Hamas: Iran Seeking End to War Across all Fronts, Including Gaza

Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qassem revealed on Monday that Iran had informed the movement it was seeking to bring the ongoing war to an end across all fronts in the region, including Gaza.

Qassem affirmed that Iran had extended political, military, and financial support to the Palestinian struggle and continued to express its backing and solidarity with the Palestinian people.

He stressed that Hamas was working to ensure Gaza remained central to regional negotiations aimed at ending the war and halting the aggression and that the enclave would not be sidelined from any broader efforts to reach a ceasefire.

Qassem added that the movement was engaging positively with any reasonable proposals put forward during ongoing talks in Cairo, expressing hope that solutions could be reached as soon as possible.

Reiterating Hamas’ commitment to reaching an agreement at the earliest opportunity, Qassem said the movement remained focused on ending the genocidal war in Gaza, alleviating Palestinian suffering, and halting the ongoing aggression.

The spokesperson also praised the Iranian and Yemeni responses to “Israel’s” expanding aggression, describing them as “a model of solidarity among the components of the nation.” He called on active forces across the region to treat this level of support and solidarity as a duty at the current stage, in defense of both the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples.

Gaza ceasefire talks resume

A new round of ceasefire talks got underway in Cairo on Sunday, with Egyptian, Qatari, and Turkish mediators sitting down with representatives from Hamas and other Palestinian Resistance factions in an effort to revive the stalled agreement, a Palestinian source told AFP.

Discussions focused on a proposed roadmap to complete implementation of the deal, with Egypt’s Al Qahera News describing the atmosphere as “positive” and reporting consensus around continuing the Trump-backed plan, whose first phase included a prisoner exchange, a halt to combat operations, Israeli troop withdrawal from residential areas, and large-scale humanitarian aid entry, none of which “Israel” has honored.

The second phase, which envisions a Palestinian national committee administering Gaza under the “Board of Peace,” Hamas disarmament, and a gradual Israeli withdrawal alongside reconstruction, remains beset by obstacles.

Hamas and Islamic Jihad Applaud Iranian and Yemeni Strikes on Zionist Regime

The Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement blesses the Iranian response to the crimes of the zionist entity.

We bless the missile strikes carried out by the Islamic Republic of Iran against targets and sites inside the occupied Palestinian territories, in response to the escalation by the government of war criminals in the usurping entity in its aggressive policies in the region, which reached the southern suburb of Beirut yesterday, amidst its continued denial and repeated violation of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza.

We also bless the strikes launched by the Yemeni Armed Forces against the entity and their announcement of a complete and total ban on maritime navigation for the enemy’s movements in the Red Sea.

The past period has proven beyond any doubt that the zionist entity is the sole obstacle to reaching a ceasefire in the region, and it continues to shed the blood of the peoples of our nation, especially in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip, in service of political goals and in fulfillment of Talmudic delusions of expansion, hegemony, and control.

The Iranian strikes constitute an opportunity to protect Arab national security and the security of the region’s states, to deter the zionist entity from continuing its criminality, to force it to adhere to agreements, and to protect the resistance forces in the region, which are the pillar of the dignity of the Arab and Islamic nation and its support in the face of the tyranny of the entity supported by the American administration.

— Hamas:
—
We highly value the Iranian and Yemeni response to the zionist entity due to its crimes against Lebanon and its honorable people.

In light of the crimes of the zionist occupation and its continuous aggression against our people in Gaza, the West Bank, and Al-Quds, and against the brotherly Lebanese people, working to stop this zionist aggression and its continuous crimes has become an urgent priority. This requires the solidarity of various parties in the region and the world to put an end to it, as it has become clear that the zionist entity and its unbridled aggressive behavior are the source of all tensions in the region and their dangerous repercussions on the international arena.

The occupation has proven, through its continuous aggression against Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran, and through its treachery and repeated reneging on its commitments and violation of agreements it signs, that it is an entity that respects no covenant and adheres to no understanding. It continues its violations and breaches of all international agreements and obligations, confirming that its aggressive policies represent a permanent threat to the security and stability of the region.

The zionist aggression against Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran does not target these parties alone, but constitutes an assault on the entire nation and its capabilities. This compels all components of the nation to stand as one rank in the face of these continuous attacks, and to strengthen all forms of solidarity and support to contribute to deterring the occupation and curbing its escalating aggression.

Statement by the Islamic Resistance Front in Syria on Iranian Attacks

In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Fight them; God will punish them through your hands, humiliate them, grant you victory over them, and heal the hearts of a believing people.

We praise and applaud the blessed and courageous Iranian response that struck the strongholds of the criminal Zionist entity, in response to its treacherous aggression and the flagrant attack against our people in the southern suburbs of Beirut.

These blessed missile strikes demonstrate once again that the era of Zionist arrogance and aggression has irrevocably come to an end, and confirm to all that this arrogant enemy understands only the language of force, gunpowder and direct confrontation.

We in the Islamic Resistance Front affirm that these blessed missiles have consolidated unity on the battlefield and shattered the illusions of Netanyahu and his criminal gang. In this context, we declare to the whole world that the mujahideen of Uli al-Ba are fully prepared and ready on the ground, with their fingers on the trigger, awaiting the signal to attack this enemy and defeat its tyranny.

Victory comes only from God, the Almighty, the Wise.

Hezbollah Slams US Declaration, Destroys 7 Tanks

Hezbollah Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem released a pointed message on Thursday, condemning the Washington declaration on Lebanon as a tool of subjugation, rejecting ongoing direct negotiations, and reaffirming the Resistance’s commitment to fighting until full zionist withdrawal.

