Middle East Monitor – March 26, 2026
Hezbollah has released details of what it described as a complex, well-planned ambush carried out by its forces on the Taybeh–Qantara axis in southern Lebanon, which it says resulted in the destruction of 10 Israeli Merkava tanks.
In a statement, the group’s operations room said Israeli forces had sent a remotely controlled bulldozer on Tuesday between the Mhaysibat area in Taybeh and the town of Qantara to scout Hezbollah positions. It said the vehicle was monitored and allowed to proceed in order to lure Israeli forces into an ambush.
The statement added that at 18:50 on Wednesday, an Israeli armoured unit advanced in a column formation from Mhaysibat towards Qantara in preparation to take control of the town. When the vehicles entered the ambush zone, Hezbollah fighters fired guided missiles at the central unit, consisting of four Merkava tanks and a D9 bulldozer, which the group said were completely destroyed.
It said that as a rear unit of four Merkava tanks attempted to deploy a heavy smoke screen to conceal its position, it was also hit by guided missiles, destroying its combat readiness.
At the same time, Hezbollah said its artillery units targeted Israeli command positions in the Taybeh project area, Rab Thalathin and Oudaiseh, as well as reinforcements sent to evacuate casualties.
According to the statement, a forward unit tried to continue advancing towards the entrance of Qantara but was met with direct missile fire. Hezbollah said one D9 bulldozer and two Merkava tanks were destroyed, forcing Israeli soldiers to abandon the remaining vehicles and withdraw on foot towards Mhaysibat while attempting to evacuate the wounded.
The group said the operation had thwarted the Israeli advance and inflicted losses of 10 tanks and two D9 bulldozers. It added that this brought the total number of Israeli tanks it claims to have destroyed over 48 hours to 18, following a similar ambush two days earlier on the Taybeh–Deir Seryan axis, which it said destroyed eight Merkava tanks.
lovely thanks you hezbollah
Poll of the day: Can new director-general Matt Brittin restore trust in the BBC?
Story by Daily Mail Reporter
dont be silly the BBC is too corrupt
as john lennon said ” the bbc is only for jews and poofs”
Well the kikes were defeated after their invasion of Lebanon in 2006. It will be the same again in 2026 only this time they will be defeated AND destroyed.
It is a dent in Israeli armor but they will have to do much better than that. There are hundreds of Israeli tanks in southern Lebanon. Israel has between 1500 and 2000 tanks in its arsenal and at least 300 of the latest heavy Merkava Mk 4’s most of which are likely deployed in the south Lebanon land grabbing operation, going on under the cover of the war they started with Iran and left the US to fight.
MORE…the world needs more Israeli troops in the ground…make them suffer the way they make the rest of the world suffer
The grand total of tanks destroyed so far since March 2nd is 100.

God bless the Hezbollah.
The Lebanon Army – if there is any – should merge into the Hezbollah
forces, and the Hezbollah should then be called The New Lebanon Army.
Lebanon people, Stop the infighting and stand together against the Satanic Khazarian-Jewish soldiers who want to genocide you all, as those Satanist’s plan is to take all Lebanon and make Lebanon a part of a “Greater Jisrael”.
Forbid all communication equipment with parts coming from your Satanic enemy. That is APPLE phones ans G00GLE phones (Android-phones=G00GLE-phones), and other surveillance equipment. With those they use to kill “the best among the goyim” in Lebanon, and elsewhere.
