                                                 13/11/2024
أحبائي أولي البأس، وأنوار الهداية في المقاومة الإسلامية.
السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته.
تلقيت رسالتكم النورانية، أيها الثابتون في الأرض، الشامخون في السماء.
قرأت في طيّاتها عشق الرسالة والرسول، والولاية، والولي، ودرب الحسين (ع)، والوفاء لسيّد شهداء الأمة قائدنا الأمين الأسمى سماحة السيد حسن نصر الله (رضي الله عنه)، والراية المرفوعة للمجاهدين والشهداء.
رأيت فيها إيمانكم بتحرير القدس وأرضنا المحتلة...
وشموخ عزّتكم ترفعون بها أهلنا وأحبّتنا...
وبأس مواجهتكم تُحصّن صمودنا وتُحقّق نصرنا بهزيمة عدوّنا...
وصرختكم بالنار من أجل سيادتنا واستقلالنا...
وعطاءات دمائكم تصنعون مستقبل أجيالنا ووطننا...
هي كل الخيرات على أيديكم، قال تعالى:
"لكن الرسول والذين آمنوا معه جاهدوا بأموالهم وأنفسهم وأولئك لهم الخيرات وأولئك هم المفلحون" (التوبة 88)
أحبّائي...
تصدّون العدو بجباهكم، وتطردونهم بِوقع نعالكم...
أنتم القوّة في مواجهة الجبروت والطغيان...
أنتم الرؤوس المرفوعة تكسر الذلّ والإستسلام...
أنتم الإباء تُزلزلون أركان الصهيونية...
أنتم أمواج الخير تُسقطون عربدة الشرّ...
أنتم مستقبلنا الواعد يا صخور الصمود وثبات الأرض...
أنتم ماء حياتنا، ونور طريقنا إلى سعادتنا...
أُقبّل أياديكم والأرض التي داستها أقدامكم...
وأُقبّل جباهكم وطلقات الرصاص تنحر أعداءكم...
يا أولي البأس كيف تماهيتم بعشق الله تعالى فمدّكم بأنواره...
كيف أدّيتم صلواتكم فتضاعفت قوّتكم وانطلقت صواريخكم وطائراتكم تُزلزلهم...
كيف اقتحمتم غمار الموت وبقيتم تُواجهون...
كيف تخليّتم عن كل شيء فربحتم الأفضل من كل شيء...
كيف تُقاومون وتزرعون الأمل فينا...
ما أروعكم تُحبّون الحياة العزيزة...
وما أعظمكم لا تقبلون إلا إحدى الحسنيين...
لي الفخر أن أكون معكم على نهج الأمين المؤتمن (قدّس سرّه)
وهنيئًا لمن نَهل من عطاءات شهدائكم، وعنفوان جهادكم وتفانيكم وإخلاصكم...
كل الأنظار مُتّجهة إلى مقاومتكم يا رجال الله في الميدان، يا رجال حزب الله...
يا إكسير الحياة العزيزة...
أشكر الله تعالى أن اختارني واحد منكم...
والسلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته...

❗️The rampage of terror doesn't end, with new threats in Beirut's Haret Hreik and Dahyeh.

They can attack all their supposed targts in one day, yet they miraculously keep finding new buildings to attack over days and months

This would mark more than 24 hours of continuous bombing in Beirut

❗️A full family survived after an Israeli bomb didn't explode when it impacted their house in Ghazieh town this night.

They were the target.

🇮🇱 Tonight senior Israeli officials told the government and Netanyahu that the situation is very bad and they need to strike a deal to save the hostages, without any further delays.

Netanyahu who doesn't care, who left 100+ Israeli as hostages for more than one year, abandoning them to start a new war in Lebanon and soon one with Iran, said it is all lies and media fabrications.

He added that it is Hamas who is stopping a deal not him.

☠️ The IDF announces the names of 5 dead Israeli soldiers in south Lebanon

The rotten carcases have been identified as:
- Captain Itay Marcovich, aged 22, from Kokhav Ya'ir, a Platoon Commander in the 51st Battalion, Golani Brigade

- Staff Sergeant Sraya Elbom, aged 21, from Mehola, Squad Commander in the 51st Battalion, Golani Brigade

- Staff Sergeant Dror Hen, aged 20, from Gan Haim, Squad Sergeant in the 51st Battalion, Golani Brigade

- Staff Sergeant Nir Gofer, aged 20, from Dimona, a soldier in the 51st Battalion, Golani Brigade

- Sergeant Shalev Itzhak Sagron, aged 21, from Sderot, a soldier in the 51st Battalion, Golani Brigade

Additionally a 6th soldier was killed, but his name was not cleared for released. They didn't provide detail on how they were killed.

⭕️ According to details, a group of 10 Golani soldiers were ambushed at an entrance of a location.