Sheikh Qassem asserted that the Washington declaration outlines “the fundamental principles through which the United States and the zionist entity seek Lebanon’s submission to the project of ‘Greater Israel.'” He stressed that the declaration “is intended to sow discord among the Lebanese and to allow ‘Israel’ to achieve through politics what it failed to achieve through war.”

He affirmed that the declaration is “aimed at undermining Lebanon, destabilizing the country, and sowing discord among the Lebanese people,” calling it “a roadmap for the extermination of a segment of the Lebanese people and the subjugation of the rest.”

Sheikh Qassem underscored that making the disarmament of the Resistance “the primary objective and starting point of any agreement would mean stripping Lebanon of its strength and posing an existential threat that could lead to the destruction of its resistant people.”

He affirmed that the Resistance’s existence is not up for negotiation, rejecting any linkage between the existence of the Resistance and the cessation of aggression or the withdrawal of “Israel,” stressing that the two tracks cannot be conflated.

Direct negotiations are ‘humiliating’

Sheikh Qassem said the outcome of the direct negotiations is “wholly and categorically rejected by broad segments of the Lebanese people,” characterising the process as “futile, humiliating, and disgraceful.”

He called on Lebanese officials to “put an end to this farce and humiliation known as direct negotiations,” urging them to “be stronger by rallying all your people around the choice of a sovereign state, to which the enemies will inevitably submit.”

He warned that the so-called “security track,” premised on an illusory ceasefire that would require Hezbollah to stop firing and resistance fighters to vacate the southern front while the aggression continues and military pressure mounts, “amounts to surrender, defeat, and the fulfillment of the enemy’s objectives,” likening it to “Satan’s dream of entering Paradise.”

Ceasefire conditions

Sheikh Qassem highlighted that the Resistance is “concerned only with ending the comprehensive aggression through a ceasefire and the withdrawal of ‘Israel.'”

He stressed that the ceasefire “must be comprehensive,” with “no distinction between South Lebanon and the rest of the country,” and that “the enemy cannot be granted freedom to kill in Lebanon.”

He outlined the core conditions as the withdrawal of Israeli occupation forces from Lebanese territory, the deployment of the Lebanese Army south of the Litani River, and the liberation of prisoners, affirming that “no one has the right to interfere in Lebanon’s internal affairs or in how the Lebanese organize their political, economic, and social life.”

Resistance will continue until occupation ends

Sheikh Qassem affirmed that “as long as the occupation remains, the Resistance will continue.”

He stressed that “we have given no commitment to anyone not to resist aggression or respond to it,” adding that as long as the aggression continues, the Resistance will “confront it with all the strength at our disposal.”

He added that “as long as our villages remain unsafe, are being bombed and destroyed, and our people are being killed, the settlements will not be safe,” vowing that they “will witness our might and our resolve.”

He warned that “the murderers of prophets will not find stability on our land,” and that the Resistance “will fight the invaders until we drive them from our land and bring an end to their aggression.”

National unity, government accountability

Sheikh Qassem stressed that the Resistance remains committed to “national unity in the face of aggression,” calling it “a source of strength for all of us.”

He held the Lebanese authorities responsible for fulfilling their duty to address “the internal Lebanese divisions caused by their political choices,” and called on them to initiate “measures and dialogue that lead to unifying the Lebanese in confronting the Israeli aggression against our country.”

He explained that “the priority is for the people of the country to reach an understanding in confronting the aggression,” with internal issues to be addressed only afterward, under the framework of the Constitution, the Taif Agreement, and coexistence.”

Gratitude to Iran, tribute to Imam Khomeini

Sheikh Qassem delivered the speech as a message on the anniversary of Imam Khomeini’s passing, also addressing the current political situation. He expressed gratitude to Iran for its efforts to secure a comprehensive halt to aggression and a ceasefire in Lebanon as part of the broader cessation of aggression against Iran itself.

He highlighted that “despite all the difficulties faced by the Iranian Revolution, Iran has advanced on all fronts and has supported liberation movements.”

He affirmed that the Revolution “emerged from an Islamic foundation rooted in the principles of resisting oppression and occupation, and declared itself to be neither Eastern nor Western.”

He stressed that “the West and the United States do not accept Iran as a model of integrity and justice,” but rather want it “to be subordinate to their interests and domination.”

Sheikh Qassem noted that the Resistance in Lebanon “drew inspiration from the approach and thought of Imam Khomeini,” while affirming that Hezbollah “fights for our land and our people.”

Hezbollah destroys 7 tanks in actions

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon, Hezbollah, carried out a sustained campaign of operations on Wednesday evening and Thursday against Israeli occupation forces in southern Lebanon, in defense of Lebanon and its people and in response to the Israeli occupation’s ongoing violations of the ceasefire agreement and its continued aggression on Lebanese villages and civilians.

As was the case in the past couple of days, the operations were concentrated around al-Shaqif Fortress and the town of Yohmor al-Shaqif, where Israeli occupation forces have attempted to establish a presence in recent days but have failed to do so due to relentless Resistance fire.

Despite an Israeli military photo op at the historic fortress, the Resistance has continued to strike occupation vehicles, troops, and command positions in the area daily, destroying two Merkava tanks on Wednesday and four so far on Thursday.

Wednesday’s operations

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon released statements detailing the following operations on Wednesday, June 3:

On Wednesday, fighters engaged Israeli Hermes 450 “Zik” surveillance drones on three separate occasions, over the city of Nabatieh, over Wadi al-Hujeir, and in the western sector of southern Lebanon, forcing each to leave the area.

