The Hezbollah representative also claimed that six weeks into Israel’s ground operations in southern Lebanon, Israeli forces have yet to secure “even a single village,” an apparent reference to reports of an abortive operation in the the town of Khiam last week. “As long as you are not able to control areas in the field, you will not achieve your political goals,” Afif said.Despite Afif’s claims, Israeli forces have reportedly captured multiple villages close to the border during the ongoing ground offensive.Read Israel confirms killing senior Hezbollah UAV commanderAfif disputed Israeli claims that Hezbollah’s missile arsenal had been substantially depleted, noting that the group continues to launch numerous projectiles daily, targeting areas deep within Israel.On Monday, the terror group launched roughly fifty rockets at the northern Israeli city of Karmiel.
