⭕️ So far today, Hezbullah took credit for 5 attacks on the Israeli enemy

- Attack on a soldiers' staging zone in an open area near Al-Duhayra base with artillery

- Attack on Samaqa base in Kafarshouba hills with rockets

- Attack on Bayad Blida base with artillery

- Attack on Al-Marj base with rockets

🇮🇱 The Israeli response time was higher than usual, as they are on high alert and on standby.

In the attack on Duhayra base, the launch site was directly engaged with an airstrike.

For another attack, an Israeli drone strike targeted the operative who launched the attack after being spotted.

📸 Impacts in open areas in the Golan Heights. No alerts expected.

📸 The Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant met with his British counterpart, UK Secretary of State for Defence John Healey today.

The meeting can be summed into one stance and one demand:

🇮🇱 Israel's demand: Please help us defend ourselves against Iran and Hezbullah

🇬🇧 UK's stance: As a loyal goyim, we will do anything to help defend you. You do anything, and we will protect you from the consequences.

📸 The resistance in Gaza fired a rocket successful towards Kiryat Malachi, 65km from southern Gaza.

The attack is likely a response to the Israeli criminal assassination of Ismail Hanieh in Tehran, Iran.

⭕️ Oh glory, a poem for Sayyed Mehsin

🇮🇱/🇱🇧/🇮🇷 IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi says Israel is "willing to go far" to strike those who harm Israel

He says that "those who attack the citizens of Israel, those who attack the State of Israel, we are ready to go far, we know how to make great efforts to bring very accurate intelligence, to attack, kill, and also take risks."

Halevi says to troops during a visit to the Gaza Strip last night. He adds that:

"We attacked in Beirut and we are attacking in Gaza, and we will be very strong in defense, and then we will also attack very strongly,"

🇮🇱 At Ben Gvir's orders, the imam of Al-Aqsa mosque was arrested for mourning Ismail Hanieh on the loudspeaker at the compound.

🇮🇱/🇬🇧 After the British and Israeli ministers of defense met, the IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi met with his British counterpart, Chief of the Defence Staff Adm. Sir Antony David Radakin earlier today.

The IDF says the pair "held a situational assessment in which they discussed strategic security issues and cooperation in the region."

The whole western nations, the strongest militaries in the world, are all scrambling to help Israel and save it from the consequences of its own crimes.

As Sayed Nasrallah quoted from the Quran, laugh a little and then cry a lot.

🇮🇱/🇺🇸 U.S. Defense Secretary Austin and Israeli Defense Minister Gallant held their Second Phone Call in 72 Hours earlier today.

The calls discussed the "unprecedented Security Cooperation” between the United States and Israel and the need to counter the regional threats.

🇮🇱/🇱🇧/🇮🇷/🇺🇸 US, Israel prepare to face multifront attack as Iran & Lebanon vow revenge

The US Navy has assembled more than a dozen warships across the region’s waterways, including the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt, currently in the Gulf of Oman, and the USS Wasp amphibious ready group with 4,000 embarked sailors and Marines, currently in the eastern Mediterranean.

The Biden administration has pledged to defend Israel should it come under attack. Pentagon officials say the array of warships, fighter aircraft and air defenses across the region are ready.

Three other officials, two Israeli and one American, told Al-Monitor that the Israeli government notified the Biden administration ahead of the strike on Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr in south Beirut on Tuesday.

But high-ranking US military officials in the Middle East were caught off guard by the assassination of Haniyeh. Top US diplomat Antony Blinken said the United States had no foreknowledge or involvement in the assassination.

🇮🇱/🇱🇧 Two pre-emptive Israeli attacks reported in Housh Al-Sayyed Ali town in northern Lebanon near the Syrian border.

📸 Three airstrikes took place, unclear if same location or several on the Lebanese Syrian border.

Two Syrian air defense missiles were fired toward the incoming missiles/jets.

🇮🇱/🇱🇧 President Biden privately demanded in a "tough" call Thursday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stop escalating tensions in the region and move immediately toward a Gaza hostage and ceasefire deal, two U.S. officials told Axios.

Why it matters: Biden and his top aides are deeply frustrated by the fallout from Israel's assassinations in Beirut and Tehran, which took place less than a week after Netanyahu's first visit to the Oval Office in four years.

Biden also warned Netanyahu that if he escalates again, he shouldn't count on the U.S. to bail him out, the U.S. official added.

🇺🇸 The Pentagon is shifting a TON of assets and firepower to defend Israel

U.S. Secretary Austin has ordered adjustments to U.S. military posture designed to improve U.S. force protection, to increase support for the defense of Israel, and to ensure the United States is prepared to respond to various contingencies.

- To maintain a carrier strike group presence in the Middle East, the Secretary has ordered the USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN Carrier Strike Group to replace the USS THEODORE ROOSEVELT Carrier Strike Group, currently on deployment in the Central Command area of responsibility.

- Additionally, Secretary Austin has ordered additional ballistic missile defense-capable cruisers and destroyers to the U.S. European Command and U.S. Central Command regions.

- The Department is also taking steps to increase our readiness to deploy additional land-based ballistic missile defense.

- The Secretary has also ordered the deployment of an additional fighter squadron to the Middle East, reinforcing our defensive air support capability.

- These posture adjustments add to the broad range of capabilities the U.S. military maintains in the region, including the USS WASP Amphibious Ready Group / Marine Expeditionary Unit (ARG/MEU) operating in the Eastern Mediterranean. 

✍ The longer Iran and Hezbullah take to act, the more assets will available to help defend Israel. Time is ticking.

✍ Just a few points:

- Hezbullah wants and aims to kill some Israeli officers. That's the chance they are looking for but know that even if they have the ability and reach, they don't have the enough speed.

- Iran and Hezbullah are aiming to cause material and human losses, and unlike April 2024, ensure there is loss in Israel. They understand well dettering won't happen when Israel is not being affected.

- Iran and Hezbullah know the task isn't easy at all, and they are still hoping to avoid a regional war

- The US is preparing to help Israel. The news about this clear. Without the US, Israel is in bad shape.

The issue for them is, US can help when they know beforehand. What would happen if a sudden pre-emptive attack happens in the future

- There is a lot of warmongering. Mostly social media children. Hezbullah and IRGC are rather dead silent. No statement or teasers or any BS.

- Attacking airports won't be fruitful. Bases, juicy but which? I'm inclined to hope they targeted the northern command in Safad.

Destroy that HQ, even achieving that, is success beyond success. It's a mistake to attack the Kiryah in Tel Aviv, I think they will abstain.

Bla BLA BLA. Shut up admin. Anyways I'll only cover useful news. Exactly how I abstained today from "airport hacked, trips canceled, few hours and get ready etc etc."

I was right about last time.

And I would like to think they will attack tomorrow maybe. It's Saturday innit.

And Hanieh's last words were to make August 3 a day of remembrance and support for Gaza. Symbolically good timing.

✍ One last thing before I leave for tonight.

Hezbullah isn't going to support Iran like in April by firing a few rockets to engage AD.

Hezbullah will be a corner stone to whatever the attack will be. Sayyed Mehsin is literally Hezbullah's most high ranking official and its official chief of staff. He's a founding father and the man who made Hezbullah what it is.

He's Imad Moghnieh and Mustafa Badreddine! He is as described, Hezbullah's heart.

📸 This morning, an Israeli targeted assassination took place in Wadi Jelo near Al-Bazourieh area in south Lebanon.
