— 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.

@Middle_East_Spectator

The U.S. claims that it was Al-Rukban base in Jordan, but Jordan now told Al-Jazeera that it was actually Al-Tanf base in Syria

What a shitfest. I guess we'll see soon enough who's lying.

— Theory:

The U.S. knows that its bases in Syria are illegal and have no pretext in international law, therefore the resistance's attack is legitimate according to UN Article 51.

However, Jordan officially invited the U.S., so its presence there is actually legal. The U.S. is trying to make it seem like it happened in Jordan, not Al-Tanf, to discredit the validity of the action.'

— Friend's theory:

'There are U.S. outposts belonging to Al-Tanf on the Jordanian side.

Whether it's shrapnel that hit them, I don't know. But what might be the case is they were wounded in Syria, carried into Jordan, treated in a field hospital in Jordan and died of their wounds there.'