Later that evening, at 8:00 pm and 9:00 pm, fighters targeted gatherings of IOF vehicles and troops on the southeastern outskirts of Yohmor al-Shaqif and in the town of Rsheif with two swarms of one-way attack drones.

At 10:30 pm, fighters targeted another gathering of IOF vehicles and troops on the southern outskirts of Yohmor al-Shaqif with a rocket salvo.

Sustained overnight operations in Qantara

Resistance fighters struck the town of Qantara three times overnight and in the early morning hours on Thursday, June 5:

At 12:15 am, fighters targeted a gathering of IOF vehicles and troops in Qantara with a rocket salvo.

At 2:45 am, a second strike hit a gathering in the same town with a swarm of one-way attack drones.

A third strike followed at 8:00 am, when fighters hit another gathering of occupation vehicles and troops in Qantara with two rocket salvos.

Ongoing operations in Yohmor al-Shaqif

Resistance fighters launched a sustained series of strikes on Israeli occupation forces in the Yohmor al-Shaqif area and near al-Shaqif Fortress shortly after midnight on Thursday, June 4:

At 12:20 am, fighters targeted an Israeli occupation army command position near al-Shaqif Fortress with two one-way attack drones.

At 4:00 pm, fighters destroyed two Merkava tanks near the fortress with appropriate weapons.

At 4:15 pm, fighters hit a gathering of occupation troops near the fortress with artillery shells.

At 4:50 pm, fighters struck a newly established IOF logistics support center on the outskirts of Yohmor al-Shaqif with two advanced drones.

At 5:15 pm, fighters destroyed a third Merkava tank near the fortress with a guided missile.

At 6:20 pm, fighters targeted a gathering of occupation troops near the fortress with heavy rockets.

At 7:30 pm, fighters targeted another two Merkava tanks in the vicinity of al-Shaqif Fortress with two Ababil attack drones, scoring confirmed hits.

At 8:30 pm, fighters destroyed a sixth Merkava tank near the fortress with a guided missile.

Between 4:30 pm and 11:00 pm, fighters carried out three separate rounds of artillery fire and three waves of heavy rocket salvos targeting occupation troop gatherings near the fortress.

At 11:40 pm, fighters destroyed a seventh Merkava tank near the fortress with a guided missile.

At 11:50 pm on Thursday, fighters targeted a gathering of IOFvehicles and troops in the vicinity of al-Shaqif Fortress with a swarm of one-way attack drones.

Operations in other areas

At 2:00 pm, fighters engaged an Israeli Hermes 450 “Zik” surveillance drone over the towns of Kfar Melki and Jbaa, forcing it to leave the area.

At 4:00 pm, and along the southern Lebanese border, Resistance fighters targeted a gathering of IOF vehicles and troops at the newly established Nemer al-Jamal outpost with two one-way attack drones.

At 6:45 pm on Thursday, fighters targeted a newly established Israeli occupation army position on Oweida Hill in the town of Odaisseh with a swarm of one-way attack drones.

At 9:00 pm, fighters targeted an Israeli force moving through the city of Khiam with a rocket salvo fired in two waves.

At 10:10 pm, fighters targeted a gathering of Israeli occupation vehicles and troops in the town of Rsheif with a rocket salvo.

Footage released

The Resistance’s Military Media unit released footage from three recent operations.

The first, from May 31, shows strikes on gatherings of Israeli occupation vehicles and troops in the towns of Qantara and Taybeh and near al-Shaqif Fortress, carried out with rocket salvos.

The second, from May 30, shows an Ababil one-way attack drone targeting Israeli occupation army technical equipment in the town of Rsheif.

The third, from May 26, shows an Ababil drone striking an Israeli occupation army Humvee near the riverbed outside the town of Zawtar al-Sharqiyah.

Thermal footage from June 2 shows an Ababil drone striking a Merkava tank on the southern outskirts of Zawtar al-Sharqiyah.

Sirens sound, drone explodes near Shlomi

Air raid sirens sounded across northern occupied Palestine on Thursday. Early morning alerts were activated in Arab al-Aramshe in western al-Jalil and Kfar Yuval in upper al-Jalil over fears of drone infiltration.

Later in the afternoon, sirens sounded across Hanita, Shlomi, Betzet, Ya’ara, Metzuba, and Admit in the western al-Jalil. Israeli media reported that the air force was attempting to intercept hostile aircraft in the area, and that a drone subsequently exploded near Shlomi.

Israeli media further noted that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the security minister had been present in Shlomi shortly before the Resistance opened fire. Sirens later sounded in Metula in al-Jalil Panhandle and in Kiryat Shmona and the surrounding area.

IOF casualties

An Israeli army captain from the 75th Battalion of the 7th Armored Brigade was killed in southern Lebanon on Thursday after an anti-tank missile struck a tank belonging to a Golani Brigade combat team. Israeli Army Radio reported the strike occurred at approximately 4:00 pm. Other occupation soldiers were wounded in southern Lebanon, with at least one person reported in critical condition.

Israeli media subsequently reported a further serious security incident in southern Lebanon.

The Israeli military also announced that the total number of soldiers wounded since the resumption of fighting in early March has risen to 1,243, including 72 in serious condition and 140 in moderate condition.

Sixty-three officers and soldiers were wounded over the past four days alone, while twenty-seven officers and soldiers have been killed since fighting resumed.

What Israeli media is saying

Israeli Army Radio reported that Hezbollah attacks Israeli forces near al-Shaqif Fortress every day using approximately 15 explosive-laden drones.

