Finally, how true is the IDF description of it being a limited raid-tier border invasion?

For now, it's true they are limiting the ground invasion to 3km, to the first line of villages. They aren't eying YET any villages deeper than that. No Bint Jbeil, not Khiyam, no Naqoura, etc

They focused all those forces to those border villages, and are inching close to their objectives there. Their own tactical successes.

However the air attacks are not ones that are for a limited ground invasion of the south. They attacked Lebanon as if they are marching to Beirut tomorrow, causing an imaginable damage to everywhere in Lebanon from south to Beqaa.

Well its true they won't march to Beirut, but they wanted to harm Lebanese in Beirut and in Beqaa. This war was an opportunity to go after everywhere they wanted to attack but couldn't in the last 18 years before they were dettered.

So what is their end plan? The current war goal is not to defeat Hezbullah

The current war goal is to return the settlers back home, but this goal was easily achievable through ending the war in Gaza.

But no, the goal is to destroy Gaza and depopulate all its north, and through that attack Lebanon to severely damage Hezbullah from an army to a small weak militia.

And through that, secure a new occupation of a border strip in Lebanon and ensure the war doesn't end through securing ability to constantly attack Lebanon (south to north) to ensure Hezbullah can never rebuild itself to what it was.

Aka endless chaos. They will continue to hit, to attempt to reach this goal. For them, they are effectively laying seige in Lebanon, no new weapons. This is their assumption.

This is why they attacked ammo depos in Syria too

With taking the border area, no more ATGMs and no ability to cross border attacks. With daily attacks, the rocket launches will be reduced, and reach a point where like Gaza, launches are almost zero. On rare occasions 1-2. That's their own theory

This is what Lebanon should ensure they fail in and what I mentioned before is how we win.

Deny their ability to occupy for long that border strip. Deny their will to never end this war. Ensure the war ends and ensure it ends in a way the IDF attacking daily isn't the new routine.

The IDF being able to secure the border villages for weeks or months is something that'll happen. Let's understand this. The question now is, after they secure it and the rockets still fall on them both inside these villages and inside the northern settlements, how will they justify returning the settlers home.

It's not safe enough. Hezbullah is still firing. What to do now? We have no hostages to negotiate about. It's only a matter of security and to be or not to be.

Will IDF move forward towards the large towns and deeper in south Lebanon? Will they wipe those villages from the air but never enter them? How will they clear rocket launch?

Those are important question. Answered in few months

We will win regardless :)

❗️The IDF issued a new wave of large eviction orders all around Beirut's Dahyeh, including a small civilian fishing port area near Ouza'i I think.

The orders are in Hadath, Haret Hreik, Laylaki, and Burj el-Barajneh

🇱🇧 Al-Sahel hospital director rejects Israeli claims, and confirm the hospital isn't connected to Hezbullah. He also called Lebanese security forces to come and check themselves.

The hospital is not even the one affiliated with Hezbulah in Beirut. What's even more important is that the hospital was founded literally when Sayyed Hassan was only 10 y/o.

How do you build a bunker under an already built structure? A bunker of that size!

📸 The hospital is now being evacuated, both the staff and the patients.

The hospital's entrance is located near a Lebanese army checkpoint. This is one the biggiest and much needed hospitals in Beirut.

❗️The Israeli attacks in Beirut started, less than 5 minutes after the warnings, including Ouzai that has been attacked today for the first time.

📹 Ouzai: A lot of people who stayed there are now trying to evacuate, this is causing a new wave of displacement in Beirut.

📸 The location they will attack is literally poor men's fishing boats in the most busy area.

It is also close to the runaway on the Lebanese airport.

❗️Initial reports of an Israeli drone strike to evacuate on the entrance of Rafic al-Hariri hospital on Jnah.

This isn't the hospital that they threatened tonight.

🇱🇧l🇮🇱 From the Israeli aggression tonight on my beautiful Dahyeh

❗️There are casualties in Ouzai because people didn't have time to evacuate, they attacked in less than 10 minutes and announced it on X.

There are also injuries in Jnah, in the two attacks near and at the hospital's entrance

🇮🇱l🇱🇧 Airstrikes in Hermel and Shemester in Beqaa valley, as the Israeli army is attacking Beirut now

🥀 The attack near Rafic Hariri hospital near Jnah targeted Al-Mekdad street, a very busy and heavily populated neighborhood.

Civil defense is on the scene to safe people and checked for casualties under the rubble. This area is not warned to evacuate.

📹 Repeatedly anti-aircraft fire tonight from Beirut towards Israeli jets.

This type of bullets is what exploded two weeks ago in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut, and which flew and fell in nearby locations.

🥀 There are many casualties in the Israeli attack in Jnah, Beirut. This area was not attacked frequently, still has a lot of people, and no evacuation orders were given.

📸So far, at least 6 airstrikes targeted Beirut's Dahyeh. Martyrs reported in the unannounced attack in Jnah near Amal HQ.

❗️Four people killed including a child and 24 wounded in Israeli strike on the premises of Beirut’s main public hospital, Rafik Hariri University Hospital.

The exact location is in Al-Mekdad street, against a residential building.

📸 The moment the fishing boats were attacked. No military targets anywhere, just Israeli terror.

📹 Large and big airstrikes target Ouzai

🇺🇸 “US doesn’t want to see daily strikes on Beirut”, state department spokesman told reporters…

And this is the third night in a row Beirut’s southern suburbs is under a heavy bombardment, the heaviest since the war started.

📸 The fishermen's boats are now burning
