🇸🇾 Following Al Qaeda Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) and Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), Al Qaeda Indian Subcontinent (AQIS) has expressed its support for the offensive in Syria.

Al-Qaeda worldwide unite to support the war on Syria's government and side by HTS and their allies.

🇱🇧l🇮🇱 It seems that the Israeli attacks targeted 3 of Lebanon/Syria's official border crossing. Not the first time during the war neither the first after the ceasefire.

Al-Arida crossing, Al-Adra crossing in Rablah, and Jousie crossing.

🇱🇧l🇮🇱 Since 1 am, Israeli bulldozers are razing what's left of Maroun al-Ras town.

Sounds are heard all the way to Bint Jbeil.

Aside from razing, one can only wonder what underground and on-ground spy equipment they are installing

📰 The Israeli army takes credit for attacking the northern border crossings between Lebanon and Syria, the ones near Homs and Qusayr.

They were clear that they didn't target any Hezbullah infrastructure nor did they claim foiling any weapon transfer.

They attacked these official border crossings under the pretext that they are "used by Hezbullah to smuggle". Several bridges and roads were also attacked.

As a result, Lebanon announces all the border with Syria is now closed, until further notice.

📸 In south Lebanon, the IDF continues to raid and advance in several locations in Naqoura axis, taking advantage of the ceasefire and Hezbullah's abstaining to comply.

The IDF entered new area, found new weapons including some small Burkans, some mortars and some 122mm rockets.

The IDF arrogantly issued a statement as if we are still at war, detailing their findings and boasting.

🇸🇾 The Russian Foreign Ministry reports that a meeting of the “Astana format” will take place tomorrow against the backdrop of what is happening in Syria.

Too late? Erdogan already announced his support to HTS, hoping they reach Damascus.

Was reading yesterday that whole Syrian army units disappeared. Not killed, not defected... simply not there to fight.

What's worrying is that these convoys are safely passing areas, and had there been minimal resistance their casualties would have been enough to delay their advances.

🇮🇱l🇱🇧 Unofficial footage released by the Israeli enemy of some of the activities of the Golani Brigade.

Evidently, you won't see any face-to-face clashes but rather exclusively:

- FPV drone attacks
- Airstrikes on fighters
- Drone strikes on fighters
And so on.

Video includes the footage of the martyrdom of some Hezbullah fighters. The footage is form the border towns and upward towards Tayr Harfa, Jebayn, and Shamaa.

Middle East Spectator — MES
🇷🇺/🇸🇾 Bloomberg, citing officials within the Kremlin: 'If the SAA continuously leaves their defensive positions, there is nothing we or any of Syria's allies can do'
I was just talking to a friend and told him if Syria falls to these terrorists, yes Lebanon's resistance would be cut from the world and Iran but this might not be the worst case scenario.

With the Israeli attacks on border crossing, the monitoring of the border area by the Lebanese army, US, and UK and the challenges in breaches faced by the Iranian and Syrian army in regards to weapon shipments...this would help speedrun local production of everything in Lebanon.

With Iran's know-how, and the Lebanon's access to the world in terms of machinery and raw material, and Hezbullah's engineers and the great education in Lebanon, this project is very feasible.

Hezbullah already produced its drones and parts of its missiles, even bullets and weapon's grade explosives. They produce rocket barrels and a lot of stuff.

There is a lot of things to discuss, and there is a lot of "light" at the end of any tunnel. Events aren't the end of everything really.

That's not false hope, it's reality. There is only one important factor, the unity and will of the Lebanese Shia population to save this sacred path, and next to it the whole Lebanese population's refusal to fight each other outside the parliament.

If I find the time, I'll try to write about this, there is a lot to discuss and showcase about this war and the events of Syria and the whole middle east. I just didn't yet try explain to explain things thoroughly, barely putting fragments here. I was overwhelmed too.

On the other side, it's quite ironic how the events of Syria unfolded just as I was reading a book called "the insurgents' dilemma" where the author spent the whole first few pages/chapters trying to say insurgents are no longer able to topple states because the conditions of the old world are no longer available in modern states. It's an interesting analysis but if we learned anything, there is no set of answers to explain everything and that every war or conflict is not like the other.

There is always one thing here that is absent there, had it been different, the whole situation would be too.

📸 This is the area they attacked twice before in Majdal Zoun.

They took credit for the second attack, claiming they targeted a rocket launcher. The first attacked injured 3 civilians, including a child...a week ago

❗️ Unconfirmed reports of two rocket launch from Lebanon. Sirens sounded only inside an Israeli base.

Details are unclear (hopefully a false alarm)

Laying it out here...

But someone has to train eagles on drone hunting because those little flying death machines are a critical centerpiece to all new ground warfare in modern armies vs adversaries that are states or non-state actors

The warfare is advancing very fast, and countering all the new breakthroughs and advances have been very slow and ineffective for weaker adversaries because of materialistic limitations. Warfare is becoming very lethal.

(Partially a joke, partially mean it)
