Gotta love those IRIB headlines. Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting is not the most reliable of sources, obviously, but this does reflect the intensity of the current fighting, no doubt:
Lebanese Islamic Resistance Movement Hezbollah on Wednesday engaged in bloody clashes with the Zionist regime's forces and repelled their military attempts around the Lebanese border village of Bint Jbeil.
A Hezbollah statement said heavy exchanges are ongoing between the heroic Mujahedeen of the Islamic Resistance and the Israeli enemy forces which are trying to advance from Tallet Masoud on the southwestern outskirts of Bint Jbeil.
"There are also heavy exchanges around Aitarun, Marun al-Ras and Bint Jbeil," to the southeast of the town, it said.
Hezbollah Secretary General Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah rejected the regime's claims that it had taken control of Bint Jbeil.
"They do not control Bint Jbeil. All the city of Bint Jbeil is still in the hands of the resistance," he said.
Zionist regime forces conceded to the reports, adding its forces are trying to rescue Zionist soldiers entangled in Bint Jbeil village.
Meanwhile, special forces of Hezbollah Wednesday arrested forty spies of the Zionist regime around Beirut. The arrest took place after Hezbollah announced that the Netaniya port will be the next target of the movement's resistance missiles.
Netaniya port city needs missiles with double range of the missiles hitting Haifa.
The announcement brought a heavy state of alert to Tel Aviv few miles away from Netaniya.
According to reports released from Zionist regime army's censor office, 13 Zionists soldiers have been killed during Wednesday clashes.

Ha'aretz on the fighting in Bint Jbeil:
Some 30 Israel Defense Forces soldiers were wounded Wednesday in fierce gun battles with Hezbollah in the southern Lebanese town of Bint Jbail.
The IDF later successfully retrieved its wounded, even as the heavy clashes continued.
The troops became involved in close-quarter fighting with Hezbollah guerillas in the early hours of Wednesday, despite taking control of the town a day earlier. The fighting has been going on since . . .
On Tuesday, IDF infantry and armored corps soldiers surrounded the Hezbollah stronghold, but decided against seizing the entire town.
Military officials said Golani Brigade infantry troops initially surrounded the village Tuesday, imposed a closure and took some houses on the outskirts.
Eight IDF soldiers were lightly wounded in fighting in the area early Tuesday and seven of them were evacuated to hospitals in Israel. Fifteen soldiers remain hospitalized in Nahariya from earlier battles with Hezbollah.
