Hezbollah sources claim that they ambushed a group of Israeli special forces who were trying to enter Lebanon and killed almost all of them.
The event happened last week, the information was posted the next day, but I could not verify it. Yesterday, an Israeli "expert" accidentally admitted on love TV that they lost 18 soldiers in northern Israel last week, something that he immediately changed to "injured".
Israel is trying hard to limit the information about their casualties in Lebanon and northern front and they have stepped up their bombings and incursions by special forces in the past few days.
The attacks against Gaza havd also increased to a level we haven't seen in the past few weeks with IDF preparing an all out invasion of #Rafah.
Tulkaram and other parts of occupied West Bank also been targets of unprecedented destruction and attacks by IDF.
The veto of #Biden at the #UN has emboldened Israel who has since bombed #Lebanon, #Syria and #Iraq, not to forget their attacks against #Iran. All with American provided bombs and fighter jets.

#DoubleTap attack. Understanding one of Russia’s cruelest tactics in Ukraine
Hitting a building, waiting for first responders and the media to arrive, and hitting the same place again to target those who came to put out the fire, help the victims, or document a potential war crime is a well-honed tool of Russia in its wars.
This ruthless and illegal military tactic is called a "double-tap" attack.
Having used #Syria as a "testing ground" since 2015, Russia started #terrorizing Ukraine with "double-tap" attacks following the full-scale invasion. Those attacks have grown more frequent in recent weeks.
#Israel shoots down #missiles and #drones after #Iran launches unprecedented #attack

Iran had vowed to retaliate after an #airstrike on an Iranian #consulate in #Syria earlier this month killed seven Iranian #military officials. It is the first time that Iran has launched an attack on Israel from Iranian soil, Israeli officials said.
Debris from Iranian ballistic missiles found in Damascus and northern Iraq.
According to preliminary estimates, Iran fired up to 185 kamikaze drones, 36 cruise missiles and 110 surface-to-surface missiles at Israel. There were at least 13 video-documented strikes, including 5 cruise missiles and 5 to 7 ballistic missiles. This would result in an interception rate of approx. 96%.

Iran's IRGC General Bagheri, the Iranian Chief of the General Staff: From our point of view, the operation is over, but the armed forces are on standby and we will intervene if necessary. If the Zionist regime responds, our next operation will be much larger.
Iron Dome was unable to make any significant contribution to our operations.
Through the Swiss embassy we sent the message to the Americans that their bases will not be safe if they cooperate with Israel in their possible next actions and that we will then deal with them too.

Video shows the moment when IRGC Navy Helicopter landing on the Israeli-owned ship “MSC ARIES” in the Strait of Hormuz.
The vessel has been redirected into Iranian port of Bandar Abbas.
this is not the retaliation against Israel, but a signal that Israel declaration of war against Iran by destroying it's consulate in Damascus will mean no Israeli ship or israeli-linked ship will be allowed to pass the Strait of Hormoz,
Hebrew Media trying to get the Americans involved by saying: 'The Iranians with this action have sent a clear message to the US; if you intervene on behalf of Israel, we will close the Persian Gulf just like the Red Sea'

