Inside South Lebanon: Hezbollah’s War of Attrition Reshapes the Battlefield

A month after the start of the Israeli offensive on Lebanon, fighting in southern Lebanon continues to intensify within a highly complex battlefield environment. As the operation enters its second month, a clear field dynamic is taking shape – one defined by a focused attrition strategy imposed by Hezbollah, which manages engagements in a way that steadily increases the cost for advancing Israeli forces.

The ongoing ground operations in southern Lebanon fall within an asymmetric confrontation between the Israeli enemy’s army – as a conventional military force with air and technological superiority – and a non-conventional resistance that does not operate according to traditional military doctrine. Hezbollah does not rely on fixed territorial control or linear defense lines; instead, it employs a guerrilla warfare model based on operational flexibility, dispersion, ambushes, and concentrated strikes within a cumulative attrition framework targeting the Israel’s manpower and logistical capabilities.

According to field sources, the enemy’s ground incursions are distributed across several main axes, each with its own geographic and tactical characteristics, as follows:

Khiam axis
Khiam is a vital axis for the Israeli enemy due to its connection to villages where the resistance has no presence, as well as its linkage to the western Bekaa and the occupied Syrian territories – making it a corridor between Lebanon and Syria.
Hezbollah’s tactic here is based on steadfastness and defense through establishing combat pockets within the town, supported by fire from the second line in surrounding villages. So far, the Israel has not been able to fully control Khiam; its presence is limited to parts of it, while Hezbollah remains present. This axis also carries a retaliatory dimension for Israel due to the losses it sustained in attempts to seize it during the 2006 and 2024 wars.

Taybeh–Qantara axis
Taybeh represents the operational flank. Israeli forces aim to reach Wadi al-Hujeir after controlling Qantara, then advance toward the Litani River.
Here, Hezbollah adopts a different tactic than in Khiam – offensive attrition aimed at inflicting the maximum possible human and logistical losses on the enemy. Israeli troops are currently present inside Taybeh and are attempting to consolidate their positions, while the resistance continues targeting soldiers, tanks, and vehicles.

As for Qantara, it remains a close-range engagement zone. Meanwhile, nearby villages (Odaisseh, Rab al-Thalatheen, Kfar Kila, and parts of Markaba) are used as part of a tactic targeting enemy depth. These areas were previously under Israeli control and sustained extensive damage during earlier conflicts, the 60-day withdrawal period following a so-called ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon in 2024, and over the past 15 months.

The key question here is not whether the enemy can reach Wadi al-Hujeir, but rather the operational cost it will incur in doing so – especially since the resistance is not a conventional army and has not defined holding these villages as a strategic objective.

Naqoura axis
The Naqoura axis is a border extension along the coastal strip facing the Blue Line near the Lebanese–Palestinian border. Israel seeks to establish a buffer zone, secure its land and maritime borders, and target Hezbollah’s missile capabilities.
The area is wooded, and villages are connected through orchards, providing effective natural cover for the resistance forces. Another objective is to isolate this axis from its depth in the Tyre (Sur) region and cut supply and reinforcement lines.

Bint Jbeil axis
Field data indicates that Israel has begun troop mobilization and fire preparation for entering Bint Jbeil, which represents a vulnerable flank due to nearby villages where the resistance has no presence. It also holds significant symbolic importance in Israeli consciousness since 2000, following the famous statement by the late Hezbollah secretary-general Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah: “Israel is weaker than a spider’s web.”
This symbolism makes the city both a practical and psychological target. The resistance’s tactic is centered on preventing the city from falling.

Qawzah Axis (Qawzah–Beit Lif–Ramiya Triangle)
The “Qawzah–Beit Lif–Ramiya” triangle forms a strategic border axis, with its villages located on medium elevations overlooking surrounding areas, making it highly sensitive to ground movement and exchanges of fire.
Israel seeks to establish a buffer zone to secure its land borders and degrade the resistance’s missile capabilities. The terrain consists of forests and orchards connected to the villages, providing natural concealment for Hezbollah forces. Meanwhile, adjacent villages lack a resistance presence, making this axis a vulnerable flank that can be exploited, while also restricting military movement due to internal considerations.

