Reports indicate two Hezbullah members have been captured in south Lebanon in one of the front line towns

Flag was up again, seems to have been removed that day

The mosque my miniature was demolished by the Israeli soldiers

Apartment was rented by the wife of the martyr a few months ago.

Below is a report by Lebanese media:

Target was Mohammad Ali Kourani in the Hazmieh area.

Kourani is the same person Israel had previously tried to assassinate.

Today, he arrived at the apartment about two hours before the assassination attempt, accompanied by his wife and son, and went inside to sleep before the location was targeted.

His wife and son escaped the attack unharmed.

Kourani had survived a similar assassination attempt weeks earlier when the Israeli army targeted the Comfort Hotel where he was staying.

He had left the hotel minutes before the airstrike, which prevented him from being injured.

The latest airstrike on the city of Bint Jbeil targeted the Women’s Husseiniya building in the main market.

Various other Israeli airstrikes targeted:
- A'dcheet
- Henieh and Mansoureh
- Beit leaf and Qawzah

A dozen or so other towns were attacked with artillery, in both the western and Eastern sectors

Hezbullah issued more than 40 statements today detailing reports about suicide drone and rockets launches targeting:

- A set of Israeli settlements
- Israeli border bases in Israel and Lebanon
- Israeli army gathering and areas of advances from Naqoura, Khiyam, Taybeh and other areas

No recent reports about any ATGMs attacks,FPVs nor clashes.

Seems that the photo a few days ago was from the incident where two Hezbullah fighters were captured

They are allegedly from Beqaa, in a vantage point for ATGMs, which should not be directly in the line of fire of ground Israeli forces unless they were very close to the border area trying to reach Israeli settlements

The house was demolished, so it'll likely be geolocated.

May God be with them in this harsh period

Shotguns for FPVs and AKs zeroed by the sniper units in April-2024

According to the Israeli claim, the ATGM cell spotted the force but couldn't target it in time.

Israeli forces likely snuck at night and was able to catch the cell off guard by monitoring their previous activity

حسبي الله و نعم الوكيل، و لا حول و لا قوة الا بالله العلي العظيم

The heroes were in Khiyam towm. Won't share the photos, but they are staged, taken after they were captured.

You can notice their wrists after being tied-up for some time.

Geolocation: 33.329097°, 35.603112° (Khiam)

The Pentagon is considering sending ~3,000 rapid-response paratroopers (82nd Airborne) to support possible U.S. operations in Iran—potentially to seize Kharg Island.

Marines might go first to secure and repair infrastructure, with airborne troops reinforcing later.

❗️ After sonic booms over Beirut and Sidon, airstrikes now in Dahyeh

❗️Hezbullah engaged a column of Israeli tanks pushing from the outskirts of Taybeh town towards Qanatar

A colum of 8 tanks were reportedly damaged according to Hezbullah's statements and one D-9

Another D-9 was attacked with RPGs by a fighter inside the town hitting it.

On Qawzah front, Hezbullah used about half a dozen FPVs on Israeli soldiers and vehicles.

Today marked one of the most intense fighting, with the highest number of FPVs and ATGMs used in this war.

Hezbullah also engaged with MANPADS at least one helicopter, causing helicopters to change their approach.

✍ Posting is not resumed. I only wanted to cover this important development, which if amounted to Israeli soldier deaths will be a very important thing.

There a lot of developments everywhere, including increasing intensity of attacks on Lebanon and more evidence that the U.S will land troops in Iran by next week+

A thread is expected later tonight (already done and scheduled) to cover some things in general.

☠️ An IDF reservist was seriously wounded by Hezbullah rocket fire in southern Lebanon earlier today

This is one of many attacks targeting Israeli army gathering in Lebanese towns. There are definitely other injuries but they only reported the serious one.

Soldiers don't happen to wander alone.