Antiwar movement in US wasn't about Americans foreign policy or caring for millions of dead vietnamese. It was ONLY about Americans dying abroad.
People act like the antiwar movement in the 70s was a progressive and anti imperialist movement.
But only a small fraction of the movement were truly antiwar and against criminal actions of the US.
Just like the Antiwar movement during and after Iraq invasion that almost completely died when Obama became president, the Antiwar actions were all part of the ridiculous, stupid and disgusting 2 party politics of the country and those who were loud under Bush and Trump, turned into war mongering supporters of Obama and Biden policies.
It's really sad to see people not having any moral grounds and their compass changes after who the freaking president is.
I'm sorry I'm ranting, but I just so disgusted by silence and compliance of the majority of the liberal and "centrists" people in almost all western countries.
Statement by Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian on X
Seriously, what would they have done if their consulate was bombed and their staff were murdered by say Iraqi resistance or Yemeni rebels?
Would they have the same kind of understanding?
What did US do when e of it's occupying soldiers were killed when they were in syria? Did they refrain from retaliation?
Fuck Abdollahian and IRI, but these people are out of their minds trying to protect the terrorist regime of Israel.
#Israel #Iran #Germany #Australia #UK #US #Syria #Iraq #Yemen
This is so surreal: US asks #China to tell #Russia to ask #Iran not to retaliate against #Israel!
When Iraqi/Syrian resistance attacked the illegal occupation forces of US in Syria and killed 3 of the occupation forces, #US retaliated by attacking 28 sites of various groups, completely unrelated to that attack and blamed Iran for the attacks and sent warning to #Iran to stop harassing Americans in occupied #Syria, 7000 miles away from American borders.
Almost 2 weeks ago, Israel bombs, destroyed and in the prices killed 7 members of Iranian revolutionary guards inside Iranian consulate in Damascus.
The US, UK, France, Canada and other moral guardians of law and order, not only did not condemn the attack, but now trying to create a protective umbrella around the genocidal regime of Israel and the media is playing along with the usual words we have heard so many times before "Israel has the right to defend itself".
I despise the regime of Iran and any member of #IRGC, they are the reason I left my country almost 40 years ago and been fighting to expose their crimes against the people of Iran ever since. But that does not mean I accept the criminal actions of state of Israel against the Iranian consulate or the sites of IRGC who are helping Syria fight ISIS and the plan of #Obama/ #Clinton to turn Syria into another #Libya in the evil quest to crush EU's economy and destroy all secular regimes in the Arab world.
I hate myself for defending them, I hate myself trying to condemn their death, I would have loved to see every single one of them rot in jail for what they had done to my country, but sadly, they were killed by an even bigger evil, the one who wants to dominate the region, if not the world and will do what ever it pleases, without the fear of being held accountable and for some reason, the entire "civilized" world standing beside it and supporting it.
I don't know what will come out of this current escalation of the conflict, I don't know if IRI will attack Israel directly or not, and I don't know if Israel will ever dare to retaliate by bombing different facilities deep inside Iran.
But one thing I know for sure, The feeling of despair and helplessness I felt in the summer of 94, when I spent my entire vacation and almost all my savings on phone and fax and travel to get the Swedish and European politicians to react and to stop the ongoing genocide in #Rwanda , the joy I felt when I heard #France had send troops to Rwanda and thought that they could be a force of good, something that others would follow, then later realize that the French did not go in to stop the Genocide, but to take those who were responsible for it to safety and away from the advancing rebels. That feeling of betrayal and helplessness is nothing like what I am feeling right now.
Back in 94, we had very limited internet access, BBS and some low speed text based web site and some low quality images wer al we had, and it wasn't until a group of reporters from CNN finally entered Zaire and showed the misery of millions of fleeing Rwandans and the testimonies of some of the victims plus some horrifying videos of the reporters who managed to smuggle the tapes out and show the world what was happening there, that the 3 major powers, US, UK and France who were strongly objecting a UN action there, finally gave up to the public pressure and changed the history and made themselves look like the saviors of the people of Rwanda and those who finally ended the ongoing Genocide there. And I went back to work, tired, angry and broken and decided to stop caring and focus on my life for a while because the evil among those in power was way too overwhelming for a man who had no power or will left to fight any more.
The Gaza catastrophe is different, unlike Rwanda, we have been able to see it live, every day, every minute and every second what is going on. We have seen tanks blow up unarmed civilians, we have seen apartment complexes full of innocent people blown up to dust right in front of our eyes, we have seen toddlers covered with the blood of their parents cry and some of them die right while we watch them on our TikTok, YouTube and Telegram posts.But just like Rwanda, no one cares, and unlike Rwanda, people actually punishing those who care, putting them in prison, firing them from their jobs, cutting their livelihood and calling them supporters of terrorism because they just don't want to see innocent children die.
And then we have the enemy of the civilized world, Iran, the best country to target so we can justify our unconditional support of the most right wing, out of control, racist and horrible regime in Israel's modern history.
And as I predicted right after the Israeli attack against Iranian consulate, the good old defenders of law and order, the leaders of the free world and the guardians of what is right in our world are all united to stand beside Israel's right to "defend itself".
As an old friend used to say it, "it is like the whole neighborhood standing up against the father of a raped child, who fell victim of a serial rapist, a bully and a pedophile, the one they KNOW is guilty,but still chose to protect because the victim is an outsider, it is not one of them and they can just can't allow him to be held accountable for what he has done".
Powerful explosions reported in Krayot area (near Haifa), northern Israel.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has asked China's foreign minister and other counterparts to use their influence to dissuade Iran from striking Israel, the State Department said Thursday.
Iran Foreign Minister rejects any attempts at mediation, says that countries 'should have condemned the Israeli aggression when they had the chance', and that a punishment is definitely necessary
The United States said on Thursday it had restricted its employees in Israel and their family members from personal travel outside the greater Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Be'er Sheva areas amid Iran's threats to retaliate against its regional adversary"
➡️ The Iranian state news agency IRNA wrote on Wednesday that “the time is ripe to punish Israel”. It claimed a final decision on how to respond to Israel had been made, adding a failure to respond would undermine Iran’s “deterrence.”
➡️ The Tasnim news agency, which is close to the Revolutionary Guards, also wrote that Iran’s “punishment” for Israel was inevitable and would be “heavy”.
➡️ But it said how and when Iran would act was confidential and that reports suggesting that Tehran would respond over the next few days or was planning a missile and drone strike were only speculation.
➡️ Iran’s foreign minister Hossein Amirabdollahian held phone conversations with foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, Iraq, United Arab Emirates and Qatar on Wednesday night, with the ministry saying the consequences of Israel’s attack on the Iranian consulate were among the topics discussed. He also spoke to his Turkish counterpart on Thursday.
➡️ Israeli security analysts have said an Iranian attack could range from a strike via one of Iran’s proxies, such as Hizbollah, to a direct attack on Israel from Iran itself, which could risk an escalation of the regional conflict.

