Exclusive Footage Shows Israeli Commando Battle with Hezbollah in Lebanon

Exclusive footage released by N12 captures a nighttime clash between Israeli Duvdevan Unit commandos and Hezbollah operatives on the Ali Taher ridge in Lebanon. The video documents intense, close-range firefights, revealing the moments an Israeli company commander, identified as Major B, was wounded by Hezbollah fire. The operative who shot Major B was subsequently killed by an Israeli sniper ambush as he attempted to escape into a tunnel shaft.

The mission, which took place last week, initially involved installing cameras on the ridge following the demolition of tunnels in the area on July 30. However, intelligence indicated that Hezbollah operatives were attempting to emerge due to shortages of food and water, prompting a shift in strategy to a sniper ambush. The footage shows the tense movement of the commandos in darkness and the subsequent heavy exchange of fire at very close distances.

Major B described the evolving situation, stating, "Tonight there will be a clash." He recounted identifying the Hezbollah operatives approximately seven meters away. Following the initial shots, a coordinated, massive opening of fire by all Israeli forces ensued. Despite his injury, Major B continued to direct his soldiers, with Lieutenant S taking command to complete the mission.

The video also highlights the critical medical response under fire. Paramedic Sergeant Y provided immediate treatment to Major B, applying a tourniquet while under heavy gunfire. Sergeant Y described the shift in responsibility, noting, "The only thing I see in front of my eyes is to get to the wounded as quickly as possible." The mission was successfully completed, with the commandos demolishing the entire ridge.

Hezbollah operatives were identified by sounds in Arabic, with Lieutenant S noting the ability to discern direction and number of individuals despite the darkness. The operation concluded with the successful demolition of tunnels and the ridge itself.