General field situation and tactics

After approximately a month since the start of operations, Israeli forces remain positioned within the first line (border villages and the direct line of contact), without achieving a decisive breakthrough into deeper areas due to the ongoing attrition imposed by Hezbollah.

In contrast, the resistance adopts a tactic of allowing limited advances in certain front lines, then exhausting enemy forces from the second line through continuous fire or direct engagement. Unofficial field estimates indicate that the Israeli army has suffered significant human losses, estimated in the hundreds of killed and wounded (possibly reaching around 700), in addition to the targeting of more than 100 Merkava tanks according to data from the Hezbollah’s military media, as well as a number of vehicles and bulldozers. This level of losses would have been sufficient, under previous circumstances, to halt operations.

Hezbollah is currently following a gradual approach in the use of weapons and combat units, while maintaining full command, control, and communication  – reflecting substantial remaining capabilities. The cohesion of the communication system among the central operations room, axis-level command rooms, and combat units is evident, as reflected in improved military and organizational performance and the rapid transmission of field information.

The resistance operates according to an anti-maneuver doctrine rooted in guerrilla warfare, benefiting from a cohesive command-and-control structure and sustained supply lines. In contrast, the enemy suffers from intelligence shortcomings that limit the effectiveness of its isolation-based strategies. Accordingly, the confrontation is taking shape as a struggle between a maneuver-based approach aimed at fragmenting the front  – led by the Israeli army  – and a systematic attrition strategy aimed at exhausting the attacking force and preventing its consolidation  – led by Hezbollah.

Meanwhile, the Israeli army relies on an operational approach based on maneuver through encirclement and isolation rather than direct assault, with the aim of reducing human losses and accelerating the achievement of a field accomplishment that can be exploited for media purposes. This is pursued through attempts to fragment the Hezbollah’s combat structure into isolated pockets and to cut supply lines between the first and second lines south of the Litani River.

The enemy’s strategic dilemma

Israel is fighting without a clear strategic vision, as its declared operations aim to secure northern occupied Palestine and establish a buffer zone for the same purpose. However, even reaching the Litani River does not guarantee the neutralization of Hezbollah’s missile capability, which continues to pose the same threat to the north.

The options available to the enemy include a full-scale invasion to militarily eliminate the resistance  – an option considered impossible under current conditions, given the deteriorated state of its army and its ongoing attrition. This reality was acknowledged by the Israeli Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir himself, who warned of the risk of the army’s collapse if confrontations continue in this manner.

The realistic option, therefore, is to move toward an agreement and indirect negotiations, or to achieve a limited field accomplishment by reaching Wadi al-Hujeir and taking photographs near the Litani River, accompanied by media momentum alongside a diplomatic track.

The media dimension is evident in the visit of Israeli Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir to Tel al-Awida in Kfar Kila and the visit of the army spokesperson to Odaisseh. These actions are presented as media maneuvers, as the two villages had previously been under Israeli control before the war, and are not considered to be deep within Lebanese territory as claimed. These media representations are intended to compensate for the absence of real field achievements.

Recovery of the resistance

In this regard, statements by Hezbollah Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem regarding military recovery appear accurate. A clear improvement in performance is evident compared to the “Operation Al-Bas” battle, where combat was more individual in nature under the concept of fighters’ “field judgment,” and coordination gaps were apparent, particularly when local commanders were killed.

Today, however, operational plans and alternatives are in place, and earlier logistical and positioning problems have been addressed. This development has pushed the enemy to target bridges and roads, especially since, during “Operation Al-Bas,” there were significant difficulties in manpower logistics.

Firepower and technical capabilities

Hezbollah has demonstrated the continued effectiveness of its missile capabilities, with a clear recovery in its rocket units, reflected in long-range salvos reaching up to 200 kilometers (the Gaza envelope).

It has also shown capabilities in air defense, having succeeded in downing several drones and even attempting to target Israeli warplanes and force them to retreat – particularly in the skies over Beirut, marking a first in the history of the resistance.

In addition, Hezbollah maintains capabilities in anti-armor warfare and drone operations. The use of FPV suicide drones with high maneuverability and precision has become prominent, drawing on experience from the Russia–Ukraine war.

