Recalling the 2024 war log, Hezbollah’s Military Media on Friday unveiled new details from the sixty-first day of the Israeli offensive against Lebanon. During this phase, Resistance fighters intensified their ground and cross-border operations, marking significant advances amid the ongoing Israeli assault.
These revelations form part of the “Formidable in Might” documentary series—an episodic production by Hezbollah’s Military Media that chronicles the daily progression of the conflict.
More than a simple chronicle, the series serves as a historical testament to endurance and sacrifice, portraying the stories of men who, through their blood and resilience, inscribed enduring chapters of valor in the annals of the resistance.
Marking the fifty-eighth day of the war, Hezbollah’s Military Media also outlined the Islamic Resistance’s operations conducted on Friday, 22 November 2024.
Fierce Ground Engagements
In a sustained response to ongoing Israeli aggression and in defense of Lebanon and its people, the Islamic Resistance carried out 38 military operations on Friday, 22 November 2024. The actions—executed mainly with strike drones, rockets, and artillery—targeted Israeli occupation settlements, bases, barracks, and troop concentrations along the Lebanese–Palestinian frontier.
On the ground, Islamic Resistance fighters ambushed an Israeli infantry unit attempting to advance toward the town of Jubbayn. As the force entered the kill zone, fighters opened fire with machine guns and anti-armor weapons, triggering fierce clashes that lasted more than three hours and left several Israeli soldiers dead and wounded.
Later, Resistance fighters tracked a Merkava tank moving near Jubbayn and struck it with a guided missile, destroying it and leaving its crew between dead and injured. Another Merkava tank was similarly targeted and destroyed near the vicinity of the former Khiam detention camp, south of the town of Khiam.
Throughout the day, Resistance units attacked Israeli troop gatherings and movements on the outskirts of Khiam, Kfar Kila, Deir Mimas, Yarin, and Shama’a, using successive waves of strike drones, rockets, and artillery fire.
Rocket Force Expands Target Bank
The Resistance’s rocket units launched coordinated barrages at several Israeli military sites, settlements, and cities in northern occupied Palestine, including:
- Shraga Base, the administrative headquarters of the Golani Brigade north of occupied Acre.
- Habushit, a company command post of the Hermon 810 Brigade atop Mount Hermon in the occupied Syrian Golan.
- “Yisra’eli” Early-Warning Position, a key intelligence-gathering center for the 210 Golan Division on Mount Hermon.
- Occupied Safed.
As part of the ongoing Khaybar operations, the rocket force also fired a salvo of precision missiles at the Haifa Technical Base, an Israeli Air Force installation hosting a training college for air force technicians, located 35 km from the Lebanese–Palestinian border east of occupied Haifa. Another barrage targeted Stella Maris Base, a strategic naval-monitoring and coastal-surveillance site northwest of Haifa and also 35 km from the border.
In the same context, the Resistance struck Palmachim Base—a core Israeli Air Force installation housing drone squadrons, military helicopters, and a major research center—140 km from the Lebanese–Palestinian border south of Tel Aviv, with a salvo of specialized missiles.
Additionally, the Resistance Air Force launched a drone attack against Shraga Base, striking its designated targets with precision.
Israeli Media Reveals Failures in Aitaroun
Meanwhile, the Israeli enemy newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth published new details about last month’s deadly battle in Aitaroun. According to the report, an Israeli unit entered a destroyed house where two Hezbollah fighters had set an ambush, killing and wounding the entire force. The fighters then hurled grenades toward Israeli reinforcements, who also came under heavy fire, sustaining additional casualties.
The newspaper noted that the chain of command collapsed during the confrontation, prompting Division 91 to initiate kidnapping-response protocols under the mistaken assumption that soldiers had been captured. One participating Israeli soldier described the scene as chaotic, marked by shouting and intense gunfire.
Widespread Alarm in Northern Occupied Palestine
Over the course of the day, air-raid sirens sounded 23 times across northern occupied Palestine, particularly in settlements of the Upper Galilee and the Finger of Galilee, as well as along the coastal stretch from Ras al-Naqoura northward to the outskirts of occupied Haifa.
