🇮🇱/🇱🇧 Media: A suspected drone heading toward Israel from Lebanon was shot down by air defenses earlier this morning.

According to the IDF, the target did not enter Israeli airspace in the incident, and no sirens sounded.

Separately, sirens that sounded in the northern community of She'ar Yashuv this morning were determined to have been false alarms.

Have to get back to sleep, barely slept 3 hours before I got woken up.

So technically BRB.

Regarding the situation in Lebanon, if there is any announcement of that magnitude, it'll be announced first on TV before the official telegram group.

Goodnight (at 8 am yikes)

🇮🇱 The Jewish army says there are still no changes to guidelines for Israeli civilians, following last night's airstrike in Beirut and this morning's assassination of Hamas's leader in Tehran.
"At this hour, the IDF is conducting a situation assessment, if any change is decided upon, we will update the public immediately,"


The IDF calls on civilians to continue to follow the existing Home Front Command guidelines.

They did this back in April, only changed it when they knew the attack was imminent due to intelligence.

⭕️ Officially, a Hezbullah statement very soon.
🔥115🫡35👀16👎10👍6
⭕️ An initial statement issued by Hezbullah’s media relations:

As it has become known, the Zionist enemy attacked the southern suburb of Beirut yesterday, Tuesday, 07/30/2024, targeting a residential building in one of its neighborhoods, which led to the death of a number of citizens, the wounding of others, and major destruction to a number of floors of the building.

The great jihadist leader, SayyedFouad Shukr (Hajj Mohsen), was present in this building at the time. ‏

Since the incident occurred, civil defense teams have been working diligently, but slowly, to remove the rubble due to the state of the destroyed layers, and we are still waiting for the results, and the fate of the great and dear leader and other citizens in this place...

... and based on that, we can built upon what comes next.

🇮🇷 🇮🇷 Statement no. 2 of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps:

'This crime will face a harsh and painful response from the resistance front, especially Islamic Republic of Iran.

Martyr Ismael Haniyeh was among the prominent personalities of about 110 foreign delegations invited by the Assembly of the Islamic Council to participate in the Inauguration Ceremony of the 14th President of the Islamic Republic of Iran, which in recent years, especially after the historical operation of 'Al-Aqsa Storm', made numerous trips to our country.

Undoubtedly, this crime of the Zionist regime will face a harsh and painful response from the powerful and huge resistance front, especially Iran, and the blessings of 'Quds Martyr' Dr. Ismail Haniyeh's efforts in defending the cause and rights of the Palestinian nation will help them.'

🇮🇱/🇱🇧 Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant tells troops at an Arrow long-range missile defense system battery that "We don't want war, but we are preparing for all possibilities."

The visit comes after israel's cowardly aggression on Beirut and Tehran, which likely killed the most two senior figures in both organizatios.

The Israeli army expects a long range Hezbullah missile attack.

📹 Due to the very tight location, the recovery operations in Beirut are very slow, with time ticking and almost reaching 24 hours since attack.

📸From the scene of the Israeli attack that targeted a senior Hezbollah commander in Beirut yesterday, and killed at least 3 civilians.

Rescue operations are still underway as of now, and it is believed that people are still trapped under the rubble (injured or dead).

There has been no social media posts about missing people, raising concerns that the remaining missing people are from Hezbullah.

📄A thread about Hezbullah's initial statement and the nature of the aggression:

- According to initial information, the aggression was carried out with 3 missiles initially (most likely Gbu-39).

- One hit the upper floor, the second targeted an adjacent building (there is a slight possibility that it was by mistake), and the third targeted the underground parking lot of the targeted building, and by the way, it did not explode.

This can be confirmed as only 2 explosions were seen on CCTV, but 3 impacts heard.

- This building is not new and was built decades ago. Some of its sections were even renovated at different times, some after July 2006 war.

It is adjacent to a building on the southern side and another building on the eastern side, and in its back there is an adjacent building to the hospital and a separation wall between them.

This makes the alleys narrow and hard to navigate.

- Hezbullah was certain that Sayyed Mohsin entered the building and the office located on one of the upper floors, just a period not exceeding between half an hour (and perhaps less) and an hour ago because he made a "secure call" in the course of his work.

This is why the statement concluded that he was present in the building then, but his fate is still unknown as of now.

- At the moment of targeting, as detailed above, due to the nature of the building, a number of columns collapsed, followed immediately by the collapse of a number of ceilings (some videos showed the scene).

- At 7:40 pm, sunset yesterday people rushed and the crowding became overwhelming, preventing the rescue teams from arriving.

They arrived and began their work, as night had fallen, which made the work even more difficult.

What made it more difficult was what I described as the building's surroundings and the narrow space in which the rescue teams were working with the capabilities available in such circumstances.
