who's Yair?

Yair Netanyahu is bibis oldest son and a constant embarrassment.

Arabs use the term Abu (oldest son) to refer to someone. Ie Mahmoud Abbas would be Abu Mazen. Called a kunya

The IDF hit the missile launcher that targeted Tel Aviv this morning almost immediately. According to Hezbollah sources, the operator was killed:

A drone from Iraq hit the Eilat port:

The Iran-backed Islamic Resistance in Iraq launched two drones in the attack, one which was intercepted by an Israeli Navy Sa'ar 5-class corvette .

The second drone hit the Eilat port, causing damage and lightly injuring two civilians who did not require hospitalization.

And the more I think about it, that is probably precisely what they did. If you are an intelligence agency and you are already tampering with a communication device to make it a bomb, why wouldn't you also turn it into a little spy device too.

It would have been a wasted opportunity to successfully plant all of those pager bombs and not have it track everybody's movements. No one has been saying how long these pagers have been in use.

I know nothing about war tactics so perhaps this is incredibly optimistic of me, but I wonder what it would be like if the IDF supported rebels on the inside, because I know Christian Lebanese fucking hate Hez and Muslims in general. Is that even “legal”? Or something that’s been tried before in history and failed spectacularly? Not much of a history buff either. Humor my autism, if you will

That already happened with the SLA who did most of the dirty work between 1978 and 2000. It won't happen again

Anyways, Safed residents are asked to stay near protected areas until further notice

I'm a little closer to the border than Safed and it's a weird atmosphere. All the towns closer to the border than us have been 95% evacuated so it feels like we are on the final frontier. There's not a lot going on other than life itself on auto pilot (for example I went swimming and to the office today despite high alert of rocket fire). It's hard to describe.

I am still amazed at how massive Israel's intelligence penetration of Hezbollah is. This level of precision dismantlement of a terrorist organization by air strikes should not be possible. The USA tried and failed at this for years in Afghanistan and Iraq. I wonder if we will ever find out how they did it.

Israel overestimating Hezbollah was definitely a good thing. I wouldn't speak too soon if the ground invasion rumours are true though, their sophistication is apparently in their defense and tunnel networks.

I was on the facebook page of Al Mayadeen (a pro-Hezbollah Lebanese news network) and the comments were pretty hilarous. A lot of "wait and see", the cope is that Hezbollah are akshully holding back and playing 5D chess by… trying to look incompetent on purpose? Lmao

Honestly, it doesn't add up to me. Sure, no one knows exactly how much damage the airstrikes have done, but you'd think that Hezbollah should be able to come with a much more significant response than they have by now. The most entertaining possiblity I've come across is that Hezbollah needs Iranian approval to use the really big ballistic missiles, but since those are meant as a deterrent against an Israeli attack on Iran, Iran doesn't want to waste them on protecting Hezbollah. There's a few problems with the theory but I choose to believe it because it's hilarious.

The airstrikes have verifiable destroyed arms caches and killed Hezzbollah fighters.

Hezbollah has barely responded, because as everyone knows they're Iranian puppets who exist solely to let Iran attack Israel by using Arabs and not Persians.

Iran knows that if they give the order, Hezzbollah can hurt Israel a bit and then Israel obliterates Hezzbollah. Oh and Israel will probably start attacking IRGC facilities and munitions dumps in Iran and will make Iran look weak and foolish.

The Houthis killed one person in Israel then Israel wrecked Houdeiah port.....

Also, a general Israeli -Hezzbollah war would definitely extend into Syria as well and everything suspected of being an IRGC base would get leveled ASAP.

They were used since earlier this year per Reuters, 5 months ago according to Al Jizz. I definitely saw the same figure reported elsewhere but consensus is they were acquired in 2024

Why not? We were fine to them, it was the UN that made us stop.

It's beautiful area, for people not from it, Israel feels (weather and geography wise) like many parts of Utah but just smaller and with less extremes.

Because it's their majority population. There's a joke in the station's very name, but, I hope I don't need to dignify that.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Israel have a pretty strong air force relative to its size? I feel like any time I've ever heard of modern Israeli military brags it's been the air force.
