Lebanese Hezbollah forces announced the destruction of six Israeli Merkava tanks over a 24-hour period, releasing a new video vowing to eliminate the occupying army's armor.
Lebanese Hezbollah forces have destroyed six Israeli Merkava tanks over a 24-hour period, according to Iranian news channels heavily aligned with the state and regional resistance factions.
The pro-government channel حامیان پزشکیان reports that at 1:30 AM on Thursday, Lebanese resistance fighters fired guided missiles at two Merkava tanks in the Beidar al-Faqani area of Taybeh. The missiles scored direct hits, bringing the total number of destroyed tanks to six. The channel also noted that Hezbollah forces continue to subject the clash zone to a barrage of rocket and artillery fire.
Mainstream Iranian news aggregator آخرین خبر tracked the escalating toll, initially reporting the destruction of three tanks by guided missiles before confirming the total had reached six within a 24-hour window.
Alongside the battlefield updates, Hezbollah released a new propaganda clip titled "لن تبقی لکم دبابات" (No tanks will remain for you). According to حامیان پزشکیان, the video emphasizes the continued hunting of occupying army tanks.
These intense localized clashes in southern Lebanon occur against the backdrop of an explosive regional conflict, following massive joint US-Israeli airstrikes on Iranian infrastructure earlier in the week and subsequent widespread Iranian retaliation across the Middle East.
