🇮🇱l🇱🇧 Additional western intelligence confirms that the timing of the operation was because Hezbullah uncovered the fault in the pager recently.

The U.S. officials were told by Israel, that they either had to use this asset, or lose it. "It was a use it or lose it moment," one U.S. official said describing the reasoning Israel gave the U.S. for the timing of the attack

It was a strategic asset meant before a ground invasion or 3rd Lebanon war opening wave, meant to cripple Hezbullah till defeat. It was meant to be the weapon that could tip the balance.

Currently there are 3,000 Lebanese hospitalized, exceeding Lebanon's health care ability.

🇱🇧 Sending help for Lebanon!

- 20 doctors and health workers from Iraq arrived at Beirut airport, in addition to more than 15 tons of Iraqi aid.

- A delegation from the Iranian Red Crescent, including 12 doctors, 12 nurses and paramedics, leaves Tehran for Beirut

No other countries pledged aid, support, or medical help.

🇱🇧l🇮🇷 Iran's ambassador to Lebanon, Mojtaba Amani, was seriously injured in his eyes, according to several reports

A few decades ago, Israel tried to assassinate the Iranian ambassador in Syria, and a man who played a role in supporting the rise of Hezbullah, through a rigged book that exploded in this face. He survived, but suffered severe injuries.

🇮🇱l🇺🇸 Walla Hebrew media contradicts the U.S. lie, and confirms Israel's Gallant informed US's Austin about the attacks beforehand that morning.

📹 Footage of the Israeli airstrike in Blida, yesterday morning, that resulted in several casualties.

📹 The Israeli army released additional footage of their attacks yesterday, including the attack on Majdal Selem that killed 3.

They also took credit for the overnight attacks in Odaiseh, Sheheen, Markaba, and Maroun al-Raa

⭕️ Hezbullah's SG to speak tomorrow at 5 p.m. to discuss the situation in Lebanon.

🤡 The clown show by Israel has started

Israel is preparing for an attack by Hezbullah: alert has been raised in the air defense systems, the air force and the Amman

1- Expect lots of news about preparations
2- Attempts for a "pre-emptive" attack to foil things
3- A lot of war mongering
4- A lot of playing the victim card

🇹🇼l🇱🇧 The Taiwanese company Gold Apollo said that BAC Consulting KFT based in Budapest had a license to use its brand and made the model of pagers used in the detonations in Lebanon yesterday.

🥀 The second civilian casualty in yesterday's criminal attack has been identified as Ataa Mubarak Al-Dirani from the town of Qasr Naba in the Beqaa.

She succumbed to her wounds this morning.

🥀 The third civilian casualty, the second child, is Bilal Kanj from Ghobeiry in Beirut.

📰 Lebanese Ministry of Health:

- Death toll is now higher than yesterday's reported 9
- 200 are in ICU, hundreds faced amputations
- An updated toll at 1 p.m today

✍ The death toll for now can be summarized to:
- 7 or 8 men (rest was in airstrike)
- 2 children
- 1 woman

📷 Sirens in HaGalil HaElyon, Mevo'ot HaHermon councils.

🥀 Al-Rasul Al-A'zam hospital mourns the deaths of its employee, Mohamed Hassan Nourredine who was killed while on shift at the hospital, in the detonation of his pager.

The death of some, with the common weapon used to injure thousands, highlights how bad their injuries are and the legality of the explosion. If someone at shift in a hospital couldn't be saved, imagine those at supermarkets, schools, universities, work, homes, etc...

False alert

False alert

🇱🇧|🇮🇱 The first credible signs of a will to invade south Lebanon

Officially, in the IDF it has been decided: the elite 98th Division will move to the northern arena.

The division was planned to continue fighting in the Gaza Strip, but in the last day it was decided to divert it north, to the Lebanese border.

🇱🇧l🇮🇱 The 36th division is already deployed in the north for some time.

📑 (January 2024) Hezbullah releases a video mocking the exhausted Israeli army and its threats to invade Lebanon.

The video is titled: “Hello and Welcome”

✍ As much as its such a big burden and toll on Lebanese, and with a lot of wishes something happens that could avoid a war or a incursion into Lebanon, the current situation is only heading towards that in a sense that could bring peace.

Its hard to imagine a settlement can be achieved with the status quo, and it seems only a limited battle or war can rebalance this situation and end in a certain settlement and ceasefire that would end the hostilities.

However this is nuts, considering the whole goal is to go back to what was before, yet for Israel, how could it function rationally before more blood sacrifices.

Time will tell how things can unfold, yesterday's crime was unprecedented, Israel chose this act over foiling a plan. Israel chose bloodshed over accepting the loss of efforts.

Inshallah whatever and however things unfold, they unfold to what's best for Lebanon and the righteousness in this existence.

🇮🇷l🇱🇧 The Head of Iran's Red Crescent is present in Beirut, after an Iranian plane landed carrying nurses, doctors, surgeons and emergency workers

Chief of the Red Crescent, Pir-Hossein Kolivand: "The Iranian Red Crescent stands with all its strength by the side of the injured in the terrorist incident in Lebanon."

"With the coordination of the Red Cross and the Ministry of Health of Lebanon and in line with humanitarian aid, we brought rescue teams and eye surgeons to Lebanon so that we can relieve the pain of the injured in this terrorist incident."

"If necessary, we are ready to transfer the critically injured people to Iran for further treatment."
