Tel Aviv, March 17 (RHC)-- Israeli media outlets have scoffed at previous statements by the regime’s officials that Tel Aviv will “return Lebanon to the Stone Age” in any war against Hezbollah.  The media argued that the reality is the opposite and the Lebanese resistance movement is inflicting heavy losses on Israeli forces.

Hebrew-language Hadashot Bazaman news website re-posted a video on Saturday published by the military media bureau of Hezbollah, adding a voiceover of several Israeli authorities, notably the minister of military affairs Yoav Gallant, that Hezbollah and Lebanon will be "eroded" if war breaks out.  The video featured a bold title asking “Who is taking who to the Stone Age?”

Earlier, the head of the Margaliot settlement council, Eitan Davidi, had said Gallant, who once threatened to set back Lebanon to the Stone Age, has found himself in an embarrassing situation.  Davidi pointed to a blackout experienced in the aftermath of a rocket attack launched by Hezbollah on the Upper Galilee region, complaining, “Our settlements have ultimately been left without electricity, and we ended up being reverted to the Stone Age.”

The Israeli daily newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth on Thursday shed light on the situation facing individuals living in settlements built in the northern sector of the 1948 occupied territories.  According to the newspaper, the settlers are “depressed” and are posing questions such as “What do we do to end the nightmare of Hezbollah rockets?"

Yedioth Ahronoth cited an Israeli settler living in one of the settlements near the border with Lebanon as saying that “settlers there live among Hezbollah rockets,” describing the situation as “terrible.”

The newspaper noted that more than 60,000 residents of Galilee settlements have been displaced, and evacuated to other settlements since the start of the fighting in early October.

On Saturday, Hezbollah resistance fighters struck Israeli troops near the border with southern Lebanon in response to the regime’s ongoing genocidal war in Gaza, and in support of Palestinian fighters facing off a relentless offensive.

Lebanon’s Arabic-language al-Mayadeen television news network, citing a brief Hezbollah statement, reported that the group launched a rocket attack against the Israeli al-Baghdadi military outpost, and the designated target was precisely struck.

The Hezbollah resistance movement launched rocket and drone attacks on positions in the Israeli-occupied territories in retaliation for a deadly attack by the regime’s military on southern Lebanon carried out early on Sunday.  The development came as Hezbollah had earlier targeted the Israeli outposts of al-Malkia and al-Marj and a group of soldiers near al-Raheb site.

The Israeli regime has been attacking southern Lebanon off and on since October 7, when it launched the devastating campaign of death and destruction in Gaza.  In retaliation, Hezbollah has launched near-daily rocket attacks on Israeli positions.

At least 322 people have been killed on the Lebanese border, most of them Hezbollah fighters but also 56 civilians.  Israel says at least ten of its troopers and seven settlers have been killed in the area.

The fighting has forced the evacuation of tens of thousands from the northern part of the occupied territories, which have been pummeled by rocket fire and shelling carried out by Hezbollah and allied Palestinian groups.

Hezbollah has already fought off two Israeli wars against Lebanon in 2000 and 2006. The resistance forced the regime to retreat in both conflicts.