Despite the enemy’s technological superiority and aerial dominance, the resistance retains strong reconnaissance capabilities, overcoming obstacles created by enemy fortifications and constant aerial surveillance.

Security level

A source within the resistance’s security apparatus indicates that the recent targeting operations and assassinations resulted from individual security breaches rather than from a structural intelligence penetration, reflecting the cohesion of the Hezbollah’s security system.

The pattern of targets chosen by Israel reveals a state of intelligence blindness. The majority of airstrikes have targeted “security-burned” locations or sites of institutional or civilian character, which suggests a degradation in the effectiveness of the Israeli army’s target bank.

In a related context, the Israeli General Security Service (Shin Bet) issued exceptional instructions, most notably a ban on mobile phones and a complete prohibition on ministers and Knesset members visiting front-line areas in the western and central sectors until further notice. This was accompanied by changes in camouflage protocols, including the use of disguised civilian vehicles when necessary, after it was confirmed that Hezbollah is capable of identifying leadership convoys.

These measures followed an alleged attempt by the resistance to assassinate Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz during a tour in southern Lebanon, according to Israeli media. Opposition leader Yair Lapid launched an attack on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government, describing the incident as a “catastrophic intelligence failure.”

Accordingly, this is considered a shock achieved by Hezbollah’s military intelligence unit, alongside its identification of newly established enemy positions and military sites.

Unity of fronts

In this war, the unity of fronts between Iran and its strategic allies is clearly evident, both at the military and political levels.

On the military level, coordination serves as a decisive factor that undermines any enemy attempt at isolation, as clearly demonstrated through field operational coordination.

On the political level, the unity of fronts is reflected in a coordinated stance at the regional and international tables, whereby battlefield gains are translated into diplomatic strength and attempts at isolation or pressure on the resistance are thwarted.

Mousawi: “No current prospect for agreements; the war is long”

Meanwhile, the official in charge of resources and borders in Hezbollah, Sayyed Nawaf al-Mousawi, stated in a private interview that “conditions have not yet matured for any agreements, and we remain in the heart of the battle,” stressing that “the focus now is on fighting in the field, and there is no prospect for agreements at the present time.”

He outlined key Lebanese demands, including an immediate end to all hostile operations, the release of prisoners, an unconditional Israeli withdrawal, the return of displaced civilians, and unrestricted reconstruction, arguing that such terms had already been agreed upon but were not honored. He described the conflict as a unified regional war involving both the US and Israel, claiming that plans existed to intensify pressure on Lebanon, which were strategically anticipated. He also questioned the likelihood of Syrian involvement due to its regional alliances and concluded that the war is a prolonged confrontation where outcomes will be determined on the ground rather than through speculation.

Conclusion

The points outlined in this analysis offer a clear picture of the realities on the ground–military, field, and security alike. Yet competing narratives persist, as the enemy continues to wage a parallel cognitive war, targeting language and the flow of information from the field.

Israel’s repeated targeting of journalists and correspondents in Lebanon and Gaza underscores this effort, most recently the assassinations of Al Manar correspondent Ali Shoeib and Al Mayadeen correspondent Fatima Ftouni, in an apparent attempt to obscure its losses on the ground.

NDFP Statement On The Occasion Of The 57th Anniversary Of The Founding Of The NPA

Red salute to the New People’s Army on its 57th anniversary! With your steady advance, we join you in honoring the martyred people’s warriors and revolutionary masses of the armed struggle who have given their precious lives to keep the armed revolution alive for us today.

You have weathered the onslaught of eight reactionary administrations that inflicted the most brutal attacks upon the people’s army and the Filipino people, from nip-in-the-bud and encirclement-and-suppression campaigns; to clear-hold-consolidate and focused sustained military operations using hundreds and thousands of reactionary military and police troops supported by high tech weapons in their attempt to crush a guerrilla army that is not even one twentieth of its size. Because you have struck deep roots with the masses that gave strength the enemy troops can never conquer. The decades of bombings, hamletting, free-fire zones, massacres, torture, food blockades and psywar operations to isolate the oppressed masses from their army have only strengthened the people’s resolve to carry on the armed struggle.

