Israeli Army: 18 Soldiers Dead, 910 Injured in Lebanon

The Israeli army revealed, Tuesday, its total casualty figures in the ongoing battles with the resistance movement in southern Lebanon since fighting resumed in 2 March, 2026

The army reported in an official statement that the deaths of 18 officers and soldiers, along with 910 that were wounded, during the continued clashes in southern part of the country and as reported by the the Palestinian Information Center.

The fierce battles in south Lebanon have been unexpected because of their intensity. The Israeli army noted that 190 officers and soldiers were wounded just in the past two weeks; it specified that 114 soldiers sustained moderate injuries, while 52 others were in serious condition.

However, the Israeli army put on a stiff upper lip. It claimed to have destroyed Hezbollah missile launchers, which it said were aimed at occupied Palestine and its forces were in forward deployment mode in southern Lebanon.

It also claimed to have killed 15 Hezbollah members, alleging they posed a “threat” to its forces, and announced the discovery of a weapons cache in the town of Rashaf, according to its statement released Tuesday evening.

The Israeli occupation army continues its intensive attacks on Lebanon as part of an ongoing aggression that has resulted in thousands of martyrs and wounded, in addition to the displacement of more than 1.6 million people.

Despite the fragile ceasefire that came into effect on April 17, the occupation forces continue their incursions into southern Lebanon, along with carrying out systematic demolitions and destruction of homes and buildings, and forcibly displacing residents from dozens of villages, under the pretext of targeting what they describe as “military infrastructure and Hezbollah elements.”

From Palestinian Heritage:

This historical photograph shows the Jaffa railway station, which opened in 1892 as part of the first railway line connecting Yafa and Jerusalem. It is considered one of the earliest railway stations in Palestine and the Middle East. Work on the project began in 1889, financed and managed by a French company, and it was officially opened on September 26, 1892. The Yafa-Jerusalem line was approximately 87 kilometers long and represented a significant leap forward in connecting the Palestinian coast to the Holy City. The station was built in the historic city of Yafa. The photograph shows the station buildings with their distinctive architectural design and the railway lines in front of them. Here the image colorization was made by Husam Abdullah Abu Farha

Hussam Abdelkareem reminds us:

This photograph was taken in Jerusalem in 1925. In the center is Lord Arthur Balfour, author of the infamous promise made by Britain in 1917 to the Zionists to establish a national home for the Jewish people in Palestine. To his right is General Edmund Allenby, the British commander who entered Jerusalem with his forces after the defeat of the Ottoman Empire at the end of World War I. The third is Sir Herbert Samuel, the Zionist, the first High Commissioner appointed by Britain as the ruler of Palestine in 1920.

Without these men, the State of Israel would not exist today.
