Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke today with Russian President Vladimir Putin about regional issues and the continued coordination between Israel and Russia in the face of security developments in the region (Lebanon, Syria).
As usual, expect an Israeli aggression on Syria in an area that is close to Russian presence. What a good ally Russia is to Syria.

This comes on the same day as the Iranian parliament speaker visited Russia and delivered a letter to Putin sent from Sayyed Khamenei.
IDF CoS Aviv Kochavi at a ceremony marking the 24th anniversary of the helicopter disaster: "For the past year, we have worked almost every week in the depths of enemy territory to destroy weapons that were targeting or planning to attack the State of Israel and its citizens."
The IDF will receive an additional 2.3 billion shekels, according to Finance Minister Yisrael Katz and Chief of Staff Lieutenant-General Aviv Kochavi, who met last week.

This is different than the extra 10 billion dollar package for the airforce.
US Central Command chief Gen. Frank McKenzie calls the proliferation of cheap drones across the region "most concerning tactical development" since the rise of the improvised explosive device during the Iraq War. It's a "new component of warfare," he says.
Lebanon recorded today 61new deaths and 2,063 new cases of Coronavirus.

Cases are stabilizing about 2,000/day. Knowing that tests done yesterday and the day before are lower than usual as it was Saturday/Sunday.
Locally only 6,220 tests were done on Sunday. So the 2,063 cases represent about 33% positivity rate.
On a daily basis, Israel threatens attacking the Lebanese state and most precisely civilian homes for alleged weapon storage. This is normalized by Jews and is normalized by the West.

And to be known, Hezbullah will never attack Israelis unless the IDF attack Lebanese civilians.

Hezbullah until today hasn't retaliated after the Israeli attacks that killed a Hezbullah. A male soldier to a male soldier. A civilian to a civilian.

Pay attention to Israel's threats against Leb civilians. 🔽
“If a [fighting] front breaks out in the north, the country of Lebanon will be the one to pay the heaviest of prices for the weapons that have been scattered in civilian population centers,” warns War Minister Gantz.

"Nasrallah knows very well that his decision to build ammunition and missile caches endangers him and the Lebanese citizens. The Lebanese government should know this and bear the responsibility. If a front opens in the north, the highest price is on civilian gatherings."
