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.

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

🇺🇸 After Israel destroyed Lebanon, US tells them this is your last chance for a solution

U.S. envoy Amos, who happened to be an Ex-IDF soldier, will visit Lebanon this week to discuss a Biden's attempt to establish a ceasefire in Lebanon before the elections on 5-Nov.

Amos, will tell Lebanon that the US wants to implement the 1701 with two major changes:

1- Allow foreign soldiers, including the UN, to raid any location in south Lebanon they suspect to be affiliated with Hezbullah without coordination with the Lebanese army

2- Allow the establishment of watch towers manned by foreign and UN soldiers on the Lebanese-Syrian border and at the coast.

Amos frames his visit as Lebanon's last diplomatic solution. However, Israel did not signal they want a ceasefire nor did Israel signal they will stop the attacks in Lebanon until they accomplish their plans.

Israel didn't ask the US for a ceasefire, and so, Lebanon is being fooled into a discussion and a concession against its sovereignty, for nothing.

‼️ The IDF announce they will start attacking all businesses they claim are affiliated with Hezbullah or supportive of Hezbullah in Lebanon

IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari says the military will soon issue evacuation warnings in Lebanon to distance themselves from Hezbullah banks and other finance-related sites

There are hundreds of these branches all around Lebanon, many inside buildings and residential apartments.

These banks gave people non-interest loans and helped finance many local businesses. Qard al-Hassan doesn't finance Hezbullah, it's the contrary.

(There goes my gold. Rip)

🇱🇧 Qard al-Hassan offers gold storage and selling services, loans, ATMs, mobile banking app, financial support, and many more.

🇱🇧l🇮🇱 Israel attacking Qard al-Hassan is in short term destroying dozens of residential buildings and towers where the bank has a branch in and possibly burning and evaporating all the people's deposits and their personal gold.

In long terms, they are aiming to knock down all what Hezbullah has built over the past 4 decades, and alienate it from the people and make it a threat to their wellbeing, both financial and likelihood.

🇱🇧l🇮🇱l🇺🇳 Earlier today, an IDF bulldozer deliberately demolished an observation tower and perimeter fence of a UN position in Marwahin, according to a statement by UNIFIL

This happened on the same day when they also attacked and killed both civilians and Lebanese army soldiers. And then there is someone who wants us to put out lives between the hands of the former and abandon the resistance.
