📷 New Israeli airstrike in Aita al-Shaab, Blida, and Aitaroun.

📹 The Israeli army released footage of some of their attacks today in south Lebanon, claiming to target Hezbullah members.

Thankfully no casualties repeated yet.

They also took credit for the dozen or so airstrikes overnight and throughout today that destroyed many houses.

⚠️ Israeli airstrike is Jwaya, south Lebanon.

Last time it targted the head of Hezbullah's Nasr unit, killing him.

📷 Airstrike seems to have targted the outskirts of the village

✍️ As Israel is continuing to give conflicting signals of its intentions with Lebanon, there is many things going in the background that signal else-wise.

Some of the ongoing points are:
- They asked all hospitals in the north to get ready. Recently ICU patients have been transported to other hospital in the center.

If this signifies something, it is that Israel is credibly worried about an increase in hostilities with Lebanon but considers it'll be limited to the north only and not a widespread war that reaches the center and Tel Aviv. At least at first.

- Additionally, Israelis media is aggressively attacking the army and political echelon and highlighting their failures in the north. This is putting them under pressure to act because anything else would weaken them further in the eyes of the public.

- The Israeli army is rushing to end the general war in Gaza despite failing to achieve its two most important goals: Killing the leadership of Hamas and saving the hostages.

This is crazy. Yes they destroyed Gaza and brought unimaginable pain to it, but the war goals failed. Obviously Hamas cannot and will not declare victory, but neither can Israel.

The army is hoping to eventually save the hostages through a political deal, because it failed to find them all despite the tremendous efforts it has did. The political echelon is now responsible for this, they either make a deal or accept public anger.

In that while, the Israeli army understands that Hamas is no longer a sustainable threat like it was before 7-October and it can deal with it through less forces and more raids. But Hezbullah in the north is intact.

That's why they now prioritize moving forces there and training them to adapt to the Lebanese warfare, just in case the political echelon asks them to mount an offensive.

But here are some obstacles facing the Israeli war machine:
1- The reserves are exhausted and over worked in the past 9 months. Hezbullah didn't use its reserves yet.
2- Hezbullah is ready for war and won't be taken by surprise. It's already deployed in south Lebanon and evacuated many faculties. Leadership is on alert. The loss of the element of surprise weakens the results of the initial 24-72 wave of airstrikes that will attack the pre-set target bank.
3- How to justify this war? Hezbullah is ready to end the battle if Israel ends the war in Gaza. Why make a war with Hezbullah to achieve the ceasefire that is already offered. Unnecessary losses to go back to square one. Too much expected losses for a few objectives.
4- Israel wants a small fast war. There are no more small fast wars with thr axis of the resistance.
5- Israel is fighting in Gaza, Lebanon, West Bank, Syria and operating on Iran and elsewhere. How longer can it keep this.
And many other reasons.

Finally, Netanyahu why fight under Biden when you can fight under Trump. He killed for you Soleimani, he will be as your lap dog again in November. Netanyahu isn't in a rush.

Israel who had 20 casualties yesterday from an attack from Lebanon and responded in a shy way, has not yet decided to go to war.

✍️ About point 1 in the second section, this year about 800-900 soldier in the Israeli army have requested the end of their regular service.

This is a record number compared to the average of a 100/year in previous years.

📹 The Israeli army has announced that a soldier was killed and another seriously wounded by an IED in the West Bank.

This marks the second roadkill in a few days in such a method. The resistance there continues to learn, adapt, and set a price.

Israel's security services are growing very worried about the developments there, and the ever increasing Iranian and Hezbullah attempts to smuggle them weapons through Jordan.

🥀 Hezbullah mourns the martyrdom of Hamza Khodor Shour, born in 1991 from Tyre, who rose as a martyr on the path to Jerusalem and in defense of south Lebanon.

He was martyred in an airstrike in Aita al-Shaab.

⭕️ On 1 July Hezbullah took credit for 7 attacks, of which 5 were against houses in Israeli settlements.

The attacks were in retaliation to the destruction of civilian homes in south Lebanon, and the widespread damages. The attacks were in:

- Granot Hagalil
- Doviv
- KfarGila'adi
- Metulla
- Ramot Naftali

The other two attacks were directed towards Samaqa base and Ma'yan Baroukh. Artillery was used.

📷 A fire was caused from sharpnel of an Israeli Iron Dome missile that attempted to intercept a drone over the Lebanese airspace.

🥀 An Israeli ATGM was fired at the village of Zalouteyeh, killing one civilian.

🥀 The civilian murdered in an Israeli ATGM attack by its special forces on Zalouteyeh village is Mohieddine Abu Dalah.

⚠️ Rocket alerts in Qiryat Shmona

📷 Interceptions over the area as a result of s rocket attack from Lebanon

⭕️ Hezbullah announced they attacked Qiryat Shmona barracks with rockets in response to the Israeli attack that murdered a Lebanese civilian in Zalouteyeh village this afternoon.

According to the IDF, 10 rockets were intercepted while 5 impacted in the settlement.

📹 The Israeli army released footage of their attack on an individual in Yarine, claiming he is a Hezbullah member.

This looks like the strike that murdered the civilian in Zalouteyeh.

⚠️ An Israeli drone strike targets a car in Hula border village.

🇩🇪/🇱🇧 For the second time in five weeks the Deputy Head of German Intelligence met officials from Hezbullah and notably its Deputy SG Naem Qassem.

The meetings tackled the escalation with Israel and the efforts made to end the war in Gaza, which will effectively end the battle with Lebanon and bring calm.

Germans used to be mediators between Israel and Hezbullah for decades, before becoming more zealous Zionists than Jews.
