🇱🇧/🇮🇱 In an alarming change of tone and statement, Israel abandons the path of possible diplomacy to the end of the battle in Lebanon.

Israeli Defense Minister Galant met with US President's envoy Amos Hochstein and announced:

"The only way left to return the residents of the north to their homes is military action"

This coincides with yesterday's news that Netanyahu is planning to approve a battle plan inside Lebanon and the will to carry a ground invasion.

🇮🇱/🇱🇧 Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid at the end of a meeting with US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan at the White House:

"We are approaching a fierce war with Hezbullah that threatens large parts of Israel.
Anyone who is able to prevent this should invest every effort in doing so."

🇱🇧/🇮🇱 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met today with US President's Special Envoy Amos Hochstein at the Kirya in Tel Aviv.

In a statement, his office claims that Netanyahu made it clear in a firm and decisive manner in his conversation with Envoy Hochstein that it will not be possible to return our residents without a fundamental change in the security situation in the north.

The Prime Minister also said that Israel appreciates and respects American support, but in the end it will do what is necessary to maintain its security and return the residents of the north to their homes safely.

📸 An Israeli airstrike targets the village of Taybeh

📹 Several interceptions after sirens in Ramot Naftali

📸 Yemen's Ansarullah has released footage launching the 'Palestine-2' hypersonic missile at Israel

The missile looks and sounds like the domestic Yemeni variant of Iran's Kheybar Shekan-2.

✍ Yemenis should give more credit to the Lebanese and Iranians, and not stick to homegrown rhetoric to everything that isn't.

🇱🇧 Unprecedented!

More than 70 Hezbullah members injured all around Lebanon on the self detonation of pagers they were using.

📷 The pagers used by Hezbullah detonated the same time everywhere.

Hezbullah fighters started to fall to the ground everywhere, and blood covering them. Injures vary from low to critical.

Injuries are in the hundreds, if not more.

📹 In the attack, a message was received on the pager, and as then detonated shortly.

Pagers are usually read, after an encrypted message is received, which caused the severe injuries near the face and hand.

Blood is needed in all hospitals in Beirut, and south Lebanon. A lot of CCTV footage is circulating of the event. A massacre!

What a better pre-emptive attack than litterly taking out hundreds out of service in one day. Regardless, today's events are an opportunity, that uncovered an exploit either technical limitation in these devices that overcharge them or spyware.
