Initial reports of mortars or ATGMs being fired from Lebanon towards Metulla settlement in Israel.

Believe it or not, the Israeli army is still afraid.

While attacking Gaza from the air and sea is easy with zero consequences, the Israeli army is afraid from even using such attacks against Hamas and PIJ targets in Lebanon.

Whatever they attacked in Lebanon, was empty targets and unmanned towers, excluding the first day and it's unclear if they knew the site was manned.

With mortars, infiltrations, and recently rockets fired from Lebanon by Palestinian groups, the army's hands are tied in fear. How long does that last, is the important question.

More reinforcements arrive to route 232 in Israel consisting of heavily armored APCs that will be utilised to move forces into Gaza.

All these Namer APCs have the Trophy System configured.

⋯ One of the threats that the Ford CSG is likely keeping in mind is the existence of Hezbullah's anti-ship missiles.

To my knowledge, Hezbollah has Iranian-made Noor (aka C-802) and Russian-made Yakhont anti-ship missiles, with ranges of 120km and 300km respectively.

Israel's South First responders page released footage of a Hamas' GoPro fighting a group of Israeli army soldiers.

In this footage, they enter a room (after throwing a grenade) full of injured female connoscripts. The connoscripts are hiding under a table covering their heads.

⋯ From the New York Times about these GoPro footages:

«The 10 gunmen from Gaza knew exactly how to find the Israeli intelligence hub—and how to get inside. After crossing into Israel, they headed east on five motorcycles [...] Ten miles later, they veered off the road into a stretch of woodland, dismounting outside an unmanned gate to a military base. [...]

«For a moment, the attackers appeared uncertain about where to go next. Then one of them pulled something from his pocket: a color-coded map of the complex. Reoriented, they found an unlocked door to a fortified building. Once inside, they entered a room filled with computers—the military intelligence hub. Under a bed in the room, they found two soldiers taking shelter. The gunmen shot both dead.

«This sequence was captured on a camera mounted on the head of a gunman who was later killed. The New York Times reviewed the footage.»
