🗣️ 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.

📑 Meidoun (ميدون) is a village in the West Beqaa District in southern Lebanon. Following the 1982 invasion it was just North of the Israeli security zone.

It's as south as Beqaa can possibly be southern.

📷 The Israeli army acknowledge a Hermes-450 UAV was shot down over south Lebanon.

They announce attacking the "site from where the air defence missile was fired from".

The attack took place hours after the drone was shot down, hopefully late to destroy it (the site).

📹 Hezbullah releases footage of shooting down the Hermes-450 UAV yesterday night.

📑 The head of the IDF's intelligence directorate Major General Aharon Haliva decided to retire from following his department's failure to predict 7-October

The retirement will not be immediate - but expected in a few weeks.

📷 About an hour ago, the Israeli army attempted to destroy the wreckage of the Hermes-450 in an airstrike on the outskirts of Al-Mahmoudieh village in south Lebanon.

This is the 3rd MALE UAV to be shot down and crash in Lebanon during this battle. Israeli media attempted to downplay it and claim too many attempts were done over the months and only a few were successful.

🎪 ‘Return to the Mount’ has called on Jewish fanatics to storm Al-Aqsa Mosque today before sunset to perform a ‘Passover sacrifice’.

Compared with last year, rewards have been decreased (except for the maximum one):
🏅 Arrested: 200 ⁠shekels ($53).
🥉 Arrested with a lamb or kid (young goat): 700.
🥈 Arrested with a lamb or kid on ‘Temple Mount’: 2,500.
🥇 Successful sacrifice: 50,000 (about $13,300).

This provocation has been devoted this time to the “return of the hostages”. Some activists have been interrogated by the Israeli police.

📷 A series of Israeli attacks target the village of Srefa.

📷 A couple of hours ago, an airstrike targeted Al-Jabour hills for the third day in a row.

🚢 🇾🇪 🌍 Suez Canal blockade remains in effect.

🔶 The US Navy is still issuing combat medals in the Red Sea, the majority of Suez Traffic is still diverted (through which passes 12% of *total* global trade), and that this is all helping inflation to rise.

🔶 LNG shipments through the canal have dropped to zero. Qatar provides 13% of Europe's LNG, and the fastest route is through the canal. Ironically, this might mean Russia captures more of the European LNG market.

📷 The attack in Srefa damaged one apartment and lightly injured two.

A family living on the ground floor survived.

📷 An additional attack took place in Reb Tlateen and Odaiseh.

📹 The footage by the Israeli army shows the drone strike on the apartment in Srefa, where they claim they attacked members of Hezbullah.

No death reported and civilians were harmed.

🔻 In response to the attacks on those three Lebanese villages and putting civilians in danger, a rocket barrage was fired towards the military base in Ein Zetiem.

Sirens were sounded as a result in Safad.

📹 Hezbullah released footage of its attack on Israeli equipment in al-Wazzani and Hanita between 20 and 22 April.

📹 Additional footage was released of a Burkan rocket attack on Jal al-Allam base.

⚠️ The Israeli army attacked Yaroun village and Al-Jabour mountains a few earlier.

Al-Jabour area seems to be the new area of concentration to the Israeli army.

📹 Footage from the very intense Israeli attacks on Al-Jabbour mountains.

📷 Last year or so, the Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant revealed aerial footage of an airfield established by Hezbullah in the Jabbor area, southern Lebanon.

These mountains are under heavy attacks in the past few days and tonight.
