The battle of Odaisseh is an ongoing battle that began on 1 October 2024 with the 2024 Israeli invasion of Lebanon, as part of the 2024 Israel–Hezbollah war.
Background
On 1 October 2024, Israel began an invasion of Lebanon as part of the 2024 Israel–Hezbollah war and the Israel–Hezbollah conflict, results of the spillover of the Israel–Hamas war. It began after Hezbollah faced a series of setbacks in September 2024 that degraded its capabilities and eliminated most of its leadership; beginning with the pager explosions, followed by an Israeli aerial bombing campaign targeting Hezbollah throughout Lebanon, killing over 800 and injuring at least 5,000 in a week, and culminating in the 27 September assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.
Battle
1 October
On 1 October, Hezbollah claimed that it had targeted IDF soldiers in towns opposite of Odaisseh.
2 October
On 2 October, Hezbollah stated that Israeli forces were ambushed by Hezbollah fighters in Odaisseh and forced to retreat while attempting to dismantle militant infrastructure. Six soldiers from the Egoz Unit were killed in the clash and several others were injured, including five critically. The IDF said that another 20 Hezbollah militants were killed during the clash.
Later on the same day, an ambush by Hezbollah killed two Israeli soldiers and wounded 18. According to analysts, the battle was a victory for Hezbollah. The Lebanese army said that an Israeli force crossed the Blue Line in Odaisseh and claimed they retreated after an incursion of about 400 meters.
3 October
On 3 October, Hezbollah said that it targeted Israeli soldiers in al-Thaghra on the outskirts of Odaisseh.
