— 🇮🇱/🇮🇶 NEW: The Islamic Resistance in Iraq announces that they targeted an Israeli military base in the north of Jordan Valley with drones.

Explosions were reported in Slovyansk, Donetsk Oblast.

Russian forces have likely captured most, if not all of Hostre and captured the Selydove penal colony.

Following the series of mechanised attacks from western Krasnohorivka, Russian infantry likely continued to advance in Hostre, capturing the main portion of the settlement. Ukrainian forces may still maintain positions in the westernmost houses, but if that's true then it means that the Russians bypassed them and advanced to the Selydove penal colony.

Clashes reportedly broke out between Ukrainian forces defending the area, but as the Russians were advancing downhill and had a numerical advantage, Ukrainian forces were likely forced to retreat to the west.

If the Russians advance any further west, it will allow them to gain fire control over the O0510 road which resupplies the Ukrainian formations in central and western Maksymilyanivka. Once Ukraine withdraws from this town, the frontline will probably fall back in the direction of Kurakhove.

— 🇮🇱/🇮🇶 Today, in the early morning hours, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq targeted northern Israel with 'Arqab' cruise missiles

The Islamic Resistance says they will be increasing their attacks against the Zionist entity, as a support front of Gaza.

Today marked the largest volume of Iraqi strikes against Israel in a single day, since the time of Saddam Hussein.

Airstrikes are being conducted as deep as 31km into Lebanon.

An Israeli airstrike has targeted the town of Habbouch for the first time since the beginning of the war. It is nearly 40km from the border with Lebanon.

Geolocated footage and reliable reports indicate that Russian forces have made significant progress in and around the key Ukrainian fortress town of Vuhledar.

Firstly, a Russian motorised rifle unit advanced from positions west of Pavliivka, crossing the Kashalach river and seizing positions in a series of treelines southeast of Novoukrainka. This advance creates a second pincer around Vuhledar, and will allow the Russians to advance to the last supply route that leads to the town.

Secondly, Russian forces likely advanced from positions east of the O0532 road and captured the eastern residential area of Vuhledar. This puts them right outside the main part of the town and will allow for direct assaults into the high-rise buildings.

Russian forces also likely captured the Terykon (industrial waste heap) adjacent to the Pivdennodonbaska No. 1 coal mine. This gives the Russians fire control over the northwestern approaches to Vuhledar.

There are also reports that Ukrainian forces have begun withdrawing from Vuhledar across the fields in small groups.

All of these developments indicate that the fall of the town is imminent.

A Russian missile was launched at Kharkiv Oblast.

Hezbollah launched a barrage of rockets at Safed, Northern Israel.

It disappeared from the radar.

Strong explosions are reported in the Safed area.

Interceptions over Safed

So far an estimated 300 Israeli airstrikes have been carried out on Southern Lebanon.

Russian forces have likely advanced north of Hostre and captured two 2km long treelines.

This advance - if true - would put them just ~1km from the eastern outskirts of Oleksandropil'. Additionally, as the Russians are advancing downhill, it simplifies their offensive operations.

— ❗️🇱🇧/🇮🇱 NEW: Death toll is now at least 100, with 400+ wounded, many critically

@Middle_East_Spectator

This is major. I believe that this is the highest death toll from Israeli airstrikes on Lebanon since the beginning of the war.

To those who haven't realized it yet, we've clearly entered the beginning stages of the Third Lebanon War.

At this point, Hezbollah is hoping for Israel to invade Lebanon; it's the only way Hezbollah will have a clear advantage.

Meanwhile airstrikes continue to be carried out on targets throughout southern Lebanon. Mass evacuations are currently taking place.

I genuinely believe that Israel might invade in the next couple of weeks.
