❗️The Lebanese army reports that 3 soldiers were killed in an Israeli targeted attack on an army vehicle on the Ain Ebel-Hanin road in southern Lebanon

❗️ About 15 minutes ago and now again, red alerts in Haifa and the coast from Nahariya to Acre

🇺🇸 Signed: The U.S. embassy in Lebanon, the backer of Israel and the guarantor for the Lebanese army.

📸 Renewed alerts in Safad

❗️New alerts near the Tiberias.

According to Jewish media, one rocket launched from Lebanon at the Haifa area was shot down by air defenses, the IDF says.

Sirens had sounded in numerous communities amid the attack at around 3: 40 p.m. It was likely a ballistic missile.

Alerts activated in the Haifa area a short while later, at 4 pm, were false alarms.

🇮🇱l🇱🇧 About an hour ago several airstrikes targeted Aita al-Shaab village, where the Israeli army continues to destroy the village in an attempt to occupy it.

As for other areas, at least 15 airstrikes targeted Khiyam town and 4 others in Sohmor.

📹 From the attacks on Sohmor. Just yesterday, Israel killed the town's mayor in a targeted assassination.

📸 Additional attacks in Bablieh town and various areas in Tyre.

As for the attack in Qabrikha, there are at least 4 martyrs.

🇮🇱l🇱🇧 Israeli soldier now in south Lebanon:

“The villages close to the border, two to three kilometers in, are being almost entirely destroyed. A lot of combat engineering forces are blowing up house after house, many heavy machines collapsing them into piles of rubble.. now the military are planning to man the border outposts again and create a 'kill zone' that no one will approach”

‼️ Senior IDF commanders, heads of brigades, were deported to the hellfire after a a successful attack on a Namer APC vehicle in Gaza, killing the commander of the 401th armored brigade and injuring other senior commanders

He is a Druze, one of many in the senior ranks of the IDF.

This is the highest rank to be killed in Gaza. At least another tank was fully destroyed, after Hamas detonated an Israeli unexploded bomb under it.

⚰ The Israeli army announces the elimination of  Colonel Ehsan Daqa, aged 41, from Daliyat al-Karmel, the Commander of the 401st "Iron Tracks" Brigade, 162nd Division.

In the attack that killed him, an officer from the 52nd Battalion, 401st "Iron Tracks" Brigade, was severely injured. 

They were in Jabalia camp, overseeing the mass murder of its locals, and preparing to fully depopulate and erase northern Gaza.

Daqa, the Aran Druze, only took his position 3 months ago.

Note that the video is from 2 days ago.

⚰ Col. Daqa that was smoked today, participated in the Israeli war on Lebanon in 2006

He was decorated with a citation from the head of the Northern Command for his involvement in the Battle of Aita al-Shab in 2006.

Just a beautiful cooperation between Lebanon and Palestine, each eliminating the others killer.

To the day, a better day than this war, when Israel kneels in shame and agony inshallah.

Very briefly talking about this, it highlights many important factors

1- The IDF wants to establish a security zone in south Lebanon, 2-5 km only and only for the protection against ATGMs and infiltrations

2- They plan to erase the border villages, with everything in them, like they did in Gaza. Complete war crime-tier demolition

3- They still have not decided yet on how to continue this war.

Stop at these border villages? Reach to the rear and attack from the ground Taybeh, Naqoura, Bint Jbeil, etc etc those big towns and cities

4- Yes the IDF has largely operated in all these border towns, and yes they are destroying many of them more than they did in 2006. But why?

Back then the IDF worked in those villages for a few days and weeks before moving to the next village, they didn't dedicate as much resources and time as they are doing.

More soldiers, in a more secure way, in a very small limited geography with a much better airforce than in 2006.

The war today is different, both how and objectives

(sorry for several posts. Non-premium has a character limit)

- So it's remarkable enough Hezbullah is still fighting at the border, considering all the circumstances

These are villages, sparse houses, limited food and water resources, and under massive Israeli bombardment and attacks

Don't trust the IDF when it says Hezbullah is collapsing, the group that is collapsing would have retreated from the border villages

Today we are on the 20th day of the ground invasion, almost over passing the days of the ground invasion in 2006. Yet we are still fighting on the border

The lack of push deeep into Lebanon, saved the IDF many casualties, because it didn't expose it yet to dangers. Back in 2006 the majority of IDF casualties were from ATGMs.

Today, the IDF is working from an advantage of its geography and border bases towards the border Lebanese towns after severe blows to Hezbullah

I might not have any sources on the ground, but I'm confident despite all the loved ones lost, and the blood lost, we'll win

So despite our losses, and the destruction we faced in this most brutal war in our history, there is a bright light at the end. I hope so

But it's important to understand, this isn't a 2006 war. The IDF of today isn't the IDF of 2006.

Also Lebanon isn't that of 2006, thats why we achieved what was done so far, but people will clearly ask, look at us now...how did our leaders claims we will liberate Palestine yet we are here hoping to even end the war in one piece.

While some media was foolish in over exaggerating, Hezbullah's SG Sayyed Nasrallah was always clear: "There is no single button to press and defeat Israel. It'll be a commutative effort and continuous blows and events that will lead to this"

This war started in the worst possible way for Hezbullah, and they lost both the element of surprise, the leadership, the manpower, and a sizable portion of their weapons.

Yet they won't collapse. They won't lose. The tide will turn no matter how confident and willing to sacrifice the IDF is.

Finally, I should stop daydreaming about going back to the past to meet x and y and tell them about the future, to change some events.

It won't work mate, walla. Never does.

🇱🇧l🇮🇱 The IDF confirms that the air force attacked earlier today, three Lebanese army soldiers.

The soldiers were traveling in a truck, which is the Israeli army falsely claims is not marked with military markings of the Lebanese army, on a road towards an area where IDF operates in southern Lebanon.

After the identification - it was decided to attack the truck, however the IDF is clarifying that "In accordance with the directives of the political level - the Lebanese army and the Lebanese state are not a goal for us."

✍ This unarmored truck is only used by the Lebanese army in Lebanon, and it has Lebanese army plates and all normal and expected details.

This is a BS excuse and no apology was even given. Pathetic.

❗️The Israeli army is currently (tonight) demolishing parts of Aita al-Shaab village.

Notably they carried 2 dozen airstrikes in the village in the past 24 hours, with heavy artillery attacks.

This video is from earlier today, unclear where to me, but near Rameen brigade area.

📹 Large scale demolitions also took place in Odaiseh village, in the area that oversees Israeli territory.

The IDF did not operate on foot in the whole village, but was able to reach at least the sector near the border area, destroying it.

Several airstrikes also took place in Odaiseh today.

📹 And notably today, there was a series of violent airstrikes on the town of Shebaa and its valley.

This area is the Lebanese part which isn't under the Israeli occupation (from decades ago)