The broadcaster also revealed that minutes after senior Golani Brigade officers were present near the fortress, the Resistance launched a one-way attack drone toward a nearby military force, a detail that follows an earlier report by Channel 14 that an FPV drone struck the vehicle of the Northern Command chief during a patrol in southern Lebanon last May, in what the IOF considered an assassination attempt.

Israeli Channel 14 also reported on Thursday that a heated dispute broke out during a meeting between the heads of northern local authorities and the General Staff Forum. Northern Command chief Maj. Gen. Rafi Milo was quoted by attendees as saying the occupation cannot eliminate Hezbollah, only inflict severe blows and weaken it, remarks that drew a furious response from several local council heads.

The head of the Metula Local Council said the state had abandoned residents and returned them to a reality of constant alerts.

IRGC declares no calm without zionist withdrawal from Lebanon

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps issued on Thursday a statement to comment the recent events in Lebanon, indicating that this land continues to be subjected to brutal attacks by the usurping Zionist entity.

“The positions of rejection and condemnation issued by international institutions, states, and peoples have had no impact on the behavior of the bloodthirsty rulers of Tel Aviv. Moreover, the interventions of the United States, which claims to seek the establishment of peace, have resulted only in more crimes and genocide.”

“Despite its equipment and capabilities, the weak and cowardly Zionist army compensates for its failures on the battlefronts by killing civilians and destroying homes, hospitals, and schools. This racist regime, despite the unlimited support it receives from the United States and European countries, has throughout its history been unable to win the hearts of the inhabitants of even a single village in the occupied territories, and it has been known only for imposing control over destroyed lands. We continue to witness daily the demolition of the homes of oppressed Palestinians and Lebanese at the hands of this aggressor regime.”

The Lebanese people will not allow the usurping entity to achieve through an imposed agreement—supported by the United States, which the statement describes as “child-killer”—what it failed to achieve in war, the statement added.

“Our basic condition for accepting a ceasefire in the regional war was a ceasefire on all fronts, including Lebanon. The enemy must immediately stop its attacks on the Lebanese people, and quickly withdraw from the occupied Lebanese territories to beyond the international borders, and recognize Lebanon’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.”

“The Lebanese people are a source of pride for the Islamic nation and a symbol of the honor of the peoples of the region. We will stand by them with all the strength we possess, and no calm will be achieved in the region unless there is a withdrawal from the occupied Lebanese territories,” the statement affirmed.

What’s Behind Hezbollah’s Legendary Resilience?

Despite the unprecedented scale of the challenges and the severe, successive blows inflicted on its leadership and military structure in recent times, Hezbollah has once again emerged at the forefront of the military and political landscape in the Middle East as an exceptional and unique model of dynamic adaptation and strategic resilience.

Amid the highly complex and turbulent regional and international environment currently surrounding Lebanon, Hezbollah has demonstrated that the concept of “resistance” is not merely a broad slogan or an emotional ideology, but rather an integrated institutional system and a deeply rooted combat doctrine that operational experience has proven to be resistant to collapse or elimination.

So what structural, geographical, and political factors have converged to make this resilience a reality that has imposed itself on the battlefield through force of arms and at regional and international political tables through the force of facts on the ground?

First: Organizational flexibility and decentralization (the adaptive mind of the Resistance)

Contemporary historical experience, particularly over the past two years, has demonstrated that the targeting and assassination of senior first-rank leaders—most notably former Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah—did not lead to the collapse of the command-and-control structure as its adversaries had expected and planned.

On the contrary, the party quickly absorbed the shock, and a number of structural developments emerged that enabled it to overcome the crisis and continue managing the battle with high efficiency. Among the most important were:

Flexible collective leadership: Through its consultative institutions and multiple leadership councils, Hezbollah succeeded in reorganizing its ranks, filling leadership vacuums with remarkable smoothness, and injecting experienced new blood under the leadership of Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem. This surprised global intelligence circles that had bet on the party’s fragmentation.

Operational military decentralization: The carefully planned shift toward smaller combat units with greater independence in field decision-making rendered the entire system less vulnerable to the effects of intensive aerial strikes.

As a result, every geographical area became capable of fighting and managing itself without the need for direct and continuous communication with the central leadership.

This structural transformation was achieved through close cooperation and accumulated shared expertise with Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps, which possesses extensive experience in developing asymmetric warfare strategies.

A sophisticated reliance on guerrilla warfare: Hezbollah’s military ingenuity is evident in its complete avoidance of conventional confrontations that would favor the enemy’s air and technological superiority.

Instead, its strategy focused on well-planned and numerous ambushes, the use of anti-tank weapons (including Kornet missiles and their third-generation variants), the deployment of loitering attack drones, and the balanced use of both long- and short-range missiles. This has inflicted continuous human and material losses on Israeli forces and efficiently exhausted their offensive capabilities.

Second: Infrastructure and geostrategic acumen

This military resilience against one of the world’s most powerful military machines was not the product of chance or luck. Rather, it was the result of decades of painstaking engineering planning and exceptional strategic foresight regarding Lebanon’s geography, embodied in two key elements:

The network of tunnels and underground facilities: The fortified tunnel network and strategic storage facilities extending across complex terrain—particularly north of the Litani River and deep into the Bekaa Valley—constitute a formidable military fortress. This complex engineering system makes it nearly impossible for modern military technologies, including bunker-busting bombs and satellite surveillance, to penetrate or completely destroy it. It has provided a secure environment for storing ballistic missiles and launching drones.

Adaptation to disruptions in external supply lines: Despite the dramatic geopolitical changes that unfolded in Syria, including the fall of President Bashar al-Assad’s government and the subsequent loss of some traditional land-based logistical supply routes that had served as a vital artery, the Resistance demonstrated an exceptional capacity for innovation.

