📑 Earlier today, Hezbullah mourned three of its fighters on the path to Jerusalem and in defence of south Lebanon in an Israeli attack. They are identified as:

🌷 Ali Rida Harb from Al-Mansouri, 1973
🌷Mubarak Ali Hamieh from Taraya (Beqaa), 1982
🌷 Hussein Ali Doghman, from Kfartabnet, 1994

📹 Hezbullah released footage of its attack on an Israeli base yesterday, destroying new spy equipment.

The base in Shebaa farms is mostly destroyed from various attacks over the months.

📷 A new Israeli attack targets Teirharfa - al-Jebayn area.

The airstrike there this morning is said to have caused 3 casualties.

📷 Earlier this morning, the Israeli army attacked Aita al-Shaab and another location near Majdal Zoun.

📷 This was followed by another wave of attacks on Aita al-Shaab.

📷 Later on, an attack targeted the hills of Al-Jabbour area in the south western Beqaa area.

📷 Members of the Israeli war cabinet, Benny Gantz and Ben-Gvir, publicly attack each other on social media, accusing each other of being a security risk to the state of Israel.

🗣️ The military branch of Hamas in Lebanon takes credit for a 20-rocket attack on Shlomi settlement and the IDF base it hosts.

The statement says this is in "retaliation to the Israeli crimes in Gaza."

📹 Video: Israelis march in support of re-occupying Lebanon and living in the holy biblical lands in south Lebanon.

While not a majority view this a "pressing priority" such movements are supported by leading voices in the Jewish leadership.

📹 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.

📑 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.

📹 Hezbullah released footage of their attack on an Israeli army vehicle in Metulla.

An Israeli soldier was near the vehicle.

This is one of several vehicles destroyed in the last few days, none of which the Israeli army acknowledged.

📃 The IDF announced the death of one soldier from Hezbullah's attack this week on Arab al-Aramsha

☠️ Maj. (res.) Dor Zimel, 27, a deputy company commander in the Etzioni Brigade, from Even Yehuda.

📷 U.S.-based ‘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 (“can'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. “Vehicle hasn't been moved, so it may be inoperable.”

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

📹 Hezbullah released footage of an ATGM attack on a house used by the Israeli army soldiers in Metulla settlement.

📹 Report by Al-Manar covers the hours during which a public funeral took place of a Hezbullah martyr in the border village of Kfarkila.

The video shows journalist, families, and men visiting their village despite the risks and showing defiance towards the Israeli enemy.

📹 The Israeli army released footage of its attack on Kfarkila, killing whom they describe as a member of Hezbullah.

In reality, it was an unarmed member of Amal Movement, and a local to this village who decided to stay.

🌷 The martyr is identified as Waseem Moussa Moussa, born in Kfarkila in 1974.

⚠️ Hezbullah issued a statement announcing they shot down an Israeli drone over Al-A'ysheyeh area at 10.50 pm

They add that they will issue another statement soon after identifying the drone type.

🗣️ Hezbullah updates the statement and announce they shot down a Hermes 450.

Before today, there is visual proof of shooting down one Hermes-450 and another Hermes-900. Additionally, the damaging of another Hermes-450

⚠️ The Israeli army carried an air strike with missiles targeting Abu Rashid mountain in the Al-Jabour area opposite the town of Maidoun.

This airstrike in the Beqaa province is likely the Israeli retaliation to Hezbullah shooting down the Hermes-450.

The current equation is Golan Heights = Beqaa and UAV = Beqaa.
