In response to the continued Israeli massacres, Saraya Al-Quds (PIJ) fired 130 rocket towards Ashkelon and Ashdod.

IDF says the alert in northern Israel was due to an Iron Dome launch.

No proof of projectile fired from Lebanon to Israel. Likely another false alarm, making it the second false interception today.

🚨 New red alert for rocket fire from Lebanon towards Israel.

Al-Mayadeen reports that about 3 rockets/mortars were fired from Lebanon towards Metulla.

Israeli media reports no injuries.

Israel's Dahyeh doctrine now in Gaza: when using TERROR is kosher

In 2008, General Eizenkot outlined what he called the “Dahyeh doctrine” as an extreme degree of “deterrence by punishment”. He warned that IDF's large-scale destruction of civilian-only assets and terror inflicted in 2006 to one million residents in Beirut's Dahyeh suburb shall be renewed.

“We will apply disproportionate force [on the south of Lebanon]”, Eizenkot said, “These are not civilian villages.”

Ronen Bergman mentions the “historical continuity” of this doctrine that is de facto Jewish terrorism.

Update: Al-Manar reports that NO rockets or mortars were fired from Lebanon.

All 3 explosions hearde are from Israeli army air defence interceptors that exploded in the air.

Hamas Military Spox Abu Obaida:

"We started this battle for Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa since the 'Swords for Jerusalem' and expanded it to free the prisoners."

He added that "We have increased our coordination with the Axis of Resistance to everything that concerns the future of our cause.

"This battle resumes and on all fronts. We are ready for defence [if the IDF invades Gaza]."

⋯ Hamas Military Spox Abu Obaida:

"Despite previous battles between the resistance and Israel in 2021-2023, we intentionally avoided participation to buy time and be ready to what we accomplished today."

He adds: "To our brothers in Israeli prisons rest assured, we have enough cards to free you."

"I call on all in the West Bank, Jerusalem, and the interior to join the battle and confront Israel."

The UK will send two Navy vessels to the eastern Mediterranean in a show of support for Israel.

🚨 Netanyahu gives an important speech:

"We stand in this war together with mutual agreements and common consensus.

"This is a war on the Jewish establishment (House/home) and it can only end with the liquidation of Hamas."

"I ask President Biden to give us weapons to arm the settlements."

"I will meet the US MoD tomorrow. The US gave us unlimited access to gear and weapons."

IDF publishes footage showing troops of the Navy's elite Shayetet 13 commando unit retaking the Sufa military post on the Gaza border from Palestinian fighters on Saturday.

The use of the Shayetet 13 in such an operation displays the dire situation that was on the ground that day. Shayetet's role was never intended for such operations.

Rocket attack in Be'er Sheva, southern Israel.

Israeli journalist Almong Boker reports that the town of Sderot in southern Israel will be evacuated as has the rest of the Gaza border communities in the envelope around the area.

In the surprise attack carried out by Hamas, lethal means made by Iran were used but were unknown to the Israeli security establishment.

Among other things, air-thermal fuel bombs were used, which after detonation cause a fire at an extremely high temperature.

The same bombs were dropped by drones at Merkavas tanks, destroying their sensors and blinding the tanks and Trophy system.