Hezbullah killed 6 and injured 4 others. Location is unclear but likely Bint Jbeil.

Expect the IDF to make a full story of it soon, and create some 3d pictures and infographics saying the soldiers died at this compound and now etc etc

Personally, I'm worried about a trend noticed in the border towns. Where the IDF faces a large death toll at the beginning of a battle for a village, then the situation changes and no more after. Let's hope the second towns delivery daily such amazing news.

⭕️ And unlike what people said, it wasn't a house collapsing

Again, it was a small group of 2-4 Hezbullah fighters against a whole Israeli army unit of 10-15 soldiers. This is no what Hezbullah claims but Israel.

The death of a platoon commanding officer tells you a lot. Infantry vs infantry, the IDF would crumble facing such men.

Again an odd trend I've noticed, almost always for all these casualty events, Hezbullah doesn't issue any statements and fighters who did it don't communicate it back to command or are martyred before they could.

Many of the statement that Hezbullah announced Israeli casualties, the Israeli army didn't acknowledge. Injuries were however reported by media.

🇮🇱l🇱🇧 The details of the battle of the 51st Battalion in South Lebanon based on Israeli media

1. The Golani Brigade and the 188th Brigade, under Division 36, have been operating in recent days on the outskirts of the second line of villages in the western sector in southern Lebanon, in an attack on new areas where the IDF has not maneuvered on the ground until now.

This is a maneuver limited in scope, the purpose of which is to seize controlled territories and launchers that target the settlements in the north.

From these areas, among others, firing has been carried out on the northern settlements in recent weeks.

2. Battalion 51 this morning began a battalion attack on a number of targets, and as part of it raided a number of buildings. In one of the buildings - the force encountered Hezbullah at close range, and a prolonged battle took place.

3. The IDF estimates that these are 4 Hezullah fighters who waited for the force inside the building and conducted the fighting with them.

At the same time as the battle inside the building - others from nearby buildings fired from an anti-tank at the same building where the IDF was fighting

4. The battle lasted about 3 hours (from 10:00 this morning until about 1:00 p.m.), with a complex and prolonged evacuation of the injured and a long time required to consolidate the situation on the incident.

5. A preliminary investigation shows that there was fire on the building into which the fighters entered.

The IDF suspects that there is an underground shaft inside the building, under whose protection Hezbullah his

This is the style of fighting, they never enter a building before attacking it with grenades, anti tank weapons, and bullets. They enter things cleared before.

🇱🇧l🇺🇸 A top US intelligence official said Tuesday that Hezbullah’s capabilities had been significantly degraded, but their ground forces along the border with Israel remain largely intact.

“It still remains down, but far from out,” said Brett Holmgren, the acting Director of the National Counterterrorism Center.

“Our assessment is that the Israeli military actions have significantly degraded Hezbullah’s military capabilities,” Holmgren said during a webinar with the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS).

But he warned that the group had built up a massive arsenal of rockets, missiles and other capabilities before the latest war with Israel.

“The leadership losses have had an impact on their ability to organize and to strategically put together a way forward. But the ground forces in the south remain somewhat intact,” Holmgren said on Tuesday.

As for Hezbullah’s wing responsible for attacks and operations outside of Lebanon, Holmgren warned that these capabilities “have largely been untouched.”

He specified the Islamic Jihad Organization (IJO) and other external components of Hezbullah as having suffered “little impact thus far.”

In another parallel world, out of all the bloodshed and massacres, the Lebanese Forces party issued an official statement accusing Hezbullah of demolishing the municipality building of Mraijeh area

The same area that has been under non-stop Israeli airstrikes, and not once they condemned any single Israeli action or massacre.

Make it make sense.

🇱🇧 And in another statement, they stated that "the international community has decided to end Hezbullah's weapons, and Lebanon has two choices: to become a normal state or to remain a battlefield forever"

They called Hezbullah's weapons Iranian, and somehow mentioned the invisible Syrian occupation.

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.
🇮🇱 3 weeks and the mother of the Israeli pilot who committed suicide is still begging the Israeli army to bury him in the military cemetery. The army refused. (Alleged photo of him)

A week or so again, there was another suicide in Gaza where an Israeli soldier killed himself with a grenade. A similar incident happened a few months ago.

Neither will classified as military deaths nor added to the death tally of the war, even though they committed suicide in Gaza.

🇱🇧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
🇱🇧 Here is some more tea

Simome happens to have been injured in a resistance attack in 1995 during the occupation era before 2000, but survived.

But it gets more interesting. Just two days before the occupation ended through the grand liberation, he killed a fellow soldier named Pascal Labakeh.

Pascal sexually assaulted Simone's wife. After killing Pascal, he escaped to Israel with his wife and kids, but sentenced to 23 years in prison.

So in 2023 he left, and worked at a cafe. He was killed in 2024 by a rocket fired by Hezullah and which impacted Nahariyya.