This was reflected in the activation of mechanisms for the local production of low-cost, highly effective drones and the domestic manufacture of short-range missiles, in addition to the intelligent utilization of alternative maritime routes and geographic workarounds. This self-reliance granted the party a degree of temporary military self-sufficiency sufficient to sustain a prolonged war of attrition.

Third: Popular depth and a solid social base

The true and enduring strength of any liberation or resistance movement in modern history is not measured solely by the size of its missile arsenal or military equipment, but first and foremost by the cohesion of its internal front and the extent of its roots in the consciousness of its people.

A bond forged through blood and sacrifice: In southern Lebanon, Beirut’s Southern Suburb, and the Bekaa Valley, Hezbollah continues to enjoy a solid historical popular base that has endured through hardship. This base views the party’s weapons and fighters as the only effective deterrent shield protecting it and defending Lebanese sovereignty against any external expansionist ambitions, believing that the cost of resistance remains far lower than the cost of surrender and external subjugation.

The social and institutional safety net: Despite severe financial restrictions and the harsh economic pressures facing Lebanon, the party’s service and civil institutions—such as the Islamic Health Authority, educational and relief organizations, and Jihad al-Binaa—have continued to provide direct and sustained support to displaced persons, the families of martyrs, and those affected by conflict. This active social presence has reinforced the resilience of its support base and preserved social cohesion behind the choice of resistance during the most difficult circumstances.

Fourth: Internal and regional political balance

Despite intense and ongoing local and international political and media campaigns aimed at disarming and isolating the party, political realities indicate that it continues to hold the stronger position within the broader equation, based on objective factors:

Strong political alliances: Hezbollah possesses an extensive network of influence and powerful allies with significant political weight in Lebanon’s complex political landscape. Foremost among them is the Amal Movement, led by Speaker of Parliament Nabih Berri, who leads the diplomatic and negotiating front in full coordination with developments on the ground. This prevents any attempt to isolate the party politically or impose terms of surrender upon it.

The prudence of state institutions and the military: The Lebanese Army’s leadership and the country’s official and security institutions understand that any armed confrontation or comprehensive clash with Hezbollah would only drag Lebanon into a devastating civil war with unpredictable consequences.

Accordingly, the official Lebanese position remains governed by delicate balances and by the prioritization of civil peace and internal stability above all else.

Sustained regional support from its ally: The Islamic Republic of Iran remains strategically and ideologically committed to providing all forms of financial, logistical, advisory, and diplomatic support to Hezbollah.

Iran views Hezbollah as the cornerstone and crown jewel of the “Axis of Resistance.” Preserving its strength and influence is considered a vital national security interest, ensuring the continued flow of critical resources and alternatives necessary for endurance and persistence in both the political and military arenas.

Conclusion

In the final analysis, it becomes clear that Hezbollah’s resilience in the face of fierce storms is neither a fleeting miracle nor a temporary anomaly. It is the inevitable outcome of a complex and realistic equation that combines a rigid yet flexible ideological organization, a loyal social base willing to make sacrifices, intelligent use of geography and tunnel networks, and a supportive regional strategic depth.

Despite the heavy costs and losses endured by Lebanon, developments on the ground continue to demonstrate day after day that the Resistance is capable of thwarting and breaking the enemy’s plans, and that no political settlement or future regional architecture can proceed without recognizing Hezbollah as a central force and a key actor—one that cannot be bypassed or removed from the regional chessboard.

Statement By Hezbollah Regarding the Presence of the Enemy in the Historic Shaqif Castle

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful {Permission [to fight] has been given to those who are being fought, because they were wronged. And indeed, Allah is competent to grant them victory.}

Allah, the Most High, the Most Great, has spoken the truth.

Due to the significant negative impact caused by the footage broadcast by the Islamic Resistance of its operations against the Israeli enemy forces on the consciousness of settlers within the occupation entity, the enemy army has strived to obtain an image it could promote as a sweeping victory, hoping to calm the fears of the northern settlers. The target was the historic Shaqif Castle in southern Lebanon, located about 4 km from the Lebanese-Palestinian border.

For more than five days, the Israeli enemy launched a series of violent airstrikes and heavy artillery bombardment on the town of Yohmor al-Shaqif and the surrounding villages, aiming to seize and occupy Shaqif Castle. As soon as it advanced towards the southern outskirts of the town, it faced heroic and fierce resistance and heavy fire from the Islamic Resistance fighters, preventing it from achieving its goal. The enemy was forced to resort to the eastern outskirts of the town, which are characterized by rugged terrain. At sunset on Saturday, 30/05/2026, an Israeli infantry group infiltrated under heavy smoke cover from the eastern side of Shaqif Castle, where the paths are not visible, reached the castle, and took a series of photographs. The enemy quickly distributed these photos on Sunday morning, promoting the claim that it had occupied the castle, knowing that the castle was devoid of any military presence of the Resistance.

Since dawn yesterday and until the time of issuing this statement, the enemy has faced great difficulty in securing its forces around the castle, with these forces present near the rest area below the castle. The Islamic Resistance is waging a battle of attrition against the Israeli enemy forces present in the area, and the upcoming footage will prove this.

{And victory is not but from Allah, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.}

The Journey to the Second Liberation of South Lebanon

Twenty-six years on from the liberation of South Lebanon, the message has become clear: as long as the Israeli regime remains, peace will never be possible. This year’s Liberation Day anniversary will be observed by a population that is now fighting another struggle against occupation, one that will have implications beyond the freeing of Lebanese lands alone.

