📹 Lebanese police continue their new violent campaign of confiscating non-registered vehicles in Beirut.

Hundreds of motorcycles were seized, including many used by poor families and the lower working class.

For a couple of years until recently, the authority to register vehicles was closed. Prices have been hiked since then.

📰 According to various local media, no casualties in the attempted targeted assassination. It failed.

For some time now, the protocol followed is firing three missiles at the target.

In Tyre, all three hit the vehicle. In yesterday's, one missed completely.

☠️ The Israeli army finds the carcass of a new hostage

According to an army statement, a new hostage was located rotted alongside the three reported yesterday

They were located inside a tunnel in northern Gaza, not in Rafah as initially reported by Israeli media and despite the Israeli desecration of graves in the search.

They were located based on interrogation with POWs arrested during the military operation in Gaza.

🌷 Heroic footage from Gaza showing a very badly injured fighter engaging the Israeli army, before being killed. (His foot was amputeed and hanging by skin)

Then from under the rubble rises another to carry his gun and engage from under fire, to be martyred himself too.

They likely engaged a whole unit with armoured support, which got help from the drone.

📹 Hundreds protest in Beirut over the violent crackdown by the Lebanese police on unregistered vehicles

Beating, shooting, and physical threats were reported on many cases by the police.

Media reports that they are seizing vehicles from parking lots, garages, and even repair shops!

🗣️Benny Gantz in an ultimatum to Netanyahu:

"You must choose between victory and disaster. By June 8, an action plan for the continuation of the war must be presented, if not, we will withdraw from the government"


📝 Gantz is leading in polls for many months now, and his actions resonate with his political base but also with the actual need for the Israeli leadership to have a plan in this war.

📰 Tonight's speech by Gantz is very important because of his political support and strength in Israel

Such, weakens the government of Israel and it only ever grew weaker with this in the light of the statement given by the Israeli defence minister Gallant earlier this week who openly criticised Netanyahu's lack of goals and strategy in this war.

📑 Regarding Gantz's statement, the plan needed includes a path to:
- How to conduct the war in Gaza
- Returning Israelis in the north back home by September
- Normalizing with Saudi Arabia
- Drafting all Israelis in the army (he means the orthodox community)

🗣 Delulu Israeli Minister of Finance Smotrich calls on Netanyahu to establish a security zone inside south Lebanon:

“The war must end with Hezbollah's total military defeat. It must be presented with an ultimatum to stop firing and withdraw its forces… and if [Hezbollah] doesn't fully comply – the Israeli army must launch a defensive attack… deep in Lebanese territory, including a ground incursion and an Israeli military takeover of south Lebanon.”

📝 Not only did this fail the last time they did it some 40 years ago, weapon ranges have changed, so has Lebanon.

This comes just after he asked Netanyahu to fully and permanently occupy Gaza yesterday night

🗣️So far today, Hezbullah took credit for 4 attacks on the Israeli army

🔻Al-Rahib base with artillery
🔻 Ramtha base with rockets
🔻 Equipment in Ramia base
🔻 A military vehicle in Malkiah base

☠️ No reports of casualties in Israeli media in the last attack

🗓 11th anniversary of the Battle of Qusayr

Today, 19 ⁠May, marks Hezbullah's first offensive operation in what is known as the Battle of Qusayr, Syria, in 2013.

⋯ The operation started at dawn, after liberating the countryside.

It was carried to deny the terrorists a safe heaven near the Lebanese border, and halt the weapon flow from Lebanon to Syria.

The war was covered in Hezbullah's documentary “The secrets of the Second Liberation” (أسرار التحرير الثاني).

⋯ In a speech before the launch of the operation in 2013, Hezbullah's Secretary-General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah made remarks about Hezbullah's ethics in war.
