๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿš— - Guide and summary to Merkava series Armor

NxRA (stands for Non-Energetic Reactive Armor) uses reactive polymers combined with gas generating chemical compounds to provide a highly energetic reaction that would destabilize the shaped charge jet, much less effective than ERA.the Armor destroys itself from the energetic reaction after a threat.

Merkava serie armor is designed to combat HEAT threats, due to the neutralization of real cannon threats, and now only battle insurgency. An APFSDS would cut clean through NxRA armor like this, which makes Merkava series armor significantly weaker than its counterpart MBT's.

The PG7VR's (Yassin 105mm) that AlQassam Brigades has built is not just a HEAT shell, but a double tandem charge, which is very much capable of going through the NxRA and SLERA armor that the merkava series have.

This video shows the use of IDF AT mines against two D9 Bulldozers, the use of improvised JDAMs on a Merkava 4, perhaps a GBU-32 due to the shape of the explosion, aswell as a PG7 HEAT shell against an IDF sniper position, hitting it directly.

โšก๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฆSaudi Arabia warned that it will get rid of ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บEU securities if ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บRussian assets are confiscated

โš ๏ธ๐Ÿ’ธRiyadh made it clear to the G7 that it is considering the possibility of selling part of its European obligations if the G7 decides to confiscate almost $300 billion of Russia's frozen assets. Particular mention was made of the debt issued by the ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท๐ŸฆFrench Treasury.

๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ’ปAccording to experts, Saudi Arabia holds a significant amount of European bonds worth tens of billions of euros, but this is a relatively small amount. However, the G7 is concerned about the possibility that other countries will follow Riyadh's lead.

โ“It is unclear whether Saudi Arabia acted out of selfish motives - fearing that the takeover would set a precedent that could be used against other countries in the future - or out of solidarity with Russia. Whatever Saudi Arabia's motives, the move underscores its growing influence on the world stage and the G-7's difficulties in attracting support for ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆUkraine from countries in the so-called Global South.

๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฆSaudi Arabia is the world's largest exporter of crude oil, and its central bank has net foreign reserves of $445 billion. The sovereign wealth fund also has nearly $1 trillion in assets.

๐Ÿ˜ฏmy opinion:
I think there are 2 options of why Saudi Arabia might be doing this:

1- Saudi Arabia is trying to stop Russia from giving houthis advanced weapons by opposing the EU step of confiscating Russian assets.
2- Saudi Arabia fears that similar steps might be taken in the future against them.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑโŒ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡พ - Mannie, an IDF Journalist:

The IDF says tanks and artillery shelled Syrian Army sites in southern Syria that had violated a 1974 disengagement agreement.

According to the IDF, the structures erected in the Golan Heights were a violation of the Agreement on Disengagement signed in 1974 between Israel and Syria, which concluded the Yom Kippur War.

"The IDF considers the Syrian Army responsible for everything that happens in its territory and will not allow attempts to violate the disengagement agreement," the military adds.

โžก๏ธWe did not ask for Hamas to coordinate with us regarding the negotiations, we support it with all its decisions and we stand with it until the end of the line.

โžก๏ธWhat happened in Gaza has disciplined the Israeli army and Gaza's steadfastness protected all fronts from any Israeli attack.

โžก๏ธWhat happened in Gaza reduced the ceiling of the declared Israeli goals on other fronts, especially in Lebanon.

โžก๏ธThe Israelis no longer threaten to eliminate the resistance in Lebanon and launch a comprehensive war against it.

โžก๏ธIf an agreement is reached on a ceasefire, and we all hope for that, our front will cease fire without any discussion.

โžก๏ธIf the Israelis decide to attack southern Lebanon after the ceasefire in Gaza, we will defend Lebanon and will not tolerate the occupation.

โžก๏ธI once again thank the Iranian President-elect for his telegram and the political position in it, which confirmed the firmness of Iranโ€™s foundations in supporting the resistance.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑโŒ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ๐ŸŸข- Alqassam posted a footage of a fighter sending a message to Netanyahu's son, Yair Netanyahu, before sniping an Israeli soldier.
In his message he said:
I've been looking for Yair, Netanyahu's son for long time, to put a bullet in his head and crush his skull, but apparently searching for him is pointless, ofc Netanyahu didn't send his son to hell, and he sent these morons to their death, so they deserve to be killed.

The fighter seemingly used Alghoul sniper anti materiel sniper rifle (50 Cal), the bullet has went through the soldier's body and hit the ground.
