Lebanese News and Updates
🇮🇱 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.
🇮🇱 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.

❗️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.

🇱🇧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.

🇱🇧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.

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

⭕️ Hezbullah released footage of their attempted targeting the 'Kirya' base in central Tel Aviv with suicide drones and Qader-2 ballistic missiles.
👍71👎20🫡8🤬1
📸 The video included an underground city in south Lebanon, with the short range ballistic missile is moved and loaded with safety

Operating such large systems with Israeli air dominance is impossible. Hezbullah prepared very well, and such is an example

⭕️ Hezbullah issued a series of important statements a few ago:

1- An ATGM attack on Israeli soldiers in the western outskirts of Jebayn town

2- Rocket attacks towards Israeli forces in Amra gate, in the outskirts of Khiyam village several times

3- Rocket attacks towards Israeli forces in eastern outskirts of Tallouseh

Both Tallouseh and Jebayn are new axis of the ground invasion. The ATGM attack has to have killed at least one in direct impact.

No mention of Shamaa yet.
