⭕️ Officially, a Hezbullah statement very soon.

⭕️ 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.

🇮🇱/🇺🇸 US minister of Defense says we will defend Israel with all our means

Sec. Austin from Philippines said that if Israel is attacked:

"We will help defend israel. You saw us doing that in April. You can expect us doing that again."

— 🇮🇷 🇮🇷 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.

🇱🇧 No statement has been issued by the Lebanese army about yesterday's attack on the country's capital.

📹 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.

🥀 "We will complete this path, even if we are all killed, even if we are all martyred... even if our homes are destroyed over our heads, we will not abandon the option of Islamic resistance."

⭕️ Officially, a Hezbullah statement very soon.

✍ What comes after isn't like what was before.

What is after is more important than everything that happened in the past 10 months on this front.

What comes, will have indicators that will reveal many things, about Lebanon and about Israel.

About ability and about power. About failure and about success.

About the future of this cursed yet blessed geography.

🥀 Two additional civilians have been identified in Haret Hreik as a result of the Israeli attack.

The mother and her daughter
- Hanaa Bashir Al-Hakim
- Salwa Zuhair Al-Bitar

This raises the death toll to 5 civilians, 3 women and 2 children.

🇮🇱/🇱🇧 IDF CoS at a war simulation says Hezbullah will not stay the same as pre-October

Today (Wednesday), the Chief of the General Staff, LTG Herzi Halevi, visited the brigade-level exercise of the Kfir Brigade on the northern border, with the Commanding Officer of the Northern Command, MG Ori Gordin, the Commanding Officer of the Central Command, MG Avi Bluth, and many more senior commanders.

The exercise took place in cooperation with different units, during which the soldiers of the Kfir Brigade practiced a variety of extreme scenarios, combat in thicketed and mountainous terrain, the activation of fire, and combat in a built-up area, as part of increasing the readiness for combat in the northern arena.

Some of the remarks he said:

- Yesterday afternoon, we had an opportunity to eliminate Muhsan.

- Muhsan is the most senior military figure in Hezbillah, and he is also a person very close to Nasrallah; he essentially arranges all military matters for him

- We have confidence in our planned moves going forward, because our intention with Hezbollah is not to return to October 6th.

- We will also not let the situation return to having [Hezbullah] present on the border, 200 meters from Metula, or from Shtula, or from Rosh HaNikra.

- The IDF knows how to operate and reach a certain window in a neighborhood in Beirut, it knows as well how to target a certain point underground, and we also know how to operate inside on the ground very strongly, and this week you are training for this, and this is a very important capability.

🇮🇱 The Israeli Prime Minister will make a statement to the media this evening, at 8.10 pm.

This was after a cabinet meeting was concluded earlier.

🇮🇱/🇱🇧/🇮🇷 The Israeli cabinet ended without any decision

Minister who was present at the discussion said that the feeling is that we are simply waiting to see what the other side will do and based on that to determine what Israel will do

Contrary to various briefings - assessment of senior Israeli ntelligence officials: the assassinations may freeze the contacts for a deal for a period of time between weeks and months

The assessment was presented to the political elite. Israelis thought the assassinations will force Hamas to rush to any deal directly.

🇮🇱 Netanyahu tonight in a speech to the bloodthirsty Jewish public:

- In the last few days we have dealt crushing blows to all our enemies

- We will not be silent about the suffering of the residents of the north

- Israel will exact a very heavy price for any aggression against us for any reason

- If we had given in to the demands to end the war, we would not have taken over Philadelphia, eliminated senior Hamas officials, and gotten closer to the outline of a deal.

And bla bla bla bla
