โ—๏ธ U.S. aid in Israel's genocide in Gaza and Lebanon is far greater than anyone imaged

The Biden administration has provided Israel with some $17.9 billion in military aid since the Oct. 7 last year and spent at least another $4.86 billion on its fight against Yemenโ€™s Houthis.

The new report from Brown University does not include US efforts last week to help Israel shoot down some of the 200 missiles launched by Iran.
Estimates suggest that cost the US north of $100 million.

And additional US troop and asset deployments last week were also not included

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑl๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ Unlike aid to Ukraine, which is disclosed in great detail, the weapons to Israel have not been fully publicized by the Biden administration.

However, the $14.1 billion package signed off by Biden in April including the following

The US-led campaign to fight Yemenโ€™s Houthis, which the Biden administration removed from the terror blacklist before adding them back again, is estimated to have cost taxpayers nearly $4.86 billion.

Another $2 billion may be needed over the next few months, per the new report.

SMArikat: US-tax payers have given Israel almost $23 billion in the last year, you have no leverage?

Miller: Theyโ€™re a sovereign country

Said: That received $22 billion

Miller: That number isnโ€™t correct

Lee: What is correct number

Miller: The reason itโ€™s hard to answer that question

Lee: That you donโ€™t want to, thatโ€™s why

๐Ÿ“ A reminder to Muslim Americans who vote in US elections,

Your vote to any politician that rules in laws other than Islam, or to politicians who have spilled Muslim blood, makes you complicit in the crimes on judgement day.

The "lesser evil Kamalla" has killed thousands as part of the Biden administration in the past few months in Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, and Yemen

Trump will only ever serve Israel more and be a loyal slave to it.

Elections are ๐Ÿ”œ

There is a hadith that goes, that some get shocked on judgement day when presented a cup of blood of those they killed.

The Muslim man/woman says, but God I have never killed. God would answer that 'this is your share of blood in the murder of X person, who your words/actions contributed in.'

So beware. There is no correct choice in the US.

โญ•๏ธ Hezbullah launched some 180 rockets from Lebanon at northern Israel today

At least a 100 were fired towards Haifa, the most in one day towards that area

At least 3,000 rockets have been fired in just 9 days, since the invasion started, rate much higher than the previous months where Hezbullah fired about

Daily rate of fire has been constant between 100 and 200, close to the 2006 war one.

This is in light of the Israeli attacks on Hezbullah's rocket unit leaders, rocket launchers, ammo depos, and countless sabotages

In 12 months, between 8-Oct-23 and 30-Sep-24 Hezbullah fired about 12,400 rockets in total

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑl๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ง Hezbullah issued today two importantly statements that indicated how the Israeli army is now in Maroun al-Ras and in the outskirts of Blida
โ—๏ธAfter two days of attempts to reach Blida village, the Israeli army reached its outskirts and has been ambushed by Hezbullah.

In a statement, Hezbullah stated they detonated and IED then clashed with an Israeli force, causing confirmed "hits"

They do not mention that the force was repelled.

โœ Still unclear why they aren't using ATGMs or AT weapons against the Israeli forces. Maybe because of the path of advancing and so on.

๐Ÿ—ž Shalom, I'm finally back. Won't be able to re-do all updatessince before yesterday and for the sake of my sanity won't redo today either.

Below are just brief points:

- The Israeli army released barely any new footage of new weapons or infrastructure in south Lebanon

- The Israeli army continues to suffer dozens of injuries, now almost reaching 200 despite the limited ground attack

- There is confirmed news of possible Israeli retreat from sector A, the Odaiseh Kfarkila one and the regrouping inside Israel to prepare for another combat

This both indicates the extra efforts done to avoid casualties and the nature of the raids. Clahses were barely reported there and the Israeli army rarely ever released data or footages

- The Israeli army announced one death today, and several injuries. All reserves who fought in Gaza

- Hezbullah continues to clash with Israeli forces who are attempting to reach Blida and Mays al-Jabal.

