Delegation of journalists receive a military briefing from a Hezbollah officer on the Lebanese-Israeli border; reporters told of ‘Israeli settlements built on Palestinian ruins and pure land,’ while also learning about apparent Israeli military reinforcements and the deployment of ‘espionage systems’ on the border; ‘Israel went from an offensive to a defensive doctrine.’

Hezbollah recently held a tour for members of the press on the Israeli-Lebanese border, during which the terror group told a delegation of international journalists of how Israel deployed troops and attacked Lebanon and its apparent espionage against Beirut.

Led by a senior officials in the militia, the guide provided a detailed descriptions of IDF positions, and pointed to alleged locations of espionage systems, claiming that Israel had beefed up its defensive capacity on the border.

“They went from an offensive doctrine to one of defense,” the tour guide is heard saying in the video in which Israeli military and civilian vehicles can be seen from the Lebanese side of the fence.

The initiative came at the behest of one of the officers of the group who arranged a briefing for the international media in the Ayta ash Shab village in southern Lebanon.

“We are now situated in the south of the village opposite Palestinian territory which the Zionist enemy occupied,” the guide told the journalists.

In his opening remarks, he outlined the subjects which would be covered.

“We will briefly explain here the geographical reality on the holy ground, the Israeli enemy’s deployment and the defensive steps that the enemy recently took—the reinforcement of engineer work, fortifications, barriers and the deployment of espionage systems.”

The tour guide then goes on to explain how Israel defiled the land with the construction of settlements.

"The Israeli enemy built a large number of settlements on the ruins of the Palestinians and on the pure land," he said. "As you can see, there are military outposts here that are affiliated with the Western Brigade—Brigade 300—which is subordinate to the Northern Command, which recently appointed as its commander, Major General Yoel Strick."

Apparently seeking to demonstrate his familiarity with the fabric of the IDF, the officer then elaborated for the reporters on the composition of the Northern Command’s two divisions.

Hezbollah highlights IDF defensive measures on border


In a tour of the border given to journalists, Hezbollah's information department claims that the organization is ready to repel any Israeli attack, says the IDF's new defensive posture demonstrates Hezbollah's strength.

Hezbollah's information department gave journalists a tour of the border with Israel Thursday, highlighting new IDF fortifications, antennas, armored vehicles and watchtowers—defensive positions that Hezbollah guides claim will be overrun so that "resistance forces will penetrate their settlements."

In an interview with the Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation (LBC), Mohammed Afif, head of Hezbollah's information department, said that Hezbollah is ready to repel any Israeli attack. Additionally, he also accused Israel and the IDF of waging a media and psychological war against Lebanon.

Ihab, the Hezbollah officer leading the tour, added that Israel is listening to the remarks of Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah and is taking steps since the latter threatened to invade the Galilee.

Media outlets in Lebanon claim that the tour with Hezbollah was coordinated ahead of time with the Lebanese Army and UNIFIL—the UN force stationed in southern Lebanon.
