📑 The Israeli army released a new photo of Hamas military leader Mohammed Deif.

The photo is claimed to be one among some 70 million digital files located in Gaza and brought to Israel for processing.

The important question is how Hamas, who initiated a pre-emptive attack, failed to secure such large caches of digital data at its HQs?

What are the present time and future repercussions of such intelligence on the group and its leadership?

📑 Update: Two civilians were injured. No deaths.

🔴 Hezbullah released the following statement:

In its air attacks on our areas, the Israeli enemy intends to repeat the raid on the same targeted places in close periods of time, hardly exceeding a few minutes, with the aim of confirming killing and bloodshed.

Therefore, we call on you, our dear people, and out of concern for your safety, to stay away from the places that are being targeted and not to approach them or gather in their vicinity, and to leave relief efforts to the concerned authorities charged with this task.

Your zeal and chivalry are a source of pride, but your lives are more precious than anything, and preserving them is the responsibility of all of us.

📑 US skeptical Israel can take on Hezbullah just now

In an article by the Washington Post, the US Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) found that it will be difficult for Israel to succeed in a war with Lebanon’s Hezbullah because its military assets and resources would be spread too thin given the conflict in Gaza.

It added that according to US intelligence, the Israeli army has hit the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) more than 34 times since Oct. 7.

The US considers these actions as hindering to its efforts to transform the Lebanese Army into a counter for Hezbullah, as they would be a vital component of any “day after” in Lebanon in which Hezbullah is weakened and poses less of a threat to Israel.

In response to this article, Barak Ravid highlights a very important point.

"The Israeli high intensity operation in Gaza is almost over. If Israel decides to go to war in Lebanon (which is a big if), it will shift most of the forces to the north and can do it pretty quickly."

And while that is true, an exhausted ground force being shifted to a harder battlefield before accomplishing war goals in Gaza is going to proof devastating to the Israeli army and the Israeli government.

📷 For the third day in a row, the Israeli army deploys smoke inside Khiyam village.

📷 The latest attack from Lebanon towards Metulla used rockets and ATGMs, damaging a few houses a local hotel.

📹 At about 3.05 pm, Hezbullah took credit for two attacks:
🔻 Al-Malkieh site, claiming killing and injuring soldiers
🔻 Al-Radar military site

The video shows the attack on Al-Radar site, share many of the rockets impacted in its vicinity.

Another rocket attack took place today and claimed by tr group at 1.45 pm against Al-Manara.

📹 Earlier today, Israel jets carried out mock raids in various village in south Lebanon as a show of force.

Similar flyovers were done over Beirut but at much higher altitudes.

📷 Limited damages was caused to the glass at shops and houses in those villages.

📷 Heavy smoke shells were fired inside Kfarkila village in south Lebanon.

📷 Lebanese Christian group "God's Soldiers" who was infamous for their actions for removing LGBT banners in Achrafieh 'hacked' the airport monitors in Beirut displaying an anti-Hezbullah letter.

The message accuses Hezbullah of using the Beirut port, resulting in blowing it up, and now accuses the group of using the airport which would lead it to getting blown up by Israel.

While there logo is on the channel, it might have been used falsely by a group of Israeli hackers.

📑 Israeli soldiers shot dead 3 Palestinians at a checkpoint in the West Bank, including a woman and a 3 years-old in a different car than the one claimed to be involved in a ramming attack.

🗣️ Hezbullah took credit for 6 additional attacks today, majority taking place in a few hours span

🔻 At 3.30 pm, an attack took place against a Merkava tank with several ATGMs. The tank is claimed to be burned and destroyed, killing its crew

🔻 At 4:00 pm, the following attacks took place:

- Attack on soldiers in Metula
- Attack on Marj military site
- Attack on Shomeera military site
- Attack on Metat military site
- Attack on Zar'it military site

🔻 At 5.00 pm, am attack with rockets was claimed on Ya'ara military site.

📑 Israelis military reporters are trying to justify Hezbullah's successful attack on Meron base, by claiming there is no defense against ATGMs, and that is why there was no Iron Dome activation.

While this is true, and notably that Hezbullah was successful in using its new long range Russian ATGMs, there is nothing to justify the lack of Iron Dome activation to intercept the 62 rockets fired from Lebanon, especially when sirens sounded in populated areas under its array of defense.

Remarkably, other senior military correspondents are saying the footage is fake because of the lack of Israeli coverage of the attack and the assesment of the impact. There is a gag order!

📑 CNN reports on Gaza based on approvals exclusively given by the Israelis Army

Where reporting in the Middle East, the United States, or anywhere else across the globe, every CNN journalist covering Israel and Palestine must submit their work for review by the news organization’s bureau in Jerusalem prior to publication.

Like all foreign news organizations operating in Israel, CNN’s Jerusalem bureau is subject to the rules of the Israel Defense Forces’s censor, which dictates subjects that are off-limits for news organizations to cover, and censors articles it deems unfit or unsafe to print.

A shaky arrangement has long existed between the IDF censor and the domestic and foreign press, forcing journalists to frequently self-censor their reporting for fear of running afoul of prohibited subjects, losing their press credentials, and potentially being forced to offer public apology.

Also in October, CNN hired a former IDF soldier to contribute writing and reporting to CNN’s war coverage. Tamar Michaelis’s first byline appears on October 17, 10 days after Hamas’s attack on southern Israel. Since then, her name has appeared on dozens of stories citing the IDF spokesperson and relaying information about the IDF’s operations in the Gaza Strip.

📑 Update: The Lebanese group 'God's soldiers' deny they involvement and condemn the use of their logo.

They confirm their only enemy is Satan.

📑 According to US and Israeli media, the US Secretary of State is going to ask the Israeli leadership to move into the new phase of war in Gaza, in order to lower the chances of war with Lebanon.

The US is afraid the war will expand to Lebanon, due to the complications this will have in the Middle East for the sake of Israel's own security and the upcoming elections in the US.

US election officials seem to assume that the chances of electing a sitting present with intense involvement in the middle east, becomes lower.

⛔ Officially Israel acknowledges damage to its strategic air control system in Meron

In a statement, the Israeli army acknowledge damage was caused to the Air Force's air control base in Miron as a result of Hezbullah's missile attack.

The IDF claims there is no lasting harm, and the its functionality continues, as there are backups for all systems.

The IDF started an investigation of the incident, in an attempt to check how to reduce incidents of this type, will take place.

📝 It's clear there can be backups, but nothing can replace them fast enough if the base was destroyed full. Even if so, nothing can replace the strategic coverage this location provides if it was relocated into smaller subsystems all around.

They will be masked by terrain. It's not open lands.
