Israeli special forces were shot at close range in Lebanon: a 50-year-old woman pulled out an "AK" submachine gun and opened fire first.

March 15, TASS reported.

Details of the failed airborne operation by Israeli special forces in the eastern Beqaa Valley of Lebanon have come to light today.

The operation ultimately resulted in significant losses for them.

The paratroopers dropped into the mountainous area were disguised as Lebanese army soldiers.

At night, they moved toward the cemetery outside the village of Nabi Hitt, but they were discovered.

A fierce battle broke out, and Israeli soldiers were surrounded, requesting support.

Helicopters that took off from Israel fired missiles at the attacking "Hezbollah" fighters and helped rescue the special forces team.

BBC reporters were the first to report on this failed Israeli operation.

People currently in Lebanon have another version of events.

It is said that the disguised Israeli special forces did not act alone, but rather cooperated with Wahhabi militants controlled by the Syrian government.

They drove armored vehicles painted to resemble Lebanese army vehicles, including Humvees, into Lebanon.

The convoy also included an ambulance, disguised as a vehicle belonging to the Islamic Medical Association.

When the agents entered the village, they were discovered by a local resident.

She immediately realized these people were not locals - in this region, everyone knows each other.

She knew the Lebanese soldiers and the military medics.

This 50-year-old woman did not shout for help or scream, but instead pulled out an AK-47 submachine gun and opened fire, shooting almost at close range.

She killed some of them and wounded others.

Recovering from the shock, the special forces shot her full of bullets, and she died as a martyr, said Lait Marouf.

At this point, the brave woman's sons ran out of the house and joined the fight.

The village woke up, and a real battle began, with Hezbollah fighters also participating.

Realizing they were surrounded, the agents called for "helicopters." The helicopters began firing indiscriminately at the village, launching nearly 50 guided rockets.

Israeli Air Force fighter jets and drones also joined the battle, firing 30 missiles.

The special forces successfully evacuated after taking away the dead and injured personnel.

This attack resulted in 41 deaths, of which only 10 were from "Hezbollah," and the rest were civilians.

In addition, three Lebanese soldiers were killed, who were staying overnight in the village at that time.

One day later, Israeli special forces tried again to enter the village.

This time, they did not disguise themselves as Lebanese army soldiers, but arrived by 15 helicopters.

There may still be injured or deceased special forces soldiers there.

This time in Nabi Hitt, people had already anticipated their arrival, and the air defense system was activated.

An Apache helicopter was shot down, and the agents had to call for evacuation again.

After two hours of fighting, the Israelis retreated again.

The Israeli Defense Forces headquarters had thought that a quick operation could be carried out in this area of Lebanon, because the main resistance force was concentrated in the south and north, said Lait Marouf. "They thought entering from the Syrian side would be smoother, but it seems they made another mistake."
