Hezbollah strikes force Israeli defensive shift, exposing southern skies: Intel assessment

The latest intelligence assessment of the conflict zone in northern occupied territories reveals that Hezbollah's sustained military operations have compelled the Israeli regime to reconfigure its air defense posture, effectively stripping the southern occupied territories of aerial protection.

According to the assessment, which was shared with Press TV, the Lebanese resistance movement's ceaseless attacks on the northern occupied territories and southern Lebanese areas under Israeli military control have led to a significant shift in the enemy's defensive deployment.

The regime has been compelled to transfer air defense systems from the south to the north, creating a critical vulnerability in the skies over the southern occupied territories.

The assessment further indicates that Israeli intelligence services fundamentally miscalculated Hezbollah's operational capacity after more than a year of strategic patience shown by the Lebanese resistance movement despite near-daily cease violations by Israel.

Israeli intelligence estimates had previously assumed that the Hezbollah resistance movement lacked the ability to mount a large-scale offensive against the regime.

That assumption has now been overtaken by events on the ground, especially since March 1, with Hezbollah carrying out a record number of retaliatory military operations against the Israeli military and intelligence assets across the occupied territories.

Analysts point to the coordination between the Islamic Republic of Iran and Hezbollah as a key factor behind recent military achievements against the Israeli regime.

One source cited the successful Iranian operations against Dimona and other targets in the southern part of the occupied territories two days ago as a direct result of this coordination, enabled by the shift in Israeli ground force deployment.

Hezbollah's recent campaign has been characterized by an intense and unprecedented operational tempo. In recent days, the fighters of the resistance movement have carried out as many as two offensive operations per hour.

Among the most notable strikes was a missile attack that reached 200 kilometers deep into the occupied territories, as well as a significant blow inflicted on the Israeli regime’s ground forces operating in the northern sector.

On Monday, the movement carried out a record number of 62 operations against the regime targets, sending shockwaves across the occupied territories.

The coordinated pressure has left the Israeli regime grappling with a rapidly evolving battlefield dynamic, exposing vulnerabilities in both its defensive infrastructure and its prior intelligence assessments.