Various unconfirmed reports, suggest that Iran is coordinating the plans for simultaneously attack multiple targets inside Israel from Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Iran.
They believe that the plan is to overwhelm the Israeli air defense by barrage of drones and rockets while the strategic targets will be hit by Iranian ICBM and cruise missiles..
The plan seems to create mass hysteria across Israel, just to show Iran is able to hit any target as a warning to both US and Israel that any future agression against Iranian targets will be responded with the same level of retaliation
Of course, none of those posting these have any actual Intel about the plans or abilities of Iran and it's allies and how much fire power they are going to use or what targets they are going to hit.
But one thing everyone seems to agree on is that none of the targets going to be Americans and US will not interfere with the retaliatios. And if course those are all speculations too.
Also important to remember that many of the so called "intelligent" agencies and "think tanks" posting some ridiculous garbage out there and many of them seems to be trying to portray Iran as a danger to both US and Europe as well as Arab nations south of Persian gulf.

Members of the Lebanese Forces party (pro Israeli far right Christian group) have blocked many roads and are assaulting non-locals and brutally beating un-involved #Syrians.
This comes after some #Syrians kidnapped and killed a local leader in their party during a car theft.
The body was taken to #Syria, and is being transported back to #Lebanon.
Video of one incident and troops movement is shared on my telegran channel:
PS. A few decades ago, Israeli Mossad set up a massive terror campaign in Lebanon, blamed on Palestinians and PLO that eventually led to invasion of Lebanon by Israel with the help of South Lebanese Christian army (Christian ISIS), that led to over 70000 death, including up to 7000 women, elderly and children in palestinian refuge camps Sabra and Chatila.
A few ballots during US election primaries made the magic of making Biden realize he actually has power to end the ongoing Genocide.
Maybe the person who posted it is right, but I'm guessing it is premature and naive to think Israel is actually listening to US, but instead, Israel is planning for a much bigger, much deadlier and more "internationally acceptable" war against Lebanon and Syria to stop "Iranian threat".
But only time will show who is right and who is not.
Me, I'm just happy that the daily terror against millions of palestinians have decreased and there is a small chance that the Egyptians will open the Rafah border crossing to allow 100s of daily trucks needed to keep Palestinians from starving and hopefully letting palestinian farmers to go back and harvest their land destroyed by IDF and the those in need of acute medical help to leave Gaza and seek help somewhere else.
But don't gets your hopes up that the blood thirsty Netanyahu and his fascist cabinet are going to admit that they have lost the war and didn't achieve any of the goals they set-up before Gaza invasion, except for making it uninhabitable.

Those 7 countries, #Iraq, #Syria, #Lebannon, #Libya, #Somalia, #Sudan, and #Iran have since been attacked, and some destroyed. It is easier to see at this point in time that the end goal for destroying those countries was for Israel's expansion into 'greater Israel', control of regional oil resources and trade routes through Israel. Lybia was about to switch to gold based currency and ditch the petro dollar. USA-Israel couldn't allow that. The displacement and genocide of Palestinians was an implicit part of the plan.
This cabal of warmongers couldn't foresee that #Russia would come to the rescue of Syria, and that #China would form a strong trade connection with Iran. So now the cabal is seeing its decades-long grand plan about to be snatched from their bloody hands. Instigating #WW3 is indeed their last resort.
CBS quoting US officials:
Israel and America are convinced that Iran is preparing to respond to the bombing of its consulate in Damascus
American intelligence information indicates that Iran is planning to launch a retaliatory attack that includes Shahed drones and cruise missiles.
American intelligence says that the timing and goal of the Iranian response are not yet known, and that the response may target an Israeli diplomatic facility, and it may happen between now and the end of Ramadan.
Intelligence information indicates that the launch location of the response is unknown, whether it will be launched from Iraq, Syria, or Iranian territory
I'm sure US troops and equipment movements have nothing to do with trying to protect Israel from Iranian retaliation
Didn't #GenocideJoe promised they will leave #Iraq and Syria?
A massive military convoy belonging to U.S. forces entering from northern Iraq, consisting of 63 trucks loaded with military equipment, logistical supplies, and MIM-23 Hawk air defense systems.
The convoy dispersed in northeastern #Syria.
