🗓 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.

⋯ Hezbullah mourned 50-52 martyrs on the first day.

📹 Earlier today, the Israeli army released footage of their attack on Maroun Al-Ras, where they claim they spotted members of Hezbullah.

📑 Hezbullah mourned today two its fighters, on the path to Jerusalem and in defence of south Lebanon, likely in the border village of Maroun Al-Ras

🇸🇦 Saudi Foreign Ministry on Iran:

- We are following with great concern the news on the media regarding the helicopter carrying the Iranian President and the accompanying delegation.

- We pray to God Almighty to protect His Excellency and his companions and to surround them with his care and care.

-  We affirm that the Kingdom stands by the sisterly Islamic Republic of Iran in these difficult circumstances and its readiness to provide any assistance that the Iranian services need.

Former commander of the IDF's Gaza Division (2001-2003) and Operations Directorate (2003-2005), Israel Ziv:

“We should probably go for a comprehensive deal, not talk about a victory that is unfortunately a bad one, we would all like a victory but we don't have a plan on how to really bring it [...]. Probably whoever will rule Gaza is some kind of coalition. Unfortunately, Hamas will be a part of it.”
