Col. Barak Hiram, who lost his eye in the Second Lebanon War 14 years ago, has been appointed as the commander of the Golani Brigade in place of Col. Shai Kalper.

Lest he never forget 👁 https://t.co/0jOzDtVs2c
155 new COVID-19 cases were recorded, including 145 local ones.

In addition to that, only death was recorded. Only 5,865 cases were done. https://t.co/EymhoJRHg8
All such assessments are worthless.

Hezbullah said years ago that it doesn't accept the ICC and doesn't care about what it ends up concluding because it was politicized from day one.

So no, Hezbullah won't retaliate on that day, as if there is any correlation https://t.co/ATia0e8ew5
And lol at that fake assessment, Hariri was the prime minister not the president.
Several local news channels are reporting that Lebanon's minister of foreign affairs is planning to resign tomorrow. https://t.co/CHfZHWdcrG
Does anyone know where the IDF AF Hermes 450 that fell in Lebanon (2015) later go? It was initially captured by the Lebanese army.

Did they return it back to Israel, keep it, or give it to Hezbullah? I couldn't find anything online. https://t.co/mCkV64Nrwd
More photos. It fell in Tripoli port, north Lebanon. https://t.co/HmrtxpPOTJ
Protesters closed Al Ring bridge in Beirut just now in protest. https://t.co/S2QezLWWmL
IDF jets are now on standby in northern Palastine.
Israeli media claim 4 were killed in that area.

No extra details. https://t.co/eRVeUr5wbA
IDF confirmed the incident. No details on who the "terrorist"s are. https://t.co/BHM7LT6eQ3
Some pointers:

- No exchange of fire happened after that initial attack

- No info on the location of the bodies - IDF confirmed their deaths

- No footage of the alleged drone strike on the cell

- No Syrian MOD statement

- No IDF footage or photos
- Hezbullah doesn't operate without fire support, and in case the cell got killed a clash would have definitely happened; At least to recover the bodies

- If Hezbullah was planning an attack and a cell was engaged, supporting cells should have engaged the ambush forces
- Planting an IED at night is not something to be done at such high alert by any military standards, especially Hezbullah's, as it was it's preferred weapon behind enemy lines pre 2000 against the IDF.

- As long as IDF shows no footage, they are lying like they lied about M Dov.
- Even if what IDF engaged was not Hezbullah, there should be no reason to not show proof.

- In the last two retaliations Hezbullah used ATGMs to remove the risk of death to its operating units. There is no rational reason to do otherwise now with such IDF reinforcements
- In Avivim operation, Hezbullah had two ATGM cells at two different areas, several kms away. The mere narrative of one cell now and one cell last time is weak

- Even if it wasn't Hezbullah tonight, nothing can operate without the Syrian army seeing it. So why silent
- IDF can't ID this is Syrian or Lebanese. So when it shot to kill, it knew it's risking killing a Hezbullah.

If they took this risk now and confirmed kills, unlike Mount Dov when they didn't kill, why didn't PM Netanyahu and MOD Gantz rush to IDF HQ. Killing seems more serious!