By resolutely and actively carrying out the rectification movement, the people’s army today has steadily gained strength with the infusion of new and young Red fighters and commanders, developed tactical adjustments to the enemy’s high tech dependent operations, trained and re-trained Red fighters in comprehensive mass base building and guerrilla tactics, increased expansion and recovery areas, and rebuilt organizations that have been destroyed by intense and prolonged military operations while building new ones. All these amid the relentless military and psywar attacks by the fascist US-Marcos regime.

We observe this anniversary’s gains and challenges amid the present crisis and misery to the lives and livelihood of the Filipino people brought about by US imperialist aggression in the Middle East. The widespread people’s protest on the streets, schools, communities and the transport sector for immediate relief and lasting reforms are ignored by the callous US-Marcos regime that seeks only to serve the interests of its exploitative and oppressive masters. Calls for measures in parliament to repeal anti-people laws on oil deregulation and regressive taxes, or create new ones for land reform and national industrialization, are swamped by endless debates and political grandstanding resulting only on token measures designed to cover up the people’s miserable conditions. And as before, protest and resistance are met with fascist attacks on people’s rights using the whole violent state machinery for repression. These highlight once again the anti-people character of the reactionary state and the necessity for people’s war to overthrow the fascist puppet government and establish a democratic people’s government for real change that will benefit the people.

At the threat of an escalating and widening imperialist war, the Filipino people face the risk of being drawn into the war as magnets for attacks by US enemies. As the reactionary regime refuses to implement an independent foreign policy and pigheadedly hosts EDCA sites and other US military installations in the Philippines, the Filipino people must develop our own revolutionary armed force to defend our sovereignty. The New People’s Army and our revolutionary bases must be prepared to welcome patriotic Filipinos who want to take up arms but do not want to serve as cannon fodder for whichever imperialist power holds military command. We call on all patriotic Filipinos to prepare for a people’s war of resistance both in the rural and urban areas if the imperialist war comes to our shores.

Under the absolute leadership of the Communist Party of the Philippines, the New People’s Army provides the sharpest and most disciplined tool for advancing the armed struggle as the primary form of people’s war. All allied organizations of the National Democratic Front commend and support your advance and are always ready to expand and consolidate our organizations for the armed struggle and to contribute more Red commanders and fighters to the people’s army. On this important date, we call on the people to march on in the struggle for national liberation and democracy.

Long live the New People’s Army!

Long live the National Democratic Revolution!

Abu Obeida urges capturing Israeli troops to liberate Arab detainees

The military spokesperson for the Al-Qassam Brigades, Abu Obeida, has praised the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon – Hezbollah, for their top-tier operations and for dealing the zionist occupation forces heavy losses, urging escalation and the capture of zionist troops to secure the release of Palestinian and Arab detainees.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, Abu Obeida hailed the consequential operations carried out by Hezbollah’s fighters, and called for intensified efforts and the detention of zionist soldiers as leverage for future prisoner exchange deals.

Such actions, he said, are especially urgent following the zionist approval of a law that would allow the execution of Palestinian detainees currently in Israeli jails.

Moreover, the military spokesperson said the trajectory of Palestinian resistance has demonstrated that armed struggle remains the most effective means for liberating detainees. He recalled Gaza’s role in this effort, noting the heavy sacrifices the Palestinian Resistance factions made in pursuit of prisoner liberation, and urged Hezbollah to resume this shared mission.

Zionist regime must be held accountable

Abu Obeida also slammed the entities arbitrary measures, including restricting access to Al-Aqsa Mosque and ongoing aggression across the region, as part of a broader pattern of escalation.

He called on Arab and Muslim nations, as well as international actors, to take concrete action against the occupation, either by holding the occupation accountable or by exerting pressure to halt its policies, “as the bare minimum.”

Read Abu Obeida’s statement in full below: 

Blessed are the hands of the heroes of the Islamic resistance in Lebanon, who continue to inflict heavy losses on the Zionist enemy, most recently during the significant operation carried out yesterday. We call on them to intensify their efforts to capture Zionist soldiers in order to secure the release of Palestinian and Arab prisoners from the darkness of occupation prisons, especially following the approval of the law permitting the execution of prisoners.

