J.D. Vance was supposed to leave towards Islamabad this morning, as the flight takes almost 19 hours, but that now seems increasingly unlikely.

The Israeli Air Force struck and killed several Hezbollah operatives who "violated the ceasefire understandings" and posed a threat to troops in southern Lebanon in the past day, the military says.
They demolish

They destroy

They kill

They fly

They occupy

And they want you to stay silent and die silently

No...let our death be loud until death stops damn you

Trump admin understood well that keeping Iran in a state of no war no peace and sabotaging its fragile economy is more impactful than airstrikes is important to answer why he extended the ceasefire.

Suffocating Iran in the Hormoz and beyond while the U.S, Israel, and Arab are at peace and well.

The closure of the Red sea's strait should be done and asap, or else Iran will suffocate alone and it will be very impactful

It is these days when Iran has very few choices is how it loses the war and cements a U.S victory.

Action needed and very smart planning as you cannot defeat the U.S conventionally.

โ€” ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ/๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท Advisor to Iranโ€™s Parliament Speaker:

โ€˜Trump's extension of the ceasefire makes no sense. The losing side cannot set the terms.

Continuing the siege is no different from bombing and must be responded to militarily.

Meanwhile, Trump's extension of the ceasefire certainly means buying time for a surprise strike. It is Iran's time to take the initiative.โ€™

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท| Iranโ€™s Khatam al-Anbiya (Armed Forces) warns the US:

In light of the repeated threats by Trump & its invading terrorist commanders we warn them:

Our capable & powerful forces have long been at a state of 100% readiness, with their fingers on the trigger so that in the event of aggression or any action against Iran, we will immediately and forcefully strike pre-designated targets and deliver another lesson, harsher than before, to the US aggressor & the child-killing Zionist regime.

๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡งl๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ In this interview, the commander of the Nahal Brigade in the enemy army speaksโ€”not a settler, not a journalist, but the commander of a brigade fighting in southern Lebanon:

"We didn't dare raise our heads"
๐Ÿคฌ54๐Ÿ‘14๐Ÿ‘€4๐Ÿซก4
๐ŸงตQuoted as is from Israeli media:

First tour of the new security zone in Lebanon:

1/ The commander of the Nahal Brigade, Col. Arik Moyal, welcomed us in Aita al-Sha'ab with a smile, and spoke of a "sense of victory" -

"We can walk around here safely, before the ceasefire we wouldn't dare stick our heads out because Hezbullah sends explosive drones and we can intercept anti-tank missiles from long ranges"

But while the IDF is trying to sell a sense of victory - the difficult feelings of the residents of the north, who are disappointed by the ceasefire, are also heard inside Lebanon: Reserve fighters we met told us -

"The feeling is unpleasant, to say the least. We came to run over, to win, so that the residents of the north do not experience what they experienced. We were upset that they stopped us at this stage, we could have done more."
๐Ÿ‘22๐Ÿคฌ14๐Ÿซก2
2/ I asked the reservists (each of whom had served hundreds of days in reserve since the beginning of the war): Has the threat to the residents of the north been removed?

And they replied: "We tend to believe that it has not."

This voice is important to hear, because it does not come only from Kiryat Shmona - but also from Aita a-Sha'ab
๐Ÿ‘13๐Ÿ‘Ž5๐Ÿคฌ3๐Ÿซก2
And another thing that could not be ignored: the fighters who are in Lebanon today are the second generation of Lebanese.

Almost every fighter I asked replied that his father fought in '82 or '06, and is now fighting in the Fourth Lebanon War.

One of them said: "I think my son will also fight in Lebanon, unfortunately. There is no escape."
๐Ÿซก47๐Ÿ‘Ž6๐Ÿคฌ4๐Ÿ‘3
One of the most prominent tasks of the forces on the ground is the destruction of villages and buildings. The IDF says it is only destroying "terror infrastructure,"

In effect, they are destroying everything

Division 162 alone, one of five operating in Lebanon, has already destroyed more than 640 structures.

The commanders explain: A year and a half ago, the IDF cleared the first line of villages, and then Hezbollah established its own companies in the second and third line of villages - and therefore it is necessary to act on them now.

"The next time they want to prepare, it will be in Tyre," said one of the commanders.
๐Ÿ’”25๐Ÿคฌ14๐Ÿซก7๐Ÿ‘4
3/ The nature of the fighting this time was a little different: Hezbullah did not retreat, but sent hundreds of terrorists to southern Lebanon in the first few days.

The effective weapons were explosive drones and anti-tank missiles. Dozens every day.

"Their weapons are good, but in terms of courage and daring, they have a lot to learn even from Hamas. They hardly went out to fight," the commanders say.
๐Ÿ’”31๐Ÿ‘21๐Ÿ‘Ž5๐Ÿคฌ1
4/ The terrain was also challenging: the weather was very difficult in the first few days. The troops fought in a flood, "mud as high as the tank's turret," and fog.

"It wasn't easy even for the veterans, but on the second and third day we learned - and even in the mud, everything worked. That's how we learned best

The commanders refuse to call the area a "security zone," but rather a "security space," and explain the differences:

This time there will be fewer posts and the forces will be mobile, and this time the population is not allowed to return - and the forces will not be required to distinguish between enemy and civilian.

The challenge will remain with the Christian villages - who have already begun coordinating food and supply convoys.

And a final word about the reservists:

They are very challenged, and that is an understatement.

The attendance rate is 80%+, but we must not let these percentages obscure the situation:

- A reservist company commander who was threatened with being fired at work - was forced to not attend this round this tim

- When the company commander could not attend either, they were forced to disperse the battalion's companies among other battalions

- A soldier who left Lebanon for a job interview in the center of the country, admitted that he hides in interviews the fact that he is a combat reservist - so as not to harm his chances of acceptance.

They need help, and they need more people to come under the stretcher with them. Especially now, when the State of Israel still has hundreds of square kilometers of a new security zone to protect.

โ—๏ธ Israel kidnapped an injured Hezbullah fighter who successfully retreated from Bint Jbeil towards the town of Ein Ebl, a Christian town loyal to Israel in Lebanon.

He was to be transferred back to Lebanese territory in a Red Cross ambulance stationed in Rmeich, but the locals in Ein Ebl handed him over to the Israeli army

He has been taken into Israel.

There is possibly more fighters in Bint Jbeil and the red Zone
