🇱🇧 🇮🇱 Nothing groundbreaking regarding the fighting in Lebanon

No new strikes on Beirut since last week’s agreement, the ground campaign in Southern Lebanon remains intense and Bint Jbeil will likely fall sooner than later. Captured territory will be used as bargaining chips in negotiations

Manpower losses on Hezbollah’s side have been catastrophic to put it lightly, too many death notices for me to count but its in the hundreds since last Sunday alone, and those are the one who their relatives could find out about. In contrast the IDF said a bit over 500 of its personnel have been wounded in Southern Lebanon and a dozen killed since fighting restarted, most recently Daniel Ella, commander of the 52nd Battalion of the 401st Brigade, who was seriously wounded in Bint Jbeil alongside 9 other soldiers

The Lebanese and Israeli governments have held direct 1 on 1 high level negotiations in Washington yesterday, the first of its kind since 1983, I will let this statement from the Israeli ambassador do the talking:

"I was honored to sit around the negotiating table with His Excellency Michel Issa, United States Ambassador to Lebanon and with Her Excellency Nada Hamadi, the Lebanese Ambassador to Washington.

We discovered today that we're on the same side of the equation.

That's the most positive thing we could have come away with."

Keep in mind none of this really matters much if whatever they agree on cannot be applied on the ground by either side
