⭕️ Hezbullah released footage of their ATGM attack using an Almas on an Israeli bulldozer used to demolish civilian houses.

The 3 bulldozers as usual, demolished and then were leaving the Lebanese territory towards Israel.

The Almas successfully hit the Israeli vehicle, the driver cabinet exactly, put it on stop, and burned it down.

The Israeli army and media didn't acknowledge the event, didn't acknowledge any injuries or death, and pretended nothing happened.

What's more remarkable is that Hezbullah had an AT crew and another crew being able to monitor the movement on the border wall in Kafrkila after 1.5 months from Israeli army activity there. Then send this footage to military media.

Being able to stay there with the absence of civilians and normal life to merge with, is extremely difficult.

I'll cover today's news that I didn't, in about an hour or so.

I'll make sure to limit them to few posts to avoid spam, as they are old now and some already read them elsewhere. Excuse me.

📹 Closeup to the possible impact of Fadi rockets or sharpnel in Nahariyya. Possible casualties.

Fadi rockets are usually fired to engage AD before sending the ballistic missile. However Fadi is intercepted by the Iron Dome, while Nasr is by David's Sling.

🇱🇧l🇮🇱 About 10 Fadi rockets were fired during the operation of ballistic launch towards Tel Aviv.

The IDF acknowledges they didn't intercept all.

There are two deaths reported in this impact in Nahariyya. Unclear yet if Israelis carcasses, Arabs, or foreign workers.

Finished yesterday reading this book by Ami Ayalon, the former director of the Shen Bet and a ex-commander of the Navy.

It was a short 280 page book, took barely 3 days. Wanted to highlight what one can understand from it:

Unlike what the book noscript might sound, it wasn't a confession book nor one of a dissident to Israel and looking to end the Israeli occupation.

Rather, it was a book by someone who understood the war much better than many Israelis and reached to a conclusion that to ensure the survival of the state of Israel, they have to forfeit the maximalist goals of biblical lands and accept a compromise that will be enough to give hope to Palestinians and contribute in ending violence as a way for them to achieve basic human rights.

It also was noticable for me the lack of details of operations he did, and the lack of boasting about his kills. Usually they'd do this in their memoirs. But the more I read into his personality I noticed it wasn't about the lack of boasting, but the lack of humanization to whom he killed or contributed in killing.

They were nobodies, not worth mentioning, they are "human animals". But later on he learned to humanize who isn't fighting Israel, who isn't trying to kill Israelis, who isn't willing to defend themselves about what he himself acknowledges as: Israeli terror, Israeli occupation, Israeli degradation, Israeli mistakes.

He finally tries with some Palestinians to find a certain formula, to create a two-state peace that ensure Israel's survival.

A two state, because a one state solution will happen only in two cases. if Palestinians merge and Israel loses its Jewish majority, this would be a catastrophy. Or if Israel fully occupies the remaining Palestinian territory and forces the Arabs to live without rights and in a real apartheid. Then Israel would be in a worse condition.

He makes it clear he's Zionist, his parents are Romanian and illegal immigrants from the first wave of settlers. Makes sure he doesn't attack those right-wing settlers in Gaza and West Bank, because they are there doing what his parents once done, it's in the land promised by God.

He is living a crisis, and this book is not a memoir as much as it is him attempt to write down the chaos he feels is in his brain.

How to be a Zionist, true to his parents and culture, and to be human and what is being done to the Palestinians in the name of Zionism and God.

There is lots more, but no one is interested in a detailed review.

Finally, he shows that no matter left or right, everyone in Israel fooled Arafat, promised him with everything and gave him nothing, never saw Palestinians as partner in possible peace and always sold lies about a possible deal to buy time.

Arafat was screwed, by his approach and by the Israelis. Finally, Ayalon highlighted something important.

No one in Israel ever cared about the Holocaust until they needed it as an excuse. Most Israelis abandoned their history in diaspora for 2 thousand years and they came here assumed they are just back a few months after they were expelled.

They reshaped their past, and controlled the narrative to take control of the present and future. Israelis will not change that without a disaster, and the more crimes they do in Gaza will only deepen how far they are far from any humanity

We see this today in Gaza and Lebanon. He foreshadowed how the level of crimes will soon stripped Israelis of any humanity.

And END.

🇮🇱l🇱🇧 The news now in Lebanese media that Israel announced deepening the ground operation isn't very exact.

The Israeli army acknowledged that one division, the 36th, reached "new locations" in Lebanon.

This could be outside of the villages they operated in, or the outskirts of new villages. But there isn't yet any indication of a major push.

For sar, as explained before, the Israeli army is advancing in the safest ways possible and ensuring it avoid 2006's mistakes and at the same time advance.

This is through massive air and artillery attacks, followed by limited infantry incursions to areas destroyed by the air force, and then Bulldozer and tank crews maneuvering where it is already safe and far from vantage points of AT crews.

The factor is, Israeli media claims the goal to go deeper in Lebanon is to stop rocket fire and make Israel's negotiation stance better.

However aside from mortars, all rockets have a range more than 5 km. From those fat boys, to 107mm, 122mm, up to Fadi and Nasr.

Going deeper won't solve the problem, and will only cause more Israeli casualties and strain - and more destruction and massacres in Lebanon.

So what's next, this claim will stay. Today a little deeper, tomorrow a little more, later a little more than before till they reach the Litani if they arent stopped by the resistance and reach a stalemate that forces them to ask for a ceasefire.

So all we could ask for, is prayers to God to have mercy on us and guide these brave men. Sharpen their sight, better their aim, blind the enemy from seeing them, and use them to make the Israeli casualties tens of folds more.

📸 This evening, the Israeli terrorist army issued about a dozen evacuation orders in Beirut, and proceeded to destroy about 13 high-rise residential buildings.

The buildings neither served Hezbullah, nor had civilian offices for Hezbullah. Locals know and people living in these buildings know every neighbor.

Some of these buildings, were attacked only because in 2006 war they were attacked. Some didn't even have inhabitants since they were rebuilt. Empty waiting for rent or sale.

The attacks took place in:
- Sayed Hadi Highway
- Al-Marija area surroundings
- Al-Laylaki (near the Lebanese University)
- Haret Hreik (near Sayeda Zeinab Complex)
- Bir Al-Abed (Zein Medical Complex)
- Al-Hadath (near the Mechanics Center)
- Ghobeiry (near Al-Rawda School)
