📸 Inside a re-purposed civilian house that escaped demolition, the Israeli army CoS, head of the Northern Command, division commanders and other others met to brief.

Usually any house with hidden windows, is a house with Israeli soldiers, like in Gaza like in Lebanon.

One day, it has to happen, that such meetings will be attacked. It has to.

⭕️ Summary of the situation by Hezbullah's military operations room about the event.

Below is the summary of the summary:

- Western Sector: Hezbullah continues to engage the Israeli forces in Labbouneh area and outside of Naqoura, where the 146th division attempts to reach Wadi Hamoul

There hasn't been any new attempts tk push towards villages in this sector since 28-Oct [near to when Khiyam battle started].

The Israeli army continues to bombard those areas with artillery and jets, including the second row of towns: Teir Harfa, Jebayn, Sheheen, etc.

- For Maroun a-Ras and Yaroun sector Hezbullah carried some 26 attacks on the Israeli forces in the eastern side of the town where they maintain presence

Hezbullah defended against an Israeli attempt to advance from Yaroun towards the western neighborhood of Maroun al-Ras

Hezbullah also defended against an Israeli attempt from eastern Maroun and Aitaroun towards Aynatha

⭕️ The statement adds, and I quote:

- The decision taken by the leadership of the Israeli enemy army to move to the second phase of the "ground maneuver" in southern Lebanon will only lead to disappointment, and its inevitable results will be more losses and failures; and our fighters are waiting.

- The resistance has taken, within its defensive plans, all measures that enable it to fight a long battle to prevent the enemy from achieving its goals in defense of the freedom and sovereignty of its country, and the dignity and honor of its proud people.

- We confirm that the front in all axes and sectors possesses the necessary equipment and various military specialties to fight such a battle.

- Despite the claims made by the enemy about controlling the border villages, our fighters were able during the past few days to carry out many rocket attacks from the Lebanese-Palestinian border.

Theywere also able to surprise the enemy with direct clashes behind its lines of deployment.

Seen here, alongside IDF soldiers and other settlers in a raid inside the West Bank at Yosef tomb.

Almost all new Trump appointments are hardliners, pro-Israel anti-Iran

🇮🇱 In desperate needs for even more soldiers, to maintain the war effort in Lebanon, Gaza, Syria, West Bank, 1948 lands and everywhere....

... The IDF will issue between 4,500 and 7,000 orders to join the reserves for the religious ultra-orthodox, including Yeshiva students.

In previous orders, only a small percentage came to recruitment offices. One of the reasons Gallant was fired was because of this, allegedly.

However Netanyahu's yes-man, Katz, didn't scrap the call for these 7,000 recruitment orders.

🇱🇧l🇮🇱 25% decline in reserve soldiers willing to join the IDF again: We are tired

(Quoted as is from a Jewish journalist)

There has been a significant decline in the rate of reserve soldiers showing up for duty in recent weeks compared to the start of the war.

At the start of the war, the IDF reported that more than 100% of reservists called up for duty had shown up.

In recent weeks, the turnout rate in the reservist units currently fighting in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip has varied between 75% and 85%, according to defense sources.

The decline has been attributed by senior officers to burnout among reservists after fighting for over a year of war, along with them being away from their families for extended periods, losing jobs, or missing academic studies.

It has also been attributed to the failure of the country to draft masses of the ultra-Orthodox community, while the national religious and secular communities serve at high rates.
👍60👎7🫡3💔2🤬1
🇮🇱 Jobs wise, you can see Israeli media everywhere begging to help reserve soldiers.

Some are setting up GoFundMe, others are trying to help their bankrupted business because they have left them to go kill civilians in Lebanon and Gaza.

These two ugly bastards, one is a Belarusian who came to Israel to serve in the army, is promoting his products to help with the 🦨 stink.

This is a mass phenomenon, not just few cases. Israel arrogantly has dragged the war for one year, and is still dragging it longer without wanting to compromise.

And it'll only cause more exhaustion for them, exhaustion to one of the top 10 militaries in the world, and the US-EU backed economy

🇺🇸 Mike Huckabee in 2017: “There is no such thing as West Bank.”

Trump gave Israel the Syrian lands in the Golan Heights, officially annexing it. Next is the West Bank.

And with Gaza now under Israel war and genocide, Trump might be the factor to accelerate the end of the Palestinian statehood if Israel wins this war.

🇮🇱l🇱🇧 It's as if the IDF knows nothing but lies.

Statement: "intercepted or in open area"
📸 The two who where killed in Nahariyya are one Lebanese and one Israeli.

Ziv Belfer (52) and Shimon Nejam (54).

🇱🇧l🇮🇱 The Lebanese that was killed in Nahariyya is Simone Najem.

He was a former soldier in the mercenary militia South Lebanon Army, which supported the Israeli occupation of south Lebanon and was part of torturing prisoners, until the withdrawal in 2000 where he escaped to Israel

I wonder if his family will ask for his body to be buried in Lebanon, as usual.
