Statement No. 4638 issued by the Islamic Resistance Operations Room:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
{Permission [to fight] has been granted to those who are being fought because they have been wronged, and indeed Allah is capable of granting them victory.}
Allah Almighty is Truthful
In support of the steadfast Palestinian people, in solidarity with their valiant and honorable resistance, and in defense of our steadfast Lebanese people, the Islamic Resistance has continued its path, answering the call of its Secretary-General and its supreme martyr, His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, may his soul be sanctified, and the flagbearer after him, His Eminence Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem, may Allah preserve him. The Resistance has stayed true to its covenant and jihad for over 13 months, achieving victory over the deluded enemy who failed to break its resolve or spirit. The battlefield spoke, and its pure-hearted fighters, relying on Allah Almighty, succeeded in dismantling the enemy’s goals, defeating its army, and writing with their blood the chronicles of steadfastness and resilience in the battles of Flood of Al-Aqsa and Those of Might.
On this glorious occasion, the Resistance announces the following:
- Since the beginning of the Flood of Al-Aqsa operations on October 8, 2023, the Islamic Resistance has conducted over 4637 military operations (publicly announced) over 417 days, at an average of 11 operations per day.
- Of these, 1666 military operations have been carried out since the onset of the Israeli aggression against Lebanon and the launch of The Battle of Those of Might operations on September 17, 2024, with an average of 23 operations per day. These operations targeted enemy army bases, military posts, and Israeli cities and settlements, from the Lebanese-Palestinian border to beyond Tel Aviv. They also included heroic responses to enemy ground incursions into Lebanese territory.
- As part of The Battle of Those of Might operations, the Islamic Resistance executed 105 military operations in a series of Khaybar operations, targeting dozens of strategic military and security bases, some of which were struck for the first time in the history of the Zionist entity. These operations used precise and advanced ballistic missiles and drone attacks, reaching as far as 150 kilometers beyond Tel Aviv, deep inside the occupied Palestinian territories.
- The cumulative losses suffered by the Israeli enemy since it began its ground advance into Lebanese territory on October 1, 2024, until the issuance of this statement include:
- The death of over 130 soldiers and officers, and more than 1250 injured.
- The destruction of 59 Merkava tanks, 11 military bulldozers, 2 Hummer vehicles, 2 armored vehicles, and 2 personnel carriers.
- The downing of 6 "Hermes 450" drones, 2 "Hermes 900" drones, and a "Quadcopter."
It should be noted that these losses do not include those incurred in the enemy’s military bases, posts, settlements, and occupied cities.
The Islamic Resistance Operations Room emphasizes the following:
- Throughout the Israeli enemy's ground operation inside Lebanese territory since October 1, 2024, and due to the steadfastness of our fighters in the field, the enemy’s attempts to occupy or entrench in any town of the first line of defense have failed. These towns have been under attack since the beginning of Flood of Al-Aqsa, and the enemy could not establish a military or security buffer zone as it had hoped. It also failed to stop the launching of rockets and drones targeting the occupied land. Even on the last day of aggression, our fighters continued to strike deep into the enemy’s heart from the border towns.