On May 25, 2000, the Israeli occupation forces withdrew from most of the Lebanese lands they had occupied illegally in 1982; a move that came following nearly two decades of brutal oppression and was triggered as a result of the fierce resistance waged by the local population. For the Arab World, and specifically for the Palestinian cause for national liberation, that day became a signal that resistance does work.

A day later, former Hezbollah Secretary General, martyr Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, delivered his famous ‘Spider’s Web’ speech from a small football stadium in Bint Jbeil, arguing that the Lebanese model of armed resistance is a blueprint for the Palestinian people. This address has haunted the Israeli senior leadership ever since.

What Sayyed Nasrallah laid out was the theory that the Zionist regime was frailer than a spider’s web, meaning that despite its exterior, internally it was weak and could easily be cut down. He paid particular attention, when stating this metaphor, to ensuring the public knew precisely what he meant, which was that the Israeli society was incapable of enduring the repercussions of the regime’s policies. Today, this speech could not be more relevant.

The Israeli military doctrine, since the entity’s founding, has been based on the concept of always fighting short wars and avoiding wars of attrition. David Ben-Gurion, the first Israeli Prime Minister, was the first to ensure that his settler project implemented this doctrine, arguing that because his military was more advanced, they could manage to inflict defeats on the enemies, but that the wars it fought had to be limited due to the overwhelming numerical advantages on the Arab side.

If you look back through Israeli military history, you will also notice a pattern of short wars, especially those in which the Zionist entity achieved significant gains. Their most successful war was the “6-Day War” for example. Even last year, their attack on Iran became the “12-Day War”.

The Israelis withdrew from South Lebanon because they understood that the fight they were facing was going to bog them down and drain them, especially as the Lebanese Resistance was gradually growing in strength. In the Gaza Strip, the same concept applied in 2005. They ran cost-benefit analyses and decided it was best to leave.

Over the years, having only fought short wars against militarily inferior opponents, the Israeli society was able to live in its own bubble world. The consequences of their actions were a small price to pay, especially if these consequences were only felt during shorter periods of time. Other than this, they maintained belligerent occupations, meaning that their army was transformed into more of a riot police force than a proper standing army.

During the Second Intifada, which began in 2000, only months after the liberation of South Lebanon, the Israelis then transitioned into a method of warfare that depended more heavily on “targeted assassinations” and special forces raids. They implemented this strategy, alongside their counterinsurgency approach to warfare, and specialized in occupying civilian populations.

In 2006, they encountered a new obstacle, sustained rocket fire on their settlements, managing to blast as deep into occupied Palestine as Haifa. Later on, the Palestinian Resistance would develop its own rockets and eventually reach Tel Aviv and beyond. However, due to Gaza’s resistance being significantly weaker than Hezbollah, they settled for limited wars of aggression where they would implement the infamous “Dahieh Doctrine” – targeting the civilian population as a means of achieving future “deterrence”.

Lebanese Hezbollah managed to deter the Israelis for 17 years, even managing to force the Zionists to accept an agreement demarcating Lebanese maritime borders. However, the October 7 Al-Aqsa Flood operation jolted the Israelis into a reactionary and accelerationist mindset; they were no longer willing to slowly achieve their goals; instead, they had to do things at a pace in their minds.

But they fell into a trap; they were dragged into a war of attrition. In Gaza, this was something they could survive because the rocket fire gradually dwindled, and their soldiers refused to actually fight the Palestinian Resistance head-on. Instead, they carried out a genocide from a distance, mainly, with their main goal being to destroy buildings.

Which brings us back to South Lebanon. As you read this, the second guerrilla war of liberation is being waged, aiming at achieving an even bigger goal than was achieved in 2000. Hezbollah is now facing a similar predicament to what occurred in 1982 when the Israelis declared a “security zone” in southern Lebanon, which they maintained until the formal occupation was declared in 1985.

The major difference is that the Lebanese Resistance was still in its infancy in the 1980s, and the Palestinian Resistance had left in 1982. This time, the Israelis have been drawn into a trap, one that they cannot easily get out of. It is the beginning of the spider’s web theory proving itself in real time.

Although the war is being fought at a somewhat lower intensity since the announcement of a temporary ceasefire, the invading Zionist militants are being dealt blows on an hourly basis in the south and northern occupied Palestine. You need only look at their media to realize that Israeli society is under pressure in the north already, and the war of attrition has just begun.

The people of Lebanon and Palestine, who form the backbone of their national liberation movements, have proven themselves hardy and capable of enduring the hardships of war, while standing behind their Resistance fighters who come from amongst them. In the case of the Zionists, their army is formed of their public, who are conscripted into it, meaning it is a settlers’ armed forces, but they are a fundamentally weak society.

For the Israelis, they are more interested in living a Western European style of life and aren’t willing to make the necessary sacrifices to win wars of attrition, despite the superiority of their military equipment and intelligence services. A few occasional rockets are enough for tens of thousands to flee their homes, while a Lebanese farmer will remain in his fields as the bombs drop on his village. Right after the so-called ceasefire of November 2024, the people of the South immediately returned home; the settlers did not.

The Israeli army is also suffering a manpower shortage, has drawn back its presence in South Lebanon already due to the FPV drone threat, and has to score fake symbolic victories, such as planting flags in Bint Jbeil, while failing to properly maintain control of the area where Hezbollah fighters continue to watch and target them.

While the initial period between 1982 and 1985 was simple for the Israelis in the way of securing their occupation of the South, this time they are already being battered and have not achieved one goal yet. Desperately, they cling to their targeted assassinations, believing this will transform the battlefield. Another mistake born out of arrogance.

