🔴 Israel announces to have killed a cell on the Lebanese border, stopping it before they launch an ATGM attack on Israel.

🌹 So far, Hezbullah has mourned 19 martyrs in the past two weeks on the Lebanese-Palestinian border.

🔴 The Israeli army issued a statement announcing the following:

- Hezbullah fired an air defence missile at an Israeli UAV but it was intercepted. The launch site was attacked by the army

- Israeli jets attacked Hezbullah infrastructure and observation points

- Three Israeli soldiers were injured today

Hezbullah's tactics in the past few days were successful and suffered no casualties during action, but evidently the Israeli army has adapted and now the cons and losses far outweigh the benefits.

How will Hezbullah adapt during this low intensity battle? Days will tell.

Unfortunately, Hezbullah's actions could stay limited because they don't want the Israeli army to shift focus from Gaza and focus fully on Lebanon.

The goal is to get the IDF distracted, to either not do a ground invasion in Gaza, or if it does, attack from the rear.

If the IDF shifts full focus and leaves Gaza to attack Lebanon, then that wouldn't be the optimal scenario.

🔴 Explosions heard in south Lebanon. Reason unknown.

He calls Hezbullah's martyr's victims, and compares them to Israeli soldiers, victims from the other side.