The course of our people’s struggle against the Zionists has proven that the shortest path to liberating prisoners is through resistance. Gaza has sacrificed greatly in this regard, and we urge the heroes of Hezbollah to continue this mission. Our certainty in God remains firm: He will not abandon our free prisoners and will grant them relief and a way out from their suffering.

This Zionist arrogance, most recently demonstrated through the approval of the prisoner execution law, the crime of closing Al-Aqsa, and the aggression against our Arab and Islamic peoples, obliges all components of our nation and the free people of the world to exert every possible effort to punish the occupation for its crimes—or at the very least, to pressure it into halting its aggression. This is the bare minimum of responsibility.

Secretary-General of the Sayyid al-Shuhada Brigades in Iraq Warns Syria and Kuwait About Escalation

Secretary-General of the Sayyid al-Shuhada Brigades in Iraq, Abu Ala al-Walai, in an important statement:

After the Zionist-American war against Iran entered its second month, and following its failure to achieve its declared objectives, American threats of a ground invasion of the Islamic Republic’s territory have begun to escalate, signaling a transition from limited engagement to all-out war.

In this context, I would like to point out the following:

First: Should American forces use Kuwaiti territory as a launching point for an attack on Iran, the Axis of Resistance, within the framework of the “Unity of Fronts,” will consider this a breach of regional security borders.

Second: Reports are circulating regarding Al-Jolani’s intention to cross borders and move within Lebanese territory in a manner that serves Zionist forces against Lebanon.

Accordingly, if either of these two scenarios materializes, it will inevitably compel the Axis of Resistance to take similar steps, according to the equation of reciprocal response in breaching regional borders.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, and the initiator is the one to blame.

Hezbollah announces Khaybar 2 operation amid heavy rocket fire

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon announced the launch of Khaybar 2 operations, signifying a new phase of escalation as part of the battle against the zionist occupation.

The operations are being carried out as part of Operation Devoured Straw to defend Lebanon and its people, in retaliation for the zionist aggression that has targeted a vast area of Lebanese villages and cities, including Beirut.

The eight coordinated operations focused on the occupied city of Haifa and its surrounding areas, with Hezbollah fighters striking the Stella Maris base, a strategic naval monitoring and surveillance base along the northern coast, with a salvo of rockets at 8:00 pm local time.

At the same time, the movement announced it targeted the Nasherim base southeast of Haifa with rocket fire and swarms of suicide drones.

Hezbollah also said it struck infrastructure linked to the zionist military in the Krayot area, north of Haifa, using additional rocket barrages.

In a fourth statement on the Khaybar 2 operations, the movement announced it also targeted Tefen Base (east of Akka) at 20:00, using rockets and suicide drones.

Separately, the Islamic Resistance said it fired four rocket salvos at four zionist settlements,  Shlomi, Shomera, Zar’it, and Nahariya.

What the zionist media is saying

In a related development, zionist Channel 12 reported that the Israeli military told settlers it had not detected any Hezbollah movement, indicating an imminent rocket attack, and therefore did not issue warnings.

Earlier,  reports stated that renewed rocket fire from Lebanon emerged, with sirens sounding in Nahariya, Akka, Haifa, and surrounding areas.

At the same time, waves of attack drones reportedly entered occupied Palestine’s airspace following the rocket barrages, triggering sirens across multiple settlements in the Upper al-Jalil.

Channel 12 said rocket fire from Lebanon toward the north had been “continuous,” reporting more than 40 rockets and drones launched toward the region.

Israel Hayom described around 20 minutes of uninterrupted rocket fire directed at Haifa and northern areas.

On its part, Channel 11  quoted former zionist military and intelligence officials as saying the Lebanese front represents a uniquely complex and layered battlefield compared with other arenas.

Hezbollah launched Khaybar 1

On March 17, Hezbollah announced the launch of Khaybar 1 operations. At the time, zionist media reported non-stop sirens across the occupied north of Palestine, as well as continuous rocket launches from South Lebanon.

