πŸ“· Visual evidence showcases a successful Israeli hit on a S-300 radar operated by the Iranian forces in Iran's Asfahan province, refuting the "lie" that nothing was damaged.

The Israeli attack was covert, and was air launched from over Iraq. It was only partially successful.

πŸ“ On this I would like to point a few things:

1- The Iranian attack was more bold, more destructive and more worthy and did not reach its full potential only because of the help of the U.S., U.K and allies. Had it not been for them, the damage that could have happened in Israel would have been much much worse

2- The Iranians were brave and bold. They took credit for the attack. Israelis are cowards for not taking public responsibility for this and many other attacks. Yes actions speak louder, but sometimes not speaking is fear-controlled.

3- The damage caused to the radar is an expensive loss, showcases Israeli accuracy to operate and not have impact on the whole airspace in the middle east. This gives them the element of suprise.

4- The number of impacts from the Israeli attack is, as of now, one. It is believed about 3 missile launched and only one was successful. This isn't a successful operation but a valuable lesson for them for future attacks.

5- Both Iran and Israel limited "news" about this attack to end this round of escalation. But it is fair to say Iran won it.

Finally, you have to understand some news aren't what you want to hear and yes Iranian officials tend to hide things and lie in the process. It's something to not acknowledge an event and another to deny anything happened.

πŸ“Ή Israel's leading member of the War cabinet promises Israelis to return to their homes by the start of next academic year.

Israeli reporters claim this implies after the war in Rafah, Gaza the Israeli army will mount a campaign in south Lebanon.

Despite that, the Israeli leadership is still trying to find a political solution. As for Hezbullah, they have stated countless times that they will stop when the war in Gaza stops.

πŸ“‘ Very brief coverage on the possible U.S. sanctions on the Israeli army

- The Biden administration is planning to sanction the Israeli army brigade Netza Yahuda
- If sanctioned, they are not allowed to use any U.S. equipment or benefit from the military aid. If this is implemented, they have no choice but to disband because all of the Israeli equipment and weapons are either of U.S. funded or joint projects
- The brigade got the support of the Israeli leadership publicly who refused the U.S accusations
- Israeli leaders and the army spokesman issued statements of support to the brigade

Why is this important?
- This sets a precedent. The U.S. sanctioning Israelis then an Israel army unit is historic
- Possible disbanding of an Israeli army brigade
- The army's announcement that the brigade operated in Gaza could help link crimes to it
- Weakens the image of the most moral army, who failed to curb the criminal activity of its soldiers
and many more

And finally I'd like to note, many of you might have not noticed this but the grip of the Israeli army chief of staff over the commanders of his brigades is loosened, and the commanders are turning their area of operations into their own turfs.

While evidently all loyal, they are operating based on how they view what is best and not what their leadership says. This is a fact that no Israeli journalist or soldier can deny.

πŸ“· U.S.-based β€˜Iran International’ releases satellite imagery of the Isfahan base

The media cites Washington Institute senior fellow Farzin Nadimi, who claims it shows a hit caused by an Israeli Sparrow/Rocks missile on April ⁠19 (β€œcan't be caused by toy quadcopters”).

This image is, however, consistent with light damage from a small drone, writes Amir-IranGeoMil.

The radar is standing (cf insert), maybe a 30N6E2 radar of the S-300 PMU2 system. (Farzin Nadimi alleges it's the 92N6E designed for S-400)

The black trace, rectangular in shape, is not due to an explosion; this is a net draped over the vehicle to obscure the extent of the damage, Amir explains, as the pic was reportedly taken yesterday. β€œVehicle hasn't been moved, so it may be inoperable.”

It is possible that a quadcopter hit the radar and caused a fire.