The rocket strike also injured a reserve battalion commander and another reservist soldier

The Israeli push to Qantara is very important and deep but placed in line of fire from the nearby towns that are used in previous ATGM attacks on Taybeh, Khiyam and so on

Israeli vehicles were activated to withdraw some of the damaged vehicles. Intense attacks on nearby towns that overlook Qantara

The attack didn't start from Taybeh which they didn't fuly occupy, but its outskirts and the empty lands in between

Hezbullah's defense of Qantara will be the first clear indicator of how many things will follow considering it is a second line of towns with no prior Israeli activity in it in the past war

Yesterday's Israeli threats to evacuate included al-Qantara town, the highlight of the Israeli push and the surrounding town

Eventually Ghandourieh and Wadi al-Hujjier. A very important Israeli axis and push

🧵Thread about general stuff and ranting

Initially I wanted to discuss the philosophical question of the righteous armed struggle against Israel, but then I decided this is long overdue and futile today. I also considered laying the justification of the correct behavior of the Lebanese resistance from 2006 to 2011-2027 and then in 2023, but then decided that I could not convince whoever is not convinced already. Humanity's most important skill is adaptation, and this includes adapting to accept lies as truth.

How should I explain to someone why Hezbullah's actions in Syria were legitimate and the organization did not go there to kill Syrian children, when Syrian hunting grounds could have been 500 km closer in Beruit's Dahyeh if that were the intention? How do you explain to someone that those ruling Syria today are only as relatively tame as they are now thanks the blows and extreme setbacks they faced as a result of Hezbullah, Iran and their allies' interference? These rebels had sent car bombs and suicide bombers into Lebanese neighborhoods and markets as early as 2013 and set their sights on Beqaa valley as early as 2011-2012. The evidence is clear once bias is set aside. The only mistake I believe Hezbullah has in regards to Syria is not actively influencing the corrupt leadership in Syria, whose mismanagement was the sole reason of the collapse in 2023, despite the tremendous success that won the war in 2018. This corruption led to Hezbullah's demise as a regional power, and ended any hopes for the organization to regain its status or enough power to threaten Israel's north in an existential battle. This loss not only weakened Hezbullah, it ensured Hezbullah will be oppressed and isolated in Lebanon as evidently recorded today, with the actions of the Lebanese government.

I discussed Syria before, as well as the previous wars, especially 2023-2024. Please read them, they have answers and information that is worth knowing. I could write a book detailing that all, but I neither have the time nor the will to do so. The Shia of Lebanon are losing a lot by failing to write enough books to document their era from scholarship to resistance. This will come back to bite us in the future decades.

What I want to discuss today, as the war in south Lebanon has reached a critical point with the Israeli army almost passing the first line of border villages, is: What is next? Why did this war start now? Did Hezbullah make a mistake? What will Israel do, and what can it achieve?

My stance about the might of the Israeli army is clear to all: I do believe they have reached, in the past 2 decades, a state where they've perfected their means of defense and offense with the support of a U.S. umbrella to a large extent, and an Arab umbrella to a lesser extent. This allowed them to navigate challenges with much more ease than before, because the costs endured never hit the thresholds that would force them stop or lose a war. At the end of the day, a war can continue until you lose the means for it. Those means are ammunition or will to fight. For decades, all armed resistance factions fought Israel on the basis that they can defeat it by winning battles and outlasting the IDF. This is evident in both the rhetoric and how they classified battles since the 1960's. Israel lost its wars because it lost the will to fight, either because of its sensitivity to human losses or because of internal or foreign pressure that devastated morale or ability to go further. Otherwise? Israel had the soldiers, tanks, and bullets to go even further, and fight until they not only reached Beirut but reached Tripoli. For us, for them, for anyone, a loss in the will to fight is a defeat with no objections. The only caveat is that any defeat that is not accompanied by extensive material losses allows the military to regenerate stronger, finding problems and building the tools required to solve them.

All armies do so, and all militias do so as well, however, there is a stark difference between what Israel had to do after the 2006 and 2008 wars, and rebuilding from scratch like what Hezbullah was forced to do after the 2024 war. When Hezbullah loses Syria for manufacturing or smuggling weapons from Iran, has no factories active in Beqaa, has no funds to actively recruit, has no access to rebuild its infrastructure in the border towns, especially strategic towns like Khiyam and so on, they will be at a disadvantage when war resumes with Israel, who had constant streams of funds, no interruption in training camps or factories, and did not suffer material losses that could hinder its ground offensive capabilities. Israel's losses and Hezbullah's losses are not comparable; never will be. This is the state of asymmetric warfare between a resistance and a state built around an army being supported by the strongest empire in history: The U.S.A.

