West Bank: While the Israeli border police were searching a Palestinian's car for weapons, the Palestinian took the soldier's M-16 and escaped towards Hebron.

Syria: Israeli tanks entered the outskirts of the town of Al-Muallaqa, Quneitra and destroyed a Syrian observation point.

Israeli planes also threw leaflets threatening the Syrian army officers from cooperating with Hezbullah and Iran.

"The Zionists have always been a plague, even before establishing the fraudulent Zionist regime. Even then, Zionist capitalists were a plague for the whole world. Now they’re a plague especially for the world of Islam." - Ayatollah Ali Khamenei today.

🚨 Israeli Defense, Foreign and Energy Ministers in joint statement:

"Israel is ready to defend Karish gas reservoir if it needs to, Karish is 100% in Israeli territory and Lebanon should return to maritime border negotiations."

⋯ 🚨 The Israeli Minister of Defense: "Karish gas field is located in the Israeli territories, not in the area being negotiated for with Lebanon."

The unbiased Israeli-born U.S. mediator Amos Hochstein informed Lebanon in advance that his visit will only take place on the condition that Line 29 is not to be discussed.

⋯ Israel and the U.S. want to deny Lebanon line 29 and negotiate on line 23 which further gives Israel more of our waters and makes it share with Lebanon Qana gas field.

Keep this filth and its advocation outside Lebanon. It's not welcome!

Yesterday's failed drone attack on Erbil impacted the ground and damaged several civilian cars.

No US target was affected, and no Mossad agent was injured/killed.

Video showing the impact in the ground near the street. The UAV didn't impact a car, but its sharpnel damaged a couple.

Representative Gebran Bassil: "It is not enough for the Greek ship to stop south of Line 29 as long as it is above Karish, and it is not enough for Israel to say that it will extract gas from the undisputed side as long as the field is one."

The situation regrading the southern waters seems to be the first true escalation that could lead to an actual long military confrontation between Lebanon & Israel since 2006.

SG Nasrallah states that liberating the south, costed effort and blood. And our waters are as important twitter.com/resist4ever_/…

⋯ Sayed Hassan Nasrallah: "The immediate goal that must be worked on is to prevent the enemy from extracting gas from the Karish field."

🇱🇧 Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah speaking

🇱🇧 "The Lebanese people today have a big question which is how to act towards the naval ‘Israeli’ attack"

🇱🇧 "I say to the Lebanese that we are faced with a topic that must turn into a major Lebanese issue related to the maritime borders and the wealth in this region of oil and gas, which is the property of the Lebanese people, regardless of their sect."

🇱🇧 "We must set before us a goal to protect this wealth in addition to exploration, drilling and later extraction, and after extraction, this wealth must be invested."

🇱🇧 "This wealth is exposed to risks, most notably the attempts of the United States and the Zionist entity to strip large areas of Lebanon and the wealth it contains."

🇱🇧 "We have a huge treasure in the Lebanese regional waters which are owned by all the Lebanese people; this treasure in the sea is the only hope left to save Lebanon from its difficult economic and financial situations"
