📸 And to justify destroying Aita al-Shaab, the Israeli army spammed red dots everywhere claiming this is where the prisoners were forced to falsely claim Hezbullah is in.

❗️A new Israeli attack targets Sidon city

🇮🇱l🇱🇧 The attack in Sidon yet again attacked very crowded buildings and neighborhoods.

📸 The Arab that was killed in Hezbullah's rocket attack on Ma'lout Tarshiha was an ex-IDF soldier and a son of an IDF soldier.

He was killed and his family were injured. He is named Mohammad Naeem.

⭕️ This morning, Hezbullah's Shura Council elected Sheikh Naim Qassem, the group's deputy, to succeed martyr Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, our holiest martyr in this generation

ابايع الشيخ نعيم خلفا للسيد حسن، امينا على ثغور المسلمين و دمائهم

⭕️ Sheikh Naim, may you lead us to victory and lead the post-war settlement in the best way possible in both growth of the resistance and most importantly helping the people

❗️Initial reports of a rocket or ATGM impact in Dan settlement.

This sector is now full of IDF soldiers who are moving towards Khiyam village

🇱🇧 In addition to Palestine's Islamic Jihad and the Popular Front, alongside others

⭕️ Continuous and violent attacks continue in Khiyam, where the Israeli army attempts to reach this important town

So far tonight, Hezbullah announced again attacking the IDF in the town's southern outskirts, announcing:

- Rockets towards Ya'qousa area
- Rockets towards Wata area (east of Khiyam)
- Rockets towards Tal al-Nahas
- Rockets towards Al-A'safir (birds) valley

Additionally earlier tonight, they announced another tank attacked at about 4 pm.

🇮🇱l🇱🇧 A barrage of some 30 rockets was fired from Lebanon at the Upper Galilee a short while ago.

According to the IDF, the rockets all struck open areas.

The open areas:

📸 A truck aka an open area that got hit and burned down.

Back in 2006, according to official data by the Israeli army and observers, in total, 52 Merkava tanks (predominantly Merkava IIs and IIIs) were hit.

Eight (8) remained serviceable on the battlefield, meaning they were slightly damaged and able to continue the battle.

Twenty-one (22) tanks suffered armour penetrations (15 from ATGMs, and 6 from IEDs and anti-tank mines)

Five (5) tanks were fully destroyed, without any ability to be fixed. Four by ATGMs and one by an IED.


⭕️ Currently in this war, since 1-Oct-24, about 41 tanks have been attacked by Hezbullah in the limited Israeli border invasion.

☠️ The Israeli army soldier that was injured last week successfully succumbed to his wounds and was yeeted to hellfire.

The rotten carcass has been identified as:
- Master Sgt. (res.) Yedidia Bloch, 31, of the 55th Paratroopers Brigade's 7155th Battalion, from Mevo Horon

📸 The purpose of my post here was to explain that not every tank hit is a tank destroyed, or out of services forever.

An example is a tank that Hezbullah successfully attacked and penetrated back on 17-Oct-23. The tank was abandoned for days, as the IDF was afraid to rescue it.

While penetrated (damaged) and abandoned, it was eventually rescued and repaired back to battle. Israeli tanks aren't Russian or German tanks.

This is just to put things in the correct perspective, and with the lack of transparency by the IDF and they hiding material losses on all fronts, it is hard to estimate damages.

🥀 The attack on Sarafand was another mass casualty event, where the Israeli enemy murdered at least 7
