Senior Hezbollah official Qmati says to Reuters “we have no information” on reports that IRGC Quds Force Commander Qaani is missing after Israeli airstrike in Beirut.

“We are also searching for the truth of this matter.”

It seems pro-Hezbollah Al-Mayadeen and Al-Akhbar telegram channels and websites were hacked by Israel.

Al-Mayadeen's telegram channel was hacked and a photograph of Khamenei on a sinking tugboat was posted: ‘Karbala, Karbala... we are coming for you with iron swords, because the losers are Hezbollah.’

Al Mayadeen:

Al Mayadeen Media Network website and platforms are under cyber attack and our technical team is working to solve the problem as soon as possible.

There's a telegram post war between Israel and Al Mayadeen. Every time Israel sends Khamenei's post, Al Mayadeen deletes it. Interesting moments.

Wall Street Journal:

Viktor Bout, the Russian arms dealer known as the ‘Merchant of Death’, is at it again, trying to broker the sale of small arms to Yemen's Iranian-backed Houthi militants.

According to a European security official and others familiar with the matter, Houthi envoys met with Bout in August when they travelled to Moscow to purchase $10 million worth of automatic weapons.

According to the sources, the arms delivery has not yet taken place. The weapons allegedly do not include weapons that could threaten the Houthis' Red Sea merchant shipping traffic.

The Biden administration was concerned that Russia might provide such advanced weapons to the Houthis in exchange for its support for Ukraine, but there is no evidence that these missiles were sent or that Bout was involved in any such deal.

Israeli prime minister Netanyahu summoned the cabinet to a meeting in his office for an ‘emergency consultation’.

Warplanes struck the Lebanese capital Beirut, Nabatiyah and Majdal after the Israeli army announced a heavy strike.

Israel Channel 12:

Massive air strikes were carried out by the Israeli air force on more than 30 villages in South Lebanon.

Today's Israeli army evacuation orders have a geographical focus on the south-western coastal area of South Lebanon. The Lebanese are ordered to move north of the Awali River.

Lebanese Ministry of Health:

The death toll from the ongoing Israeli bombardment and ground invasion has risen to 2083 and 9869 wounded.

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico:

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico vowed to block Ukraine from joining NATO for as long as he is head of the country's government.

“As long as I am head of the Slovak government, I will direct the MPs that are under my control as chairman of the [ruling Smer] party never to agree to Ukraine's joining NATO,”

Last Thursday, Fico promised to “do everything possible for the renewal of economic and standard relations with Russia.”

“Freedom came from the East, and absolutely nothing can change this truth.”

Israel struck the Dahiyah districts of Beirut.

Netanyahu:

Since 7 October, we have been waging a war for our existence, and I would like to rename it the ‘War of the Apocalypse’.

The war against our enemies and their axis of evil is a prerequisite for securing our future and ensuring our security.

Where is Qaani?

During a conference on Palestine in Tehran, IRGC Quds Force Commander Qaani sent a message apologizing for his absence, citing “another important meeting” as the reason he could not attend.

The minesweeper Alexander Obukhov of the Russian Baltic Fleet was put out of action on 7 October as a result of a sabotage operation by Ukrainian military intelligence.

The ship, based in the coastal town of Baltiysk in the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad, was seriously damaged after water leaked into the engine due to a ‘mysteriously appeared hole in a gas duct’.

This is the second case of Ukraine sabotaging a Russian warship in the exclave, which lies between Poland and Lithuania about 400 km (250 miles) from Ukraine's northwestern border.

Qassam Brigades spokesman Abu Ubayda issued a new statement on the anniversary of the 7 October Operation Aqsa Flood.

Stay tuned.

Abu Ubayda:

One year after the start of the Al-Aqsa Flood, we address you from Gaza, the determined and defiant Gaza that crushes its enemy.

After the enemy was in the final stages of planning a major offensive against the resistance in Gaza, we struck the enemy with a major pre-emptive strike.

Our people stood legendary despite the betrayal of their neighbours, the cowardice and collaborationism of the regimes, and the brutality of the enemy and the forces of oppression and aggression.
