The Israeli military has failed to gain control over the towns it raided in southern Lebanon as part of a ground invasion that followed almost a year of aerial assaults, a new report says. 

Lebanon's al-Manar television channel detailed the situation of  the occupation forces on Tuesday, as their ground assault on the Arab country entered its 35th day.

"The Zionist occupation forces have failed to establish a foothold in any of the towns they entered with the aim of full control," the report said.

It added that the enemy soldiers failed to approach the Naqoura town’s neighborhoods after losing four tanks in the battle with fighters of the Hezbollah resistance movement.

The Israeli infiltration attempts in Aita al-Shaab and Meis al-Jabal have also been met with heroic resistance, it added.

Clashes in Ramia, al-Qawzah, Yaroun, Aitaroun, and Khiam have also inflicted losses on the Israeli military.

According to the report, the enemy forces were forced to retreat from the towns of Dhahira, Yarine, Bustan, and Houla, as well as the outskirts of Marwahin.

Israeli troops remain stationed in eastern outskirts of Maroun al-Ras, along with Shebaa Farms, the Kfar Shuba hills, Halta, and Kfar Hamam, facing daily rocket attacks by resistance fighters, the report noted.

Israel has been carrying out bloody acts of terror and aggression across Lebanon after the occupying regime unleashed its genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.

At least 3,002 people have been killed and 13,492 others injured in Israeli attacks on Lebanon since early October 2023, according to the country’s health ministry.

In late September, the regime assassinated Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, head of the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah, in a strike on southern Beirut.

Since then, Hezbollah has increased its retaliatory attacks against Israeli targets and vowed to continue its fight in support of Gaza and Palestine, and in defense of Lebanon.
