📹 On the other hand, locals in Majdal Shams demanded the immediate retreat of many Israeli ministers, including Smotrich.

They asked them to leave in Hebrew, then told another Druze who told them to calm down, that Smotrich didn't respect these mourning hours, implying he's here for politics.

🇱🇧/🇮🇱 Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is currently landing at Ben Gurion Airport, on his return from Washington.

Straight from the airport he will travel with his entourage to the Kriya (IDF HQ) to continue the discussions, at 16:00 the cabinet meeting will convene.

There and then, he will convey the retaliation plans in the wake of the discussions.

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi is currently holding an assessment and approving plans for Lebanon, the military says.

The meeting is attended by the deputy chief of staff and the chiefs of the Northern Command, Military Intelligence Directorate, Operations Directorate, Air Force, and other generals.

Defense Minister Yoav Gallant says Hezbollah will face the consequences of its deadly attack on Majdal Shams yesterday "even with its ridiculous denials."

📹 Lebanon: The spiritual authority of the Druze monotheist sect, Sheikh Abu Youssef Amin Al-Sayegh, issued a video message in the wake of the tragic incident in Majdal Shams.

He calls on the Druze to be alert to attempts to “plant sedition” and “separate them from their surroundings,” and to “not allow those with temptations (the Jews ) to exploit this wound.”

📸 The person in this video who's trying to incite a regional war, in the wake of the Majdal Shams incident yesterday, is NOT from Majdal Shams and is NOT a Golani Druze.

He is an Israeli Druze from Daliyat al-Karmel who writes for a Karmel Druze news website. All over Israeli media he's portrayed as a local demanding war.

⭕️ In its first statement today, Hezbullah attacked and damaged a house in Al-Manara settlement as a response to the many Israeli aggressions yesterday night.

📸 Two Israeli airstrikes on Sheheen village. Smoke covered the whole village.

📹 A few moments earlier, rockets were fired from Lebanon towards Shtula.

📹 Two rockets were launched from Lebanon at the northern border community of Shtula a short while ago, the IDF says.

One of the rockets struck a home. There are no reports of injuries.

Hezbollah takes responsibility this attack, as response to the Israeli aggression on Lebanese villages.

📄 A member in Hezbullah's military media say that their denial about the involvement in the incident in Majdal Shams is clear.

And that any attack by Israel that breaks the rules of engagement will be treated on par by breaking the rules of engagement by the party.

📸 Gaza: A photo from today in Khan Younis for all the hypocrite Jews and their allies, east and West.

A photo of children from today, one of many from now and the past 9 months. Your blood is not more worthy than Gaza's children.

Yesterday's casualties' identity was unfortunate, so would have been the death of any child, even if Israeli.

Who were silent for Lebanese and Palestinian children. For that, we shouldn't reason, but only be powerful against the enemy.

🇱🇧/🇮🇱 The IDF formulated a number of possible scenarios for the attack, which it is now placing on the table of the political echelon in the situation assessment discussions.

Among the scenarios - there are more and less stringent courses of action.

Israeli officials clarify: we have no intention of going to an all-out war. We want to hurt Hezbullah, but without being dragged into a wide regional war.

The security officials emphasize in their assessments of the situation with the political echelon: we are ready to implement all the plans in the immediate time frame and without delay, the ability - immediately.

🇱🇧 Expecting escalation today, MEA airlines delays tonight's trips back to Lebanon until tomorrow morning.

✈️ The delayed trips to whom it may concern.

🇮🇱/🇱🇧 Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is currently holding an assessment with military and defense officials, his office says.

Mossad chief is oddly not present, however even more oddly the Shin Bet chief is.

🇱🇧/🇮🇱 Israeli media's possible reaction scenarios:

- A meaningful response, contained by Hezbullah and avoiding an all-out war

- Strong reaction: an exchange of fire that
will last several days.

- All-out war: an expanded strike on Hezbollah's targets and a ground entry deep into Lebanon
