📑 It's also quite amazing how the Israeli leadership is at loss of path on how to move forward because of the political clash and loss of direction.

There is no plan on what to do forward on, and there is no unity in the goals to achieve.

This situation has forced the Israeli army to operate in the same areas it already claimed fulfilling its objectives in, once and twice and thrice.

With renewed operations in Northern Gaza, the Gaza that is besieged by Israel from all 4 sides and has no access to what Rafah offers, continues to resist and rebuild and place a toll on the Israeli army.

In the new operation in Al-Zaytoun neighborhood, the Israeli army lost 5 soldiers and many more injured, including a Brigadier General, who was moderately wounded.

Army Chief of Staff Hertzi Halevi slammed Netanyahu in one of the recent cabinet discussions saying thay: "We are now operating once again in Northern Gaza. As long as there is no political move that will be established to govern the Strip instead of Hamas, we will have to act again and again there and in other places to dismantle Hamas infrastructure. It will be a sizzling effort.'

Halevi said these things - when senior IDF officers implored, and are on the brink of begging, the Prime Minister and the Israeli leadership to make decisions, formulate a strategy.

Cabinet officials have warned Netanyahu over the past few weeks and said that Israel's behavior and the fact that the government didn't not make decisions about what it wants to happen in Gaza the day after the war - "simply endangers human life."

📑 With the Israeli army incursion into north Gaza again, after withdrawing weeks ago, the resistance issued more than 25 statements today announcing various attacks and engagements with the IDF.

The attacks varried from mortar, AT, IED, and drone.

In the last 24 hours, at least 50 Israeli army soldiers were injured in Gaza fighting what they described months ago as the defeated Hamas brigades.

📹 Hezbullah released footage of their ATGM attacks on Israeli army equipment in Jal al-Allam and Mislav A'm bases over the last two days.

📝 This is new equipment installed on high poles. The question is: how come the crew placing them isn't being attacked?

📹 Hezbullah released footage of their successful attack on the Iron Dome launchers in Beit Hillel base.

The footage shows how Israelis showing the launching of Iron Dome missiles tipped off Hezbullah, who proceeded to send a drone over the site with a HQ camera to geolocate it.

Then, a suicide drone with 10's of kg of explosives were send to damage the launchers.

⚰️ Haaretz: 10+ Israeli soldiers have committed suicide since Oct ⁠7

In at least one case, a soldier whose death was announced as a war casualty “had in fact killed himself” reveals Haaretz (May 12).

The list includes “a couple of officers, ranking major and lieutenant colonel. Some killed themselves in the early hours of fighting, when battles were still raging” near Gaza. “This was very surprising. We are not used to suicides during fighting”, explains Prof. Yossi Levi-Belz, “[this] may point to the intensity of the horrors that took place in the Gaza Envelope during those hours.”

The IDF has started to recognize suicides as war casualties, but has changed its publishing policy after several weeks and is withholding at least 17 names, whether suicides or accidental deaths. “We thought it may be detrimental to public morale” - a source at the Personnel Directorate.

⋯ “[Regarding age] too, October 7 had an unusual effect”, Haaretz explains, “suddenly, the military has to contend with suicidal tendencies in career or reserve soldiers and officers, in their 30s and 40s”.

Examples of soldiers coping with suicidal thoughts include one who, early on, was involved in an incident of an anti-tank rocket that killed a soldier.

According to the Israeli army, 1,227 (or 1,277) soldiers have committed suicide since 1973, however sources maintain that the number is higher. The annual average has decreased in recent years (from 36 to 13), primarily thanks to more exemptions from service for mental causes.

Levi-Belz also explains that “crises decrease suicide rates”: the very existence of an external crisis, he says, causes one's internal hardships to dissipate, contributes to one's sense of belonging in society. But suicides do rise after the cannons fall silent and the crisis passes.

📝 For suicide from guilt, cf. the very high friendly-fire rate and the Hannibal Directive.

They used Almas ATGMs, traditional AT, B-9 recoilless rifles, and other small weapons.

Some of the attacks in this video took place less than 300 m from the border.

This attack was a real-life simulation on a real Israeli base on how to provide the adequate fire cover for a raid.

The only missing element was the order for forces to raid the Israeli base.