What I'm explaining here is that the material means between Hezbullah and Israel are never on par, and great sacrifices are expected from Hezbullah in any such war. Today's disadvantages are not far from those that existed in 2006, 2000, 1996, 1993, and so on. This imbalance in power is there, and only sabotaging the Israeli will to fight is how Hezbullah can win this war. The Israeli population grew less sensitive to casualties after 7-October and tolerated 400 more soldier deaths in Gaza during the war there. These 400 were an acceptable loss to kill 50,000 Muslim Arabs and erase Gaza, rendering it a wasteland with no ability to threaten Israel ever again. On the same page, the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 2023 costed Israel less than 100 soldier to kill more than 4,000 Lebanese including thousands of Hezbullah fighers and Hezbullah's historic and legendary leadership. So today, how can this Israeli will be defeated if soldier deaths are not enough to put pressure on the Israeli leadership to stop a war? Especially with the new doctrine I talked about in the attached thread: To remove a threat from existence, not to keep a threat under control anymore.

The key to win here is the defeat of the morale of the Israel army, and this will only happen once Hezbullah is able to kill Israeli soldiers more effectively, and make Israeli units bleed. What is the difference here? When you kill a whole unit, when you actually destroy a tank and have soldiers see tankers burning to death, when you have an infantry unit hollowed with Sejjil's 3500 balls or or or, then and only then will those units lose their cockiness and understand: this war is not a stroll where I enter a town, I get shelled at, I kill, I demolition a house, sing, and then go back safely to my base. Lethality is the only key to defeating the Israel army in real battles, where a war objective becomes too costly to be worth it. This point should be very clear, no need to elaborate further. Me or anyone talking about FPVs as if it were the holy grail is only because we naively or possibly truly believe it is the key that will deliver lethality and success on par with what we saw in Ukraine. The success in killing soldiers and destroying Humvees, or hitting a dozen Israel soldiers, who were carrying 10 gallons of explosives meant rig a house, and instead evaporating them with FPVs, would be the cold water on a sunny day in a hot desert. FPVs can navigate, hunt, offer a solution, and be a problem that the IDF does not have a solution for. Easy to make, easy to use, and their raw materials are abundant.

Now about this war, let me be very clear: I believe Hezbullah will win, not because I have my life bet on such a win, but because I believe Hezbullah has a will that will outlast that of the Israel army and the Shia will not accept humiliation. Sayyed Hassan's blood will not be in vain and at the end of the day, the God of Islam, will avenge such blood spilled. If Nasrallah's blood is not avenged, what worth is there to live in this world anymore??

We will win, but God help all those who lost their homes, as both the Lebanese government and others will not be there to help. The rich Shia around the world have to take the initiative to rebuild and compensate.

In a brief about the ongoing Israel war, Hezbullah's actions on 1-2 March are a great gamble. They have bet that the Israeli entanglement with Iran will inflict enough losses that they'll ensure a war with Lebanon will be fought with a distracted army, whose full resources are not directed at Beirut and the south Litani area. This is true, and Hezbullah's other rationale is that the conditions are just optimal enough because if Israel finishes with Iran with a clear win, the next target is the isolated and weak Hezbullah in Lebanon where the government just initiated a plan to disarm the north Litani area. This was a very critical crossroad. Another rationale is that starting the war will ensure that the IDF does not take Hezbullah by surprise a second time, killing the leadership and then putting Hezbullah as a whole under existential threat yet again. This was an achievement in and of itself because 3 weeks into this war, and Hezbullah, under the leadership of Sheikh Naim, was able to ensure that no leadership commander was assassinated. Hezbullah was not only able to deal strikes to Israel, but was able to achieve what it promised Nasrallah before 2023: That no day shall pass with less attacks and engagements than the day before it. I am in no position to assess if Hezbullah was able to gather the means to effectively confront Israel in the 15 months prior, but Sheikh Naim sounds confident and I trust him. We only hope those means are coupled with the necessary innovations to tip the balance in their favor.

On the other hand, I would like to clarify that Hezbullah was honest in disarming south Litani area. The government's failure in stopping Israeli attacks by actually implementing the ceasefire agreement is what led Hezbullah to rebuild a force just capable enough to defend in that area, although not one on par with 2023 and before. The ceasefire agreement failed from day one, when Israel violated the only term that was stipulated with a clear timeline: A full withdrawal within 60 days. No, they took 5 bases in Lebanon, then killed 50 civilians entering their towns after those 60 days, all whilst continuing to demolish more civilian houses to ensure there are no villages left to go to, and depopulated the first line of towns.

