— 🇮🇱/🇱🇧 BREAKING: An unnamed Arab country has provided credible intelligence information to Hezbollah indicating that Israel will launch a large scale military operation inside Lebanon – LBCI

@Middle_East_Spectator

Note that LBCI is quite biased against Hezbollah and has Saudi funding.

Might be important to keep in mind.

@Middle_East_Spectator

⚡️🇸🇩🇮🇷 In a report, Bloomberg quoted Western officials as saying that Iran had provided the Sudanese army with “Muhajir 6” drones capable of surveillance and combat activities

The agency confirmed that "satellites captured images of an Iranian 'Mohajer 6' drone, this month, at the Wadi Saydna base, north of Omdurman, under the control of the army."

Three Western officials, who requested to withhold their identities, said, “Sudan received shipments from the Mohajer 6 aircraft, which is a single-engine drone manufactured in Iran, and carrying guided munitions.”

⚡️🇪🇬🇵🇸 Egypt yet again reaffirms that it rejects Israel's request for its forces to enter the city of Rafah and the Philadelphia axis - stating that the Egyptian government has indeed received such a request on the 27th of January, and has rejected it.

It also detailed that there will be "severe consequences" for the violation of the Philadelphia axis and a proposed occupation of Rafah.

– Holy Qur'an 55:33

— Hezbollah is using heavy missiles, such as the Burkan, almost on a daily basis now.

They're also using longer range ATGMs such as the Iranian 'Dehlavieh' and 'Almas' types, and Falaq rockets, which carry a large warhead.

The intensity of warfare in the North has increased massively. At this point I'm convinced Israel will act militarily.

They can't ignore this any longer.