South Lebanon’s liberation in May 2000 birthed the Spider’s Web Theory of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah. In May 2026, that theory is being put to the test. So far, we see that the fighters on the ground are proving Sayyed Nasrallah correct.

Zionist Regime ‘Surprised’ by Scale of Hezbollah Retaliation After Escalation in Lebanon

The zionist regime has been caught off guard by the scale and intensity of Hezbollah’s rocket and drone attacks, launched in response to the regime’s expanded ground offensive and deadly airstrikes in southern Lebanon.

Hebrew Channel 13 reported on Sunday that the zionist military was surprised by both the intensity of the attacks and Hezbollah’s decision to alter its response strategy after zionist forces expanded ground offensives north of the Litani River.

According to the report, the regime’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened security consultations as northern communities faced continuous alerts, interceptions, and rocket impacts.

Over the weekend, Hezbollah launched multiple barrages of rockets toward Haifa, Nahariya, Acre, Safed and Kiryat Shmona, while also carrying out drone attacks against zionist troops operating in southern Lebanon.

The zionist military told AFP that more than 25 projectiles were fired from Lebanon on Saturday alone.

Air raid sirens sounded repeatedly across the northern occupied territories, including in Safed and Karmiel, for the first time since the ceasefire took effect in March.

Zionist media described the weekend as one of the most intense periods of cross-border fire in recent months, reporting that residents in northern settlements spent hours moving between shelters amid continuous sirens, interceptions and explosions.

In response to the deteriorating security situation, zionist authorities ordered the closure of schools and tightened restrictions on public gatherings and work activities across parts of the Upper Galilee.

The escalation followed a significant expansion of zionist airstrikes and ground offensive in southern Lebanon.

Zionist warplanes carried out extensive strikes across Nabatieh, Deir al-Zahrani, Dibbin and other areas, while troops advanced toward the historic Beaufort Castle in Nabatieh province.

Lebanese media reported that at least eight people were killed and 20 others wounded in attacks on Sunday, including strikes on residential homes.

According to Lebanese authorities, since early March, zionist attacks have killed more than 3,371 people, injured over 10,129 others and displaced more than 1.6 million people.

Despite repeated ceasefire extensions, occupation forces have continued airstrikes and military operations across parts of Lebanon.

Tel Aviv claims the offensive is intended to push Hezbollah forces farther away from the border and reduce the “threat” posed by continued cross-border attacks targeting northern and central areas of Israeli territory.

Hezbollah, however, says its attacks are a response to ongoing zionist aggression and military incursions, and a legitimate act of resistance to defend Lebanon’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Zionist media outlets reported that six soldiers were injured, including three in critical condition, in Beit Hillel following a strike on a military installation in the Marj Ibn Amer area, as a result of drone attacks.

Zionist media reported on Sunday that six casualties were recorded, three of them in serious condition, after a military base in the northern occupied territories was targeted in drone strikes launched from Lebanon.

The reports said the injuries in Beit Hillel, including three critically wounded, resulted from the detonation of an attack unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).

They further indicated that a military facility in the northern HaEmek region (Marj Ibn Amer) sustained a direct hit.

Zionist media added,  “From the early hours, when air-raid sirens sounded across northern towns, an alert was triggered almost every 25 minutes,” noting: “There were no fewer than 14 waves of alerts today across more than thirty towns and locations, including Acre, where sirens were activated for the first time in three weeks.”

They also reported advance warnings in the Kiryot area, with no changes announced to the Home Front Command’s public safety instructions.

Hezbollah cross-border ops. intensify; rocket, drone launches surge

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon – Hezbollah remains steadfast in defending Lebanon and its people as the zionist aggression rages on, announcing a new set of military operations targeting Israeli assets inside Lebanon and across the border.

Among the declared operations, two were carried out on Saturday, May 30, during which Resistance fighters targeted a zionist Merkava tank at 11:20 pm in al-Bayyada with a precision-guided missile, achieving a direct hit.

30 minutes later, a zionist enemy force, consisting of soldiers and their vehicles, was targeted in al-Bayyada with a rocket barrage.

Hezbollah fighters repel zionist  advance attempt to Zawtar al-Sharqiyah

In light of circulating reports about occupation forces’ entry and control of Zawtar al-Sharqiyah in southern Lebanon, reports affirmed that they are entirely unfounded.

In fact, since dawn on Tuesday, Resistance fighters have been engaged in intense and sustained confrontations on the outskirts of the town, repelling repeated attempts by occupation forces to advance. According to field reports, the confrontations began following heavy zionist preparatory fire, including intensive airstrikes and artillery shelling across the area.

As the troops tried to advance, Resistance fighters confronted them with coordinated rocket fire, artillery shells, and drone operations, in addition to engaging them in close-quarters combat. The confrontations inflicted heavy losses on Israeli personnel and equipment, as Resistance units maintained defensive positions and continued confrontations throughout the night.

Reports zionist entry, control of Zawtar al-Sharqiya outright false

After reports spread regarding the occupation forces entry to and capture of the town of Zawtar al-Sharqiya, reporters in southern Lebanon confirmed that they are outright false.

On that note, correspondents reported that confrontations between Resistance fighters and Israeli occupation forces are taking place along the riverbanks and surrounding terrain, where Resistance units are actively targeting supply routes and military vehicles using drones, rocket salvos, and artillery fire.

According to the field reports, close-quarters combat is still ongoing between the Resistance and Israeli occupation forces on the outskirts of the town.

The correspondent also reported drones launched from Lebanon toward northern occupied territories, noting that Resistance operations continue to target gatherings and positions of the Israeli occupation forces, including direct strikes on command centers.

