📷 Additional attacks with phosphor shells targeted the houses and streets of Mays Al-Jabal village.

📷 Three US cargo planes airdropped 66 pallets of food aid to southern Gaza.

The US, being the main supporter and military supplier to Israel, is air dropping aid into an area under war and siege by Israel.

What a pathetic embarrassing situation.

📑 The U.S. aid drop in Gaza contains 38,000 meals.

Do the 2,000,000 Palestinians in Gaza participate in the hunger games to win these meals!?

📷 The Israeli army fired smoke shells inside and around Kfarkila village, and attacked it with artillery and phosphor along with Hula and other villages.

📷 The Jewish army carried an attack on the hills of Al-Laboneh mountain.

This area is under daily airstrikes and sit on the Lebanese - Palestinian border.

📃 The IDF announced the death of three new soldiers in Gaza

☠️ Sgt. Dolev Malka, 19, of the Bislamach Brigade’s 450th Battalion.

☠️ Sgt. Afik Tery, 19, of the Bislamach Brigade’s 450th Battalion.

☠️ Sgt. Inon Yitzhak, 19, Bislamach Brigade’s 450th Battalion.

Some extra details:
🪦 This raises the toll of the carcasses in the ground invasion of Gaza to 245 soldiers.

📑 The three soldiers are all from the same unit, killed in the detonation of a building in Khan Younis. The attack injured 14 others, including 6 critically.

🐖 The three soldiers were part of the Bislamach Brigade — the IDF's School for Infantry Corps Professions and Squad Commanders.

📹 The Jewish army released footage of their aggression on Labonneh hills and Ramiah village in south Lebanon earlier tonight. No casualties.

📝 Some thoughts on the situation, hopefully I can write accurately what I was observing. اعوذ من كلمة أنا

The current battle today is what we can describe as Lt. Col Kochavi's long theorised for "Battle days", but with a new twist that became "Battle months". It is not a war, but it has everything that accurately describes one.

This situation turned into a unique version of that, that neither Hezbullah nor Israel planned for it in such a sense. A battle days were meant to last a few weeks, according to Israel. Something that mimicks the battles in Gaza in 2019,2020,2021 etc.

For Hezbullah, there was no intention to be dragged ever into such a limited conflict (the so-called battle days) that could lead to martyrs and destruction yet bare no fruits and only sabotage both calm and deterrence. For that, Hezbullah didn't adhere to that principle... didn't want to.

This was publicly said by the SG of Hezbullah, His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah (may God grant him power and long life) and echoed by the pro-resistance media which is close to Hezbullah sources.

This was likely due to some understanding that any attack on Lebanon by Israel would involve Beirut and a wide wave of airstrikes that would definitely trigger a war, judging by the reluctance of Israeli leadership for any limited attacks on Lebanon for 16 years. Yes the Israeli army did infiltrate Lebanon a few times and carry some sabotage operations, but those were like a "middle finger to Hezbullah" and a way of saying we are able.

Then, 7-October happened starting a war in an unprecedented matter and setting new tactics and methods that were unaccounted for. Honestly? when does a war or battle ever take place according to the books and theories. War was always of chaotic nature but which confined itself to stable patterns.

The incident and then war in Gaza is not the intended subject here now, it is Lebanon.

Both Hezbullah and Israel found themselves in a new type of battle that set a new definition of war and many precedents, remarkably still fought with some red lines and mutual deterrence.

Of that precedents, is the Israeli evacuation of 100,000+ settlers from the north.

Some of which as observed:
1- Israel refraining from attacking senior Hezbullah political leadership, include those visiting south Lebanon
2- Israel refraining from attacking Beirut, Beqaa, excluding exceptionally.
3- Israel refraining from using heavy missiles in targeted assassinations, attempting to minimise civilian casualties
4- Israel confining itself to a battlefield of few kms
5- Israel refraining from wide scale destruction in villages
6- Israel refraining itself from using it's full firepower
7- Israel refraining from attacking Hezbullah's strategic weapons and caches
8- Israel refraining from attacking Hezbullah's logistics in Syria and Lebanon

while Hezbullah, for both the intention to not widen the war and in hope to end this round of escalation, and for things its wise leadership understands better:

1- Refrained from large rocket barrages
2- Refrained from wide scale attacks on settlements

That all set aside, we have to look at some things from additional angles:

Point #1: While Hezbullah's casualty toll is not small, 5 months into this battle, the learning experience has been tremendous on what to expect in a wide scale war with Israel.

Being the organization it is, which learns and adapts, this will help a lot with time.

Point #2: Hezbullah never fought a war in Lebanon with its rear safe. In the war in Syria, Lebanon as a whole was safe. This allowed Hezbullah to operate for long with ease and adapt to many challenges and win a war that would have strained the logistics and manpower of first world countries.

With the rear being safe, that being Beqaa and Beirut, Hezbullah will be able to mimic that type of success and give it the ease of not working under stress. Yes, the security situation is very fragile and the Jewish army can assassinate some figures, but with good security procedures and caution, and with god's protection...it would be foiled.

However this is new, and how to operate is all new territory.

Had the war been in all Lebanon, Hezbullah would have been burdened with the wellbeing of 1.5 million Lebanese refugees. Today is a blessing.

These are two of some benefits, of which others I'll refrain from saying now.

Thall all said, today shows how correct Hezbullah's decision to fight in Syria was. Had the Syrian government collapsed, Hezbullah and the Lebanese Shia would have been in a worse situation that the massacre, starved, and made refuges..the Gazans. It would have been even harsher in Lebanon because of the internal enemies.

To end, this is a battle that Lebanese and Palestinians want to see an end for, this includes Hamas and Hezbullah.

But would a war happen, the situation would be different and Hezbullah's actions would be different.

As his Eminence said, we will work with no boundaries with no rules with no limits. In simple, a 100 rocket barrage will look pathetic in a day when you'd expect folds of a 1,000 rockets a day, a rate that would not decrease with time.

⚠️ The Israeli army carried two airstrikes with heavy rockets (JDAMs) against Abu Laban neighbourhood and the center of Aita Al-Shaab village.

These are the first air attacks of today.

🗞️ A new Israeli attack targets the old cemetery neighborhood in Kfarkila village with what is described as heavy rockets.

📑 Overall, the Damascus area was the primary target, with intensive attacks on the airport southeast of the city that took place in Oct/Nov last year.

📑 While in southern Syria near the Israeli border, Israeli-backed and directed cells are assassinating Syrian army officers who are facilitating the buildup of the resistance in that area.

Many of the officers whose name were mentioned on leaflets were killed by armed gunmen.
