๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ Drama in Israel, Netanyahu attacks the IDF for claiming the war goals are to return the hostages exclusively

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office, in a statement, slams IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari for saying in a press conference tonight that the military is focusing on returning the hostages.

"The choice of the IDF spokesman to mention in his statement this evening only one war goal -- while ignoring the rest of the war goals -- is in complete contradiction to the directives of the political echelon," the statement says.

"The goals of the war were and remain: the return of our hostages, the destruction of the military and governmental capabilities of Hamas, the promise that Gaza will no longer be a threat to Israel, and the safe return of the residents of the north to their homes," the statement continues.

Hagari in his press conference had said that "We continue to be committed to one central war goal, recovering the 109 hostages, and we will continue to act with all efforts in order to realize it."

โœ Palestinian comments these 24 hours, went from supportive to aggressive and very insulting on various social media platforms.

It's like dealing with someone so emotional, he/she is irrational.

Dears, calm down. Feel betrayed? Sad. Leave social media and act in real life and not bitch about how others didn't do enough for you. Wars aren't won by emotions, and we in Lebanon are bleeding both lives and money in this support front for how righteous it is to offer it, knowing well it has little fruits for Lebanon as it stands today.

๐Ÿ“„ An article by the New York Times confirms implicitly that Israel didn't have intelligence on when Hezbullah will attack, but rather the detection of movement at a large scale in south Lebanon is what collaborated with a possible large scale attack and its when jets were ordered to attack pre-emptively.

However what bugs me, is that Israel knew what the target will be, they just didn't know when and from where (which launch sites). Did they know beforehand, or did they discover it basing it on the trajectory of drones? Unlikely because I read about the targets just as Hezbullah started with the attack.

The article says that once the visual surveillance detected clear movement of missiles, the officials said, the Israeli military recommended the strike on launchers, weapons stockpiles and other targets in Lebanon.

Interestingly, a U.S. official said American drones and aircraft provided some of the surveillance imagery used to target Hezbollah launchers.

This is important to note, and something also mentioned by Hezbullah's SG, that it happened. Notably, yes Israel was successful in destroying some launchers, which means those locations were expoxed. So even though Hezbullah didn't intend to use them in yesterday, they would have in the future, and they would have lost lives using them.

Exposing launchers likely happened thanks to U.S. satellites with remarkable visual quality, and SAR radars that can see under layers. Fighting Israel is definitely a challenge, fighting Israel with the U.S. on its side helping with intelligence and supplies, is even much harder. People underestimate how hard it is to navigate such a challenge, people underestimate the might of western armies.

๐Ÿ“น Just earlier, an Israeli drone strike targeted a car in Hlaliyeh, โ€‹โ€‹Sidon, in a thankfully failed assassination attempt.

The target, rumored to be a member of Hamas, either exited the vehicle just before the strike or was not inside to begin with.
