The Israeli army has incurred about 700 casualties since beginning ground infiltrations into Lebanon early this month

Lebanese resistance forces continue successfully repelling Zionist attacks on southern Lebanon. Tel Aviv’s losses are growing. Snip:

“The enemy’s losses, according to what the Islamic Resistance fighters monitored, amounted to more than 70 dead and more than 600 wounded officers and soldiers of the Israeli enemy army,” the statement said.

It adds that 28 Merkava tanks, four military bulldozers, an armed vehicle, and an armored troop carrier were destroyed by the Lebanese resistance.

The toll “does not include the Israeli enemy’s losses in military bases, sites and barracks in the north and depth of occupied Palestine.”

The statement confirms that Israeli forces have not been able to establish control over or occupy any villages and that the troops have only been able to advance short distances into southern Lebanese villages, given the intensity of the resistance’s operations.

    People often say war is about technology and force. But modern war is about how much sacrifice you can muster.

    I don’t expect a country like israel to “win” a war

      Weapons are an important factor in war, but not the decisive factor; it is people, not things that are decisive. The contest of strength is not only a contest of military and economic power, but also a contest of human power and morale. People necessarily wield military and economic power.

      —Mao Zedong, On Protracted War (May 1958)
