The Israel military misremembered this time, believing that by disrupting Allah's military command system through pager bombs and assassinating Nasrallah with airstrikes, they could easily take the leaderless Allah-controlled region of southern Lebanon. However, the first day of the Israeli ground invasion of Lebanon suffered a major loss. The first to enter Lebanon was a reconnaissance assault unit of the "Nuts" special forces, which was quickly ambushed by Allah forces on the roadside, opened fire at close range with rocket launchers and machine guns, and then retreated after the Israeli reconnaissance commando team dropped 14 bodies.
On 2 October, while the Israel air force and air defense forces were fully engaged in intercepting Iran missiles, Israeli ground forces launched an offensive against Allah militant positions in southern Lebanon. On that day, Lebanon Allah claimed to have repelled at least 25 Israeli ground attacks and inflicted heavy casualties on Israeli forces. On 3 October, Lebanon's Allah party told Al-Mayadeen and Al Jazeera that Israel troops entering Lebanon yesterday had either been killed, wounded or fled, estimating that Israeli forces had lost five tanks and suffered 80 casualties.
This data basically matches that of the Israel military. The casualties of the two major ambushes reported by the Israeli army itself were 65, plus the results of several other battles and cross-border strikes by Lebanese drones, the Israeli army suffered more than 80 casualties in the first battle, which should be a relatively conservative number. The Israeli military admitted that one officer was killed in a ground operation that day. In the first battle, the Israel army suffered a big loss, and it was not only Allah's armed elusive rockets and drones that terrified them, but also the cold-blooded and ruthless "Radwan" special forces.
The reconnaissance commando unit of Israel's "nuts" special forces, which entered southern Lebanon on the first day to conduct reconnaissance, was killed by Allah's "Radwan" special forces. Moreover, the "Radwan" special forces had penetrated deep into Israel's northern border a few days ago and attacked small units of the Israel Army that had been massed in the border forest belt. They are ruthless and barely survive. The Israel military received information that after Nasrallah was killed by Israeli forces, the Allah "Radwan" special forces threatened to retaliate against the Israel army with blood for blood.
Israel's Channel 13 revealed: The Israel Army instructed all Israel Defense Forces units operating in South Lebanon to "make every effort to avoid being captured by Lebanon's Allah 'Radwan' special forces." It is clear that the Israeli army's fear of the Allah "Radwan" special forces is the same as the fear of Ukrainian soldiers of Russia's "Wagner" sledgehammer soldiers.
