As Israel’s ground operation in southern Lebanon intensifies, the Israel Defense Forces has sent evacuation orders to 51 villages, instructing residents to move north.

The area under the IDF evacuation orders makes up a quarter of all Lebanese territory, with its inhabitants pushed more than 30 miles north of their homes.

Israel sending more troops to southern Lebanon despite claims of "limited" incursion​

The Israeli military is sending an additional division to participate in the ground war in southern Lebanon, it announced Wednesday.

The size of Israeli military units are classified, but a division typically consists of at least 10,000 troops.

The addition of such a large number of soldiers comes despite Israel’s claim that its operation in Lebanon is “limited, localized, targeted” –  a description it repeated today.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has ordered Lebanese civilians in dozens of villages to leave their homes and move north of the Awali River, which is about 30 miles north of the border with Israel.

The military said the 36th Division of the IDF and additional forces were joining its operations targeting Iran-backed Hezbollah. The division includes soldiers from the Golani Brigade, 188th Armored Brigade and 6th Infantry Brigade, the IDF said. They are accompanied by the Israeli Air Force and the 282nd Artillery Brigade, it added.

The military last month moved the elite 98th division from Gaza to northern Israel.

The number of Israeli troops on the ground in southern Lebanon remains unclear following the military’s announcement Tuesday of an incursion across its northern border.

The Israeli military has staged some “sporadic raids” across the Lebanon-Israel border but its troops have not remained on Lebanese soil, a source from the UN Interim Forces in Lebanon said. The assessment that Israel has not yet launched a full-scale invasion was supported by two other high-level Lebanese security sources.

Israeli troops laid the groundwork for the incursion in recent days, ramping up airstrikes that have killed more than a thousand people, destroyed homes and displaced about 1 million in Lebanon.

Some context: Previous military operations initially declared by Israel to be limited in their goals have proved to be anything but. Examples include Israel’s years-long occupation of southern Lebanon that began in 1982 with the stated aim of a brief and limited mission to destroy the Palestinian Liberation Organization in the country.

More recently, Israel’s military declared a “limited” operation in Rafah, southern Gaza that has left the city in ruins.

Anti tank weapons, sniper rifles, IEDs, shoulder launched A.D systems are all vital to make life for the invader Jews hell

I know things are being developed but does Hezbollah have FPV drones like they use in Ukraine, I would imagine those would be a superb option
 


Assessing the fighting in southern Lebanon

Israel’s Iron Dome shooting down rockets


This was the sky above us earlier as Israel’s Iron Dome shot down one of the more than 100 Hezbollah rockets reported to have been launched from southern Lebanon so far today.

The loud explosions that accompanied the interceptions reflect the intensification of a battle that’s happening beyond the northern Israeli hills, out of our view.

It’s there that Israel is more than 36 hours into its ground invasion in Lebanon, which it says consists of a series of targeted operations.

At the same time, from nearby – but still afar - we’re constantly trying to piece together information from various sources to attempt to build an accurate picture of what’s unfolding.

First thing this morning, Hezbollah claimed to have repelled Israeli troops in the town of Adaisseh, inflicting casualties in the process.

Next, the Lebanese military – which is separate from Hezbollah – reported that Israeli troops had advanced about 400 metres into Lebanon, before turning back.

Then came confirmation from the IDF that it was involved – for the first time – in direct fighting with Hezbollah on the ground in what it called “close-range encounters". The IDF also released a short video clip showing troops on the move, in day-time and night-time, but gave away no details that would tell us more about the fighting that’s taking place.

Finally, the IDF confirmed the death of the first Israeli soldier during this Lebanon invasion. It sent condolences to the family of captain Eitan Oster who it said was killed today.

Until that point, many other Israeli families of serving soldiers now on - or beyond - the Lebanon border had faced an anxious wait for news as unconfirmed reports of casualties gathered pace on Telegram and WhatsApp groups – as well as in local and some Arab media.

With the announcement that another division of the Israeli army is being sent to the Lebanese border, more families will fear for loved ones crossing the border and into territory that Hezbollah knows so well.

Prime Minister Netanyahu says this is a vital, new mission to push back Hezbollah and allow tens of thousands of Israelis to return to their homes. But it’s perilous for the troops – and – as we’ve seen - has already had a devastating impact of hundreds of thousands of Lebanese civilians who’s been forced to flee their homes to escape the expanding Israeli attack.

If they don't, that would prove that they can't learn.
 
And how are the Israeli pilots fly over Pakistan to India?? Nah,
IF the Israel AF is going to attack Iran then they would have refueling in air, along with the American bases which are not far from the Persian Gulf and of course the American aircraft carriers.
Israelis have been practicing to attack Iran in a Blitzkrieg using launch of missiles along with aircrafts, for a long time. And they have the Americans to help them along with some 'friendly' or 'blessed' Arab countries which include the Hashemite CUCKDom of Jordan!


Iran already threatened to destroy all American bases and the whole of the ME(oil and gas fields and the entity) if the US gets involved in an all out war.

People should be aware that since GW2, Iran has manufactured and stockpiled 100s of thousands of missiles to go head to head with the US in a scenario like this.
 

Flattened buildings and drones overhead in Dahieh

Damage in Beirut


We are in Beirut’s southern suburbs known as Dahieh, the Hezbollah base in the capital, as part of a media tour organised by the group.

Hezbollah organised the tour to show what the group described as "some of the barbaric Israeli attacks on residential buildings and media institutions".

It was a rare chance to visit some of the sites hit in this intense campaign of Israeli airstrikes. One of the locations we were taken to was the building belonging to Sirat TV, hit on Monday.

It was flattened, and nearby buildings were severely damaged, an indication of the power of the attack.

There was still smoke billowing from the rubble and a heavy smell in the air. As we visited we could hear the sound of drones flying overhead.

There were several posters with the face of the Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, killed in an Israeli airstrike in Dahieh last week, and a banner saying: "None of our banners shall fall".

The second location was a residential building hit yesterday, also flattened.

Israel has accused the group of embedding its facilities, including weapons storage sites, in residential areas, and of using the civilian population as human shields, something Hezbollah has denied.

White House believes Israel is yet to decide its Iran response, senior US official says

From CNN’s Kayla Tausche

The White House does not believe that Israel has made a determination on how to respond to Iran’s unprecedented missile attack, a senior US official told CNN.

Top Biden administration officials and their Israeli counterparts have been in touch constantly in recent days and weeks, as they braced for a potential Iranian strike in retaliation for attacks on top Hamas and Hezbollah targets. Nearly 12 hours after that attack materialized, US counterparts had yet to receive detailed and decisive information about what to expect.

“At some point, they will have to come to us with more details,” the official said, noting that the US made no proactive specifications for how Israel should respond.

Some background:

After the US helped Israel intercept hundreds of drones and missiles fired by Iran in April, President Joe Biden urged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to “take the win,” CNN reported at the time.
It is not israel who decides, they can’t engage and escalate without US support.
 

Well, shit, guess I'm wrong.
