"As someone who has helped plan coup d'état -- not here but, you know, other places -- it takes a lot of work."

--John Bolton on CNN just now.

US inflation surges to 9.1%, the highest in 40 years.

Media: An IDF officer was seriously hurt during "routine activities" in southern Israel earlier today, the military says.

Reality?

A snooker table fell on the soldier while moving it into the base.

الحرب أشرف

Brief of what Hezbullah's SG Sayed Hasan Nasrallah said tonight:

- We sent the 3 UAVs and intended to get them destroyed so the Greek ship and its engineers feel unsafe working there.

- We don't have time, these negotiations need to end before September. Else, it's lost.

⋯ Lebanon should unite and use Hezbullah's power as negotiating strength

- The US is buying time and trying to ensure Israel's rights and not Lebanon.

⋯ Oil and Gas are our only remaining economic lifeline, if we are denied them no one will sell oil and gas (as in Israel won't be allowed).

- Lebanon is collapsing, a war seems to be have a better outcome than letting Lebanon die slowly

⋯ Dying in a war will make you a martyr, better than dying when going out to buy bread or protect your things from getting stolen after Lebanon disintegrates socially.

- We are at the end of the line. Hezbullah has many options to work with.

⋯ The drones were only the start, more will come.

⋯ Permission ˹to fight back˺ is ˹hereby˺ granted to those being fought, for they have been wronged. And Allah is truly Most Capable of helping them ˹prevail˺.

أُذِنَ لِلَّذِينَ يُقَـٰتَلُونَ بِأَنَّهُمْ ظُلِمُوا۟ ۚ وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ نَصْرِهِمْ لَقَدِيرٌ ٣٩

Long bread queues in Akkar.

The explosions heard in south Lebanon are from IDF drills, no sonic booms by Israeli jets over Lebanon.

Israeli jets are up in the air facing Lebanon and the Golan Heights.

In light of Nasrallah's speech, Amos Hochstein who is accompanying President Biden to Israel, has met the Israeli Minister of Energy to advance a deal with Lebanon as soon as possible

Israeli reporters described the matter of utmost importance due to yesterday's rhetoric

A fire has been ongoing for several days at the damaged grain silos at the port of Beirut.

No firefighting effort is underway because of the unstable condition of the damaged silos.

Several were injured around Lebanon and notably in Wadi Kahled from celebratory shooting over the results of the 9th grade official exams.

🛑 NBC correspondent: White House press charter from Tel Aviv to Jeddah was first plane to travel directly from Israel to Saudi Arabia under the kingdom’s new rules announced Friday allowing commercial aircraft from Israel to fly over Saudi airspace.

A thread were I detailed daily Hezbullah and IDF casualties during the 2006 war on Lebanon.

For details about every IDF casualty, location, time, and even how: http://web.archive.org/web/20100429093939/http://www.waronline.org/IDF/Articles/2nd-lebanon-war-statistics/casualities.html

⋯ The importance of this thread is that it shows two things:

1- Failure of the IDF to effectively neutralize Hezbullah ground forces despite the massive fire power

2- IDF's poor performance on the battleground in the last two weeks.

⋯ In the first two weeks, the IDF mostly relied on night raids but later on it committed more ground forces.

Their casualties shot up as soon as they engaged Hezbullah in an infantry battle.

Highest casualties by day:

Hezbullah: 19
IDF: 24

Russian law has changed to include representatives of the Jewish Agency and other international Jewish organizations in its definition of "foreign agents."

“the Jewish Agency has been under investigation by Russian officials for the past three years, during which information and hardware from their offices were examined closely.”

This organization is literally called (The Jewish Agency For Israel). They don’t have dual loyalties, just a single loyalty to israel. They should all be forced to register as the foreign agents that they are.
