🚨 Israel took hostage about 6 journalists and 3 Lebanese civilians near the border area at Al-Abad military site.

The Lebanese army is negotiating with the UN for their release.

📝 Observation: The Israeli army is not interested in a ground invasion in Gaza and is hoping they can find and kill Hamas's leadership in a few days or weeks and use that to declare victory and then keep the war ongoing on very low intensity until they negotiate a release of hostages.

They would release women and children first for many Palestinian prisoners, then take way longer to release the security prisoners for the remaining hostages

If they fail to do that, they will be forced into the ground invasion.

On the other hand, the Israeli army's non-air force related branches displayed weakness and fragility. Less than two weeks into a war they are only engaging with from air, and the US had to send ammo, rockets, vehicles, and air defence weapons. This won't bode well in a long intensity war on other fronts.

The UN rescued the 6 foreign journalists and 3 civilians back into Lebanon.

Unfortunately it seems there was one critically injured dead Lebanese. He was not identified yet.
