In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
{Permission [to fight] has been given to those who are being fought, because they were wronged. And indeed, Allah is competent to grant them victory.}
Allah, the Most High, the Most Great, has spoken the truth.
Due to the significant negative impact caused by the footage broadcast by the Islamic Resistance of its operations against the Israeli enemy forces on the consciousness of settlers within the occupation entity, the enemy army has strived to obtain an image it could promote as a sweeping victory, hoping to calm the fears of the northern settlers. The target was the historic Shaqif Castle in southern Lebanon, located about 4 km from the Lebanese-Palestinian border.
For more than five days, the Israeli enemy launched a series of violent airstrikes and heavy artillery bombardment on the town of Yohmor al-Shaqif and the surrounding villages, aiming to seize and occupy Shaqif Castle. As soon as it advanced towards the southern outskirts of the town, it faced heroic and fierce resistance and heavy fire from the Islamic Resistance fighters, preventing it from achieving its goal. The enemy was forced to resort to the eastern outskirts of the town, which are characterized by rugged terrain. At sunset on Saturday, 30/05/2026, an Israeli infantry group infiltrated under heavy smoke cover from the eastern side of Shaqif Castle, where the paths are not visible, reached the castle, and took a series of photographs. The enemy quickly distributed these photos on Sunday morning, promoting the claim that it had occupied the castle, knowing that the castle was devoid of any military presence of the Resistance.
Since dawn yesterday and until the time of issuing this statement, the enemy has faced great difficulty in securing its forces around the castle, with these forces present near the rest area below the castle. The Islamic Resistance is waging a battle of attrition against the Israeli enemy forces present in the area, and the upcoming footage will prove this.
{And victory is not but from Allah, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.}
