted informed army sources as saying that the ground operation had accomplished “achievements, most notably the discovery of Hezbollah infrastructure, the destruction of weapons caches and the capture of Hezbollah operatives providing intelligence.”

It pointed out that thousands of regular and reserve forces have begun to be demobilized for a temporary break, with planning for the redeployment of forces along the Lebanese border.

The Israeli army Chief of Staff Herzi Halevy had earlier said that it was possible to end the war on the Lebanon front, because Hezbollah’s top leadership had been eliminated.

The truth, however, is vastly different from the official Israeli narrative. Hezbollah’s ability to turn the war against Israel into a war of attrition denied the Israeli army any actual achievements – military or strategic.

That was the single most important factor in Israel’s failure, and ultimately defeat in Lebanon.

Day after day, the Israeli army attempted to establish a foothold inside Lebanon, but terribly failed to establish even a toehold. The only exception was the Israeli army’s ability to reach the town of Khiam – six kilometers away from the border with Israel. But then the army was forced to retreat after suffering major losses in men and military equipment.

The Khiam battle has, thus far, proved to be the most decisive in the Israeli decision.

All of this was taking place under the backdrop of growing Hezbollah’s missile capabilities, though the group continues to avoid civilian areas, and focus instead on military and intelligence targets.

Israel has no military victory in Lebanon, however hard its army tried to defeat the robust resistance.

Below are the latest statements by the two main Resistance forces in Gaza, and the Lebanese Resistance Movement Hezbollah.
