A newly released video by Hezbollah Military Media documents a large-scale ambush in which Israeli soldiers ran away in a failed advance attempt in the southern Lebanese town of Taybe.
The footage captures the area targeted during the March 28 operation, beginning with heavy rocket barrages and sustained fire targeting Israeli forces in southern Lebanon.
Hezbollah resistance fighters appear in the 5-minute video, launching rockets at the advancing force.
The video, released late on Sunday, then shows the aftermath of the ambush, with the area cleared of Israeli troops and engineering vehicles left abandoned following the rapid retreat.
The footage also displayed three Israeli vehicles alongside abandoned military gear, including helmets, boots, food supplies, and uniforms left behind by fleeing soldiers.
“At the end of the mission (Hezbollah operation), the Israeli bulldozers were rigged with explosives to detonate if enemy forces attempted to retrieve them; however, the enemy later struck and destroyed the vehicles after failing to recover them,” Hezbollah Military Media’s video concludes by this statement.
Meanwhile, the video also recalls the report in which Israeli Channel 12 quoted an Israeli military source as saying that the Israeli soldiers ran away after a withdrawal decision made by the military command in the spot.
The military source acknowledged the incident as a serious operational and leadership lapse, with criticism focusing not only on the retreat but also on decisions that worsened the situation and handed what was described as a “moral victory” to the opposing side.