- Hezbullah attacked today a Merkava tank and disabled it, then engaged the Israeli army forces working to retrieve it

- Hezbullah continues to fire a steady number of rockets, and showcase a good C2 despite all events

- Hezbullah's fighters currently deployed in the border villages are quite few, barely a couple dozen and they are engaging full Israeli divisions under the harshest conditions ever

- About 3 Syrian spies have been arressted in Beirut working for the Mossad, helping them target buildings, photograph, and check on casualties

- The Lebanese army took control of the airport at U.S. orders, after a visit by the U.S. military attache at the embassy in Beirut. He inspected the airport

- The Israeli army cut many main roads in Lebanon, especially those that connect to Syria

- Many civilian casualties in attacks, especially those in Beqaa valley, very far from the frontline.

- The Lebanese Ministry of Health reported yesterday the lowest death toll in weeks, however as all reports, it doesn't cover the martyrs who fall in the villages were clashes are ongoing

- Yesterday Israel attacked a church in Lebanon, killing 5 paramedics/firefighters, from the national civil defense, including the regional head of the civil defense in Derghaia

- Hezbullah suffered many casualties in Israel airstrikes, several are bothers and siblings, in attacks in the depth of south Lebanon

- Israeli forces attacked the UN several times, injuring at least two recently.

(Probably forgot lots, but that's good enough for now, rest of updated for today soon)

๐Ÿ“น Yesterday, the Israeli army unofficially released footage of their demolishing of a Lebanese army watchtower just few meters from the UN base in Al-Naqoura

They falsely claimed it was for Hezbullah. They also used a civilian bulldozer to destroy it

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ณ In the same area, the Israeli army attacked the UN and used them as human shields. They stated the below in a statement:

- UNIFILโ€™s Naqoura headquarters and nearby positions have been repeatedly hit [from Israel].

- This morning, two peacekeepers were injured after an IDF Merkava tank fired its weapon toward an observation tower at UNIFILโ€™s headquarters

- IDF soldiers also fired on UN position (UNP) 1-31 in Labbouneh, hitting the entrance to the bunker where peacekeepers were sheltering

- An IDF drone was observed flying inside the UN position up to the bunker entrance.

- Yesterday, IDF soldiers deliberately fired at and disabled the positionโ€™s perimeter-monitoring cameras. They also deliberately fired on UNP 1-32A in Ras Naqoura

๐Ÿ“ธ In the gallery where the Israeli army presented some of that weapons they found in south Lebanon, is a quite rare and clearly ancient claymore manufactured before 1979 in Iran.

It has the crown of the Shah, which was yeeted after the blessed revolution in 1979. Such claymores aren't usually in use and not even spotted by Hezbullah in Syria. They use the newly manufactured ones in Iran nor local ones.

One probably slipped at some storage facility and never used.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑl๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ง The retreat which I reported was in sector A, by the 98th division. Reasons are not clear.

As for the 36th and 91st, continue to maintain some control in the open lands facing Blida and Mays al-Jabal. There is a big attempt to push to reach Mays.

As for Yaroun and Maroun al-Ras, situation is unclear.

146th is still trying to operate in the frosts of Naqaoura and reach Laboneh. They suffered today casualties and are still under fire.

๐Ÿ“ธ This morning, the Israeli army attempted to reach Ras al-Naqoura through al-Mshairfeh area but was attacked by Hezbullah.

According to confirmed reports, at least two vehicles have been hit and immobilized, and this is the incident reported in 3 of Hezbullah's statements.

So far, they announced attacking the Israeli soldiers twice after thei attempt yo rescue these vehicles. Israeli media close to the IDF hasn't reported on this yet.

According to Al-Manar, the attempt to advance was by a column of tanks and vehicles, which were targeted with appropriate missile weapons and confirmed hits were achieved

The targeted force consisted of 5 tanks and infantry soldiers. This photo reportedly shows, a vehicle on fire. Merkava tanks need a lot of firepower to reach this state
