🔊 New red alerts in Manara, Margaliot and nearby area from rocket fire towards Israeli army staging grounds.

🇱🇧l🇮🇷 The senior advisor to the Leader of the Islamic Revolution in the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ali Larijani, arrived to Lebanon on a visit during which he will meet with senior Lebanese officials and a number of representatives and party leaders

🇮🇱 Officials in the Jewish community cried that the Likud has declared war on them, after the new War Minister Katz didn't cancel the 7,000 calls for recruitment from the religious ultra-orthodox community.

Katz didn't want to pick a fight with the army allegedly, however he has no choice because of the desperate need of more manpower.

Israel is carrying fighting in Gaza and Lebanon, while maintaining operations in the West Bank and action in Syria and Iran.

📸 Larijani landed with the Israeli attacks ongoing.

🇱🇧l🇮🇷 His first visit was with the Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati.

Lebanon has currently no president, since Lebanese parties forgot how to vote

🇮🇱 Israeli media reports that the manpower situation exceeds the need to recruit the religious students

Yoav Zetun wrote on X that the gaps will not be closed by recruiting only from the ultra-Orthodox society.

He adds that additional changes are required and must take place from social understandings and decisive action by the IDF that will reduce the number of recipients of the exemption.

Almost 50% of the women are exempted from connoscription, the vast majority through the religious declaration section.

15% of the men who do enlist drop out, most of them in the first year.

And this excludes the soldiers dropping out through mental exemptions that have skyrocketed in the past few years.

✍ Does this mean the IDF is failing and unable to carry its missions? No. It just shows some cracks in a well-oiled machine.

❗️Al-Manar reports a confirmed burned down Israeli Merkava tank in Chamaa/Shamaa

This is the deepest the IDF has reached so far, to a strategic town/hill.

⭕️ A bulldozer was also attacked, mo details on status.

However it is reported near Chamaa's mosque which indicates the Israeli army has entered the small town.

🇮🇱l🇱🇧 As the battle is ongoing in Chamaa, heavy artillery is targeting the towns of Majdal Zoun and Mansouri, which are north of this town.

📸 So far at least 9 Israeli airstrikes have targeted Tebneen town.

The Lebanese Parliament Speaker is from this town.

❗️New bombing expected in Hadath and Haret Hreik in Beirut.

Extreme pressured in both south Lebanon and in Beirut. Extreme.

📹 New Israeli airstrikes in Deir Qanoun Ras al-Ain in the direction of Al-Malikiyah

Attacks also reported in Kafruman

❗️Local media reports that a scuffle happened at Beirut Airport between the security personnel assigned to escort Ali Larijani, and the airport security personnel, due to a request to search them.

After refusal to be searched, being diplomats, the Lebanese army officer who is now in control of the airport in coordination with the U.S.A ordered all gates shut.

Just amazing...

❗️First footage from the village of Shamaa, released by Al-Akhbar newspaper remarkably.

The paper claims these are IDF soldiers standing on top of the prophet's tomb, a few meters away from 3 injured Israeli soldiers.

Clahses are still ongoing in the village.

Can this photographer please go find some ATGM and fire it. Pretty Please

🇱🇧l🇮🇱 The Israeli soldiers are over the shrine, which in itself is surrounded by a ancient castle.

This castle and this town were destroyed up to 80% degree in the 2006 war. This area was also under Israeli occupation for 22 years.

📸 It's quite a beautiful town. Inshallah I'll visit it after the war.

🇱🇧l🇮🇱 By reaching Chamaa, if the Israeli army is able to end the resistance there, they can move towards Al-Bayadah.

In Al-Bayadah, there is a hill that can threaten Al-Mansouri coastal town. In 2006 the Israeli army didn't enter Al-Mansori, and only reached its gates.

Back then, the army moved special forces by helicopters. Today again, helicopters are non-existent over Lebanon.

By encircling this area, they would threaten the whole south western coast, and then push towards those villages from a position of encirclement. A lot of open lands they can maximize territorial gain.

The battle now is very important, because failing will make the situation dramatically bad. The IDF is adamant at achieving its targets, and only a very heavy toll can force it to withdraw.

📸 And while Israel was attacking Lebanon's capital, they attacked Syria in what is now daily attacks there.

To the clown orfialkov, we Shia aren't idolators, your just ignorant.

It's for the prophet Shimon, a figure mentioned in both the Muslim and the Christian tradition. In Christianity, he is called "Saint Peter" - Shimon ben Yochanan - one of Jesus' disciples
