⭕️ This group of 10 Israeli soldiers was defeated by only a couple of Hezbullah fighters who then retreated safely.

The IDF couldn't locate them after the very complex medvec operation, and claims they are hunting them to "close the circle"

That's a wicked phrase which mean they killed who kill them.

☠️ Shuvael Ben-Natan who was killed yesterday in southern Lebanon was one of the most dangerous and violent settlers in the West Bank

He is responsible for the murder of the Palestinian farmer Bilal Salah while picking olives in the village of Sawiya, south of Nablus.

He also participated in burning several Palestinian villages and burning their homes and vehicles in the West Bank.

He committed horrific massacres in the Gaza Strip while participating with the army.

He is a leading member and instigator of Ben Gvir's Hilltop Youth group.

Due to the number of his crimes, the Israeli police imprisoned him for few days, and the United States was planning to impose economic sanctions on him.

(missed the 5th carcass)

The 5th soldier has been named Sgt. First Class Gai Ben-Haroosh, 23, a commander in the Oketz canine unit, from Pardes Hanna-Karkur

A reservist with the 55th Paratroopers Brigade's 7155th Battalion was also seriously wounded in the same incident.

🇮🇱l🇱🇧 On two separate incidents also, two soldiers were several injured, one is a Merkava tanker and the other is a soldier.

On Thursday and Wednesday, Hezbullah attacked many tanks.

- A combat officer in the 75th Battalion, 7th Armored Brigade, was severely injured today (Thursday) during combat in southern Lebanon.

- A Reservist combat officer in the 6226th Reconnaissance Battalion, 226th Paratroopers Brigade, was severely injured today (Thursday) during combat in the north

✍ It's important to note:
- The IDF is only announcing in statements the serious injuries. Medium and light ones aren't being reported but locally and in hospitals.

The IDF is averaging about 15-25 daily medium to light injuries

So in those two includs, the other of that tanks crew definitely got injured. Etc

- Tanks and D-9 are built around saving the crew. So despite the lack of deaths in the ranks of those brigades, it doesn't mean Hezbullah failed to destroy or damage those tanks.

🇮🇱 Finally, an experienced Israeli fighter pilot and a previous paratrooper committed suicide this week, facing PTSD from all the men, women, and children he killed in airstrikes on civilian buildings and gathering in Gaza.

His last flight was 1.5 months ago

In it, they wanted to comfort those who are worried about them, and through it thank the people for their patience in this hardship

The full message here. Video includes these new statements and some old footage for editorial reasons (which is which is clear)

And as someone posted on X:

الرابط العاطفي بيننا وبين شباب المقاومة وقادتها صعب على من هم خارج البيئة فهمه. متل الرابط الموجود بين الأم وأولادها. حب فطري. لا محدود. لا مشروط. يسري في الدم. هم إخوتنا. آباءنا. أقاربنا. رفقاتنا. ولاد حيّنا. تاركين كل شي للدفاع عننا. هني نحن ونحن هني. هني أصل وجودنا وثباتنا.

🇮🇱l🇱🇧 Israel journalists shared and celebrated the controlled demolition of a mosque in one of the most border villages in south Lebanon, few hundred meters from the border wall.

Unclear what village. For the IDF, they have orders to demolish every house or structure that can be seen from the Israeli side of the border.

📸 This photo was released yesterday by the IDF of a Syrian imported, Russian made ATGM in Lebanon.

People were treating this as some sort of massive discovery, etc etc. I'm 100% sure this exact type of box and import was seen in Lebanon in 2006, and also located by the IDF during the invasion.

Can anyone help find the photo from then? Google became useless in search.

📸 One missile was fired from Lebanon. It was intercepted.

🇱🇧l🇮🇱 Sentinel-2 imagery from Oct 21st, shows the new Israeli army activity within south Lebanon.

According to this map, blue showing the new progress between Oct 16 - 21.

A major focus over those days has been the razing of residential areas within these areas. Significant parts of Ayta al-Shab, Markaba, Rab el Thalatine and Kfarkela have been razed over that period.

- In Naqoura sector, we can see almost no new progress by the IDF in Labbouneh sector. There is a full division there operating who is afraid to operate in the open and forests

In both areas the IDF dug through bulldozers a path in the area, starting from the UN bases.

- For the area facing Alma al-Shaab, the IDF dug a new road from the the border to the external gates of the town but didn't operate in it yet

- For Duhayra and Yarine, the IDF dug a road towards the southern neighborhoods of the towns, but didn't enter their center yet

- In Marwahin, Ramiah, and Aita al-Shaab the IDF largely operated in all 3 villages, mostly Aita

🇮🇱🇱🇧 In Yarun and Maroun, no new progress or Israeli attempted advances.

While the the IDF operated in most of Maroun, much less progress in Yaroun.

As for Aitaroun, the Israeli army just reached its western outkists from the direction of Maroun

- In Mays al-Jabal in Blida, similar to Maroun and Yaroun, the IDF operated most of the central and southern parts of the towns but didn't reach their north yet

- In Hula, we can notice that the IDF operated in the outer eastern roads of the town in the direction of the highway leading to Markaba where the IDF has largely operated in that town.

The IDF also advanced/operated in Reb Tlateen town, cutting the town in half through an incursion starting from the border area.

- Finally, in Aadaysit and Kfarkila, we can notice them operating in the areas we reported on two days ago. It's the border area and the towns facing Israel. However they haven't yet dug in the towns central or most actually.

It is estimates that the IDF has so far operated in about 35km^2