The Resistance also emphasized that these strikes targeted military objectives only, unlike zionist attacks, which target civilians, stressing that the operations are meant to deter zionist aggression and prevent further escalation against Lebanon.

NPA Unit Foils Attack By AFP Troops In Occidental Mindoro Province

A New People’s Army (NPA)-Mindoro (Lucio De Guzman Command) unit fired first against 203rd IBde troopers that was attempting an attack on March 23. The fascist military failed to inflict any damage on the NPA-Mindoro unit stationed in Sitio Danlog, Barangay Monteclaro, San Jose, Occidental Mindoro Province that morning.

The unit’s spokesperson Ka Madaay Gasic said the Red fighters valiantly fought before safely withdrawing the entire unit without casualties. He said the battle disproves the 203rd IBde’s lies that no people’s army remain in the island of Mindoro.

He added that incidents like this show the NPA continuously frustrates the reactionary government’s aim to wipe out the revolutionary movement on the island under the “whole of nation approach.” The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) is intensifying its attacks against the people’s army and even civilians under the National Action Plan for Unity, Peace and Development (NAP-UPD) of the US-Marcos regime.

Gasic further said the heavy, destructive and burdensome militarization against the Mindoreño masses only pushes peasants and the indigenous Mangyan people to align with the NPA. He said they demand accountability and justice against the fascist 203rd IBde and police forces.

“The overflowing determination of Red commanders and fighters continues in advancing the armed struggle to defeat the AFP-PNP-CAFGU forces, the number one enemies of the Mindoreño masses,” Gasic declared.

NPA Honors 3 Martyred Young Red Fighters In South Central Negros

The New People’s Army (NPA)-Southwest Negros (Armando Sumayang Jr Command) honored the three young Red fighters killed in combat with the 47th IB in Sitio Santol, Barangay Tampalon, Kabankalan City, Negros Occidental Province on March 21. Martyred were Ritchell Verano (Ka Makoy/Venom), 26 years old, Milky Sampini (Ka Gorting/Dores), 29, and Joedil (Ka Junjun/Cairo), 21.

The unit’s spokesperson Ka Andrea Guerrero said the three young fighters’ heroism illustrates why the NPA remains uncrushed by the reactionary state. “The youth and the next generation are ready to take upon themselves the responsibilities and the challenge of the times,” she said.

Verano, Sampini and Joedil capably fulfilled their respective duties within the people’s army. They served as NPA officers and Communist Party of the Philippines leaders at particular levels.

Verano came from the semi-proletarian class and was a resident of Carcar City, Cebu. He and his family moved to Barangay Trinidad, Guihulngan City, Negros Oriental Province. Here he linked up and became a member of Kabataang Makabayan (KM) in 2015. He joined the people’s army in 2017 in Central Negros and was assigned to Southwest Negros in 2025.

He was a Party Front Committee member at the time of his martyrdom and served as the NPA second platoon leader. “Verano is known for not refusing and diligently implementing responsibilities at any time,” Guerrero stated.

Sampini was a native of Barangay Lamugong, Manjuyod, Negros Oriental Province. He became a Red fighter in 2016 and integrated in a South Central Negros front. He was later assigned to Southwest Negros and was squad leader at his martyrdom. According to the unit, Sampini was skilled in counter-intelligence work.

Meanwhile, the youngest martyr Joedil came from Sitio Tigbao, Barangay Buenavista, Himamaylan City, Negros Occidental Province. He was recruited into KM in 2020 and joined the NPA in 2023 when he was of age. He toured in South Central Negros and was then assigned to Southwest Negros. He served as second squad leader.

The 3rd ID immediately seized the opportunity to psywar the Red fighters and slander the revolutionary movement upon the martyrdom of the three. Division commander Maj. Gen. Michael Samson called on them to “abandon armed struggle and return to society” to supposedly avoid death.

In contrast, Guerrero declared that the three martyrs will surely inspire the Red fighters to attain the aspiration of the Negrosanon masses. “The NPA-Southwest Negros is optimistic replacements will come and even more youth will accept the call to take up arms and join the NPA, especially with the worsening crisis of the rotten system represented by the US-Marcos II regime,” she said.