Those bases could have stayed for years and Hezbullah would not have been forced to act to rebuild had Israel not violated the other clear terms of the agreement by attacking daily south of Litani and murdering both Hezbullah members in civilian life and their families. People burned alive on daily basis on the road. Everyone lived in agony and was wondering if they will die by mistake on the road. It only got more aggravated when Israel attacked towns and then leveled several buildings in Beirut and carried out assassinations. The situation was unbearable and the both the Lebanese army and government did nothing. More than 500 Lebanese were killed, burning to death in agonizing pain. How can we forget the man from Shoaib family who was so tired running from a drone he said: "Ma3ash feyeh ya 5ayeh t3ebet"? Or the kids who saw their father drone striked just after he left their house? Well fuck you and fuck your peace if these families will suffer daily for it.

This war is painful and the Israeli army will punish us using any means it has, however, it is a must because of the humiliation the Israeli army caused to the community as a whole with their failure to adhere to the ceasefire agreement. The lack of peace we've lived in for 15 months, enough to sabotage everything in life including business, was simply unbearable. We were living in hell daily, unable to breath, getting killed while both Israel and the remaining areas in Lebanon enjoyed calm.

No, this is not because of Hezbullah's actions in 2023; that war ended with a clear ceasefire agreement, which Israel violated as acknowledged by US, France, UN and even Lebanon's Aoun and Nawaf. Yet no one did anything.

Think about this war as not a war of choice, but as one forced on us. If our will surpasses that of Israel's, we secure stability again. If we fail, we reach the same outcome we would have even had this war not taken place. However, the sacrifices will be great.

Back to my point, the Israeli actions in south Lebanon of demolishing border towns was intended to ensure Hezbullah can no longer come back to these towns. After all, Hezbullah in south Lebanon simply consists of village locals which, during war, are supplemented by 1-2 groups of Ridwan forces. That is it. Some towns barely have 24 defenders including Hezbullah's Ridwan--that may or may not be able to arrive on time. These border towns barely had any locals for 15 months and rarely any Hezbullah members, let alone small arms. Therefore, the moment this war started, any Israeli advance from Naqoura to Aita, in Khiyam and Taybeh, was not only expected, but one would be foolish to assume was not destined. These towns are by all means considered not only a military burden, they are practically undefendable. This is why Hezbullah had arranged a limited number of fighters to be available on the front lines, with most engagements occurring from a distance. This strategy is the most suitable for what is possible, yet ensures that the advance will be as slow as possible.

Slowing the advance as much as 3 weeks for few towns that were demolished and bombed for 2 years is great work. I'm not saying they are not critical losses--they are. But these towns were softened even before the invasion of 2024, so imagine today. Leabnese towns are also separated by large fields, which makes sending reinforcements very hard, and this is why the Israeli army can move fast enough in some lands, and why the areas under its control will appear bigger. However, it's mostly no man's land. The IDF has D-9s, tanks, vehicles, helicopters, and jets. The bare minimum is that they reach 20 km with ease after such bombing efforts on these towns, with valleys that do not have a single trench or defense line that you may commonly see anywhere else. This is the nature of war in South Lebanon.

The battle should intensify when Israel tries to go to bigger towns such as Bint Jbeil. However like Khiyam, it might also fall. The battle today is to make each attempt costly and thus foil the next objective. Litani river is a rock's throw away from the Galilee tip but 10s of kilometers away from the western sector. How the IDF drives this war does not matter, and the Litani river is within reach, although a small negligible part of it. I doubt the IDF will reach the Litani in the full sense. They wont fight in major cities like Nabatiyeh and Tyre. They will at most, for now, try to reach the second line of villages and attempt to achieve a secure 5-7 km buffer zone.

To win this war, Hezbullah has to make the IDF pay dearly for every town they attack and take, and ensure no presence in any town is secure enough. Israeli demolitions are the single most important point of failure for them, as each demolition is a chance to kill a dozen soldiers. With just enough hits, Hezbullah can strike enough fear to change the tide of this war.

For now, Hezbullah's efforts showcase they were able to restore critical C3 abilities (command, control, and communication). They are effectively coordinating the war effort to lead the defense of the towns with the available resources, noting an abundance of ATGMs, and FPVs oddly only on the Qawzah front (why only there bro). They also showcased good disbursement of ammo caches, as we did not record a single Israeli attack with secondary explosions in any house they attacked so far, contrary to what we witnessed in 2023 and 2024 and even 2025. Hezbullah is able to fire more rockets more often that before, and has so far fired 3500 (including drones) etc etc.