He added that the successive operations reflect a high level of surveillance, tracking, and fire coordination by the Resistance, despite the ongoing Israeli air and intelligence blockade over southern Lebanon.

Hezbollah publishes footage of operations

Hezbollah’s Military Media also published footage documenting operations carried out recently against Israeli assets, soldiers, and more, in southern Lebanon.

Hezbollah published footage of an operation on May 22 targeting an IOF Merkava tank using an Ababil FPV in the town of Markaba, southern Lebanon.

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon also released footage of an operation, dated May 26, 2026, targeting a zionist military Humvee in the town of Bint Jbeil in South Lebanon, with the Ababil FPV drone.

In the background of the drone setting, the fighters showed a banner, saying this operation is dedicated to the martyrs of the Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School in Minab.

Ansar Allah declares support for Hezbollah a duty

Ansar Allah leader Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi said that Hezbollah continues to confront the zionist aggression with “steadfastness, resilience, and effectiveness,” while calling on Muslims across the region to support both Hezbollah and the Palestinian people.

In remarks delivered during a speech on Tuesday on the eve of Eid al-Adha, Sayyed al-Houthi urged the Islamic nation to use religious occasions to strengthen unity, awareness, and collective resolve, particularly “under the US-Israeli assault.”

He said Iran’s position in confronting Israeli and Western pressure should serve as a “catalyst for strengthening Islamic brotherhood and enhancing cooperation among the peoples of the region against Zionism,” adding that the broader Islamic world should draw lessons from Tehran’s steadfastness in confronting US-Israeli aggression.

‘Greater Israel’ threatens entire region

Sayyed al-Houthi warned that the Israeli project pursued under the banner of establishing “Greater Israel” and reshaping the “Middle East” does not target Palestine alone, but threatens the entire region and all its peoples.

He also described the suffering of the Palestinian people as “a deep wound in the body of the Islamic nation,” arguing that continued inaction by Muslim countries only allows “Israel” to expand its aggression further.

“The duty of Muslims is to provide every form of support to the Palestinian people, their resistance fighters, and Hezbollah in Lebanon,” he said.

The Ansar Allah leader added that the Yemeni people had not remained passive in the face of the war on Gaza Strip and had not abandoned their “sacred responsibilities” in confronting oppression and tyranny.

Resistance Tribute

Earlier Tuesday, the political bureau of Ansar Allah marked the 26th anniversary of Lebanon’s Resistance and Liberation Day, praising martyred Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah for leading the Resistance movement “through the darkest circumstances” and carrying it “into an era of victories.”

The movement also renewed congratulations to the Lebanese people, Hezbollah, and Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem, while warning against normalization with “Israel” and stressing that Lebanon would have remained vulnerable to Israeli aggression without the sacrifices of the Resistance.

On May 17: Homelands are Protected Through Resistance, Not Through Surrender

Homelands are protected
Through resistance, not through surrender.

The forty-third anniversary of the May 17 Agreement, the agreement of humiliation, disgrace and betrayal, comes as the Zionist enemy continues, with open U.S. and Western support, its brutal aggression against Palestine, Lebanon, and the peoples of the region through killing, destruction, siege, occupation and assassination, as well as through its daily attacks on southern Lebanon and its ongoing violations of national sovereignty by land, sea and air.

The May 17 Agreement constituted an attempt to subordinate Lebanon to the U.S.-Zionist project, to strike at the will of its resistant people, and to transform the country into an arena subjected to the conditions of occupation and domination. However, this agreement collapsed through the unity of the Lebanese National Resistance with the popular, national and progressive forces, and thanks to the immense sacrifices made by the resistance fighters and the Lebanese people in defense of freedom, sovereignty and national dignity.

Today, the very same forces of domination are attempting once again to reproduce projects of surrender and normalization in new forms, under the banners of “peace,” “stability,” and “political realism,” while the Zionist enemy continues its occupation, aggression, and crimes against the peoples of the region. These calls express nothing but the desire to subordinate Lebanon and the region to U.S. and Zionist interests and to impose political defeat upon the peoples after the occupation failed to break the will of the resistance.

The Zionist entity is not a partner for peace, but a racist settler-colonial entity founded upon occupation, displacement and aggression, and it can only be confronted through resistance, popular unity, and adherence to the path of national and Arab liberation.

Experience has proven, time and again, that reliance on American mediation and political concessions has brought Lebanon nothing but more pressure, aggression and violation. U.S. imperialism is not a mediator between Lebanon and the Zionist enemy, but rather the direct partner and commanding force behind the continuing aggression against Lebanon, Palestine and the region. It is the true sponsor of the projects of domination, normalization and subjugation. In contrast, the national and popular resistance, in all its forms, has proven itself to be the force capable of protecting the land and defending the rights and dignity of the people.

We, in the Joint Leadership of the Popular Democratic Party and the Arab Socialist Action Party – Lebanon, reaffirm our commitment to the path of resistance and liberation, and our complete rejection of all forms of normalization, settlement and surrender. We further affirm that confronting the Zionist project is part of a broader struggle against imperialist domination, exploitation and dependency.

We call for strengthening the unity of the national, popular and progressive forces; for upholding the right of peoples to resistance, liberation, return and self-determination; and for supporting the steadfastness of our people in the South and in Palestine in the face of aggression and occupation.

Lebanon, thanks to its resistance fighters, its free people and its workers, will remain beyond the reach of projects of subjugation and normalization. Palestine will remain the central cause of the Arab nation and the compass of the liberation struggle, until the liberation of the land and the people and the complete victory over occupation, colonialism and American-Zionist imperialist domination.
