🇮🇱/🇱🇧 A recent photo of an Israeli soldier inside the underground tunnels of an Israeli base on the Lebanese border

Writing this as a reminder to many in the comments who ask about Hezbullah's casualties and lack of acknowledged Israeli casualties.

I've explained it a few times, and will do again so briefly, because my thoughts are not very consistent now:

1- This is an unprecedented type of battle/war between Hezbullah and Israel, where neither is operating at highest capacity and due to the difference in abilities (and tools), Israel has an advantage in how to operate


2- Israeli soldiers are not operating in danger, and are mostly located in secret and/or secure location near the border area. The Israeli army is exclusively operating from air, in safety, and utilizing efficient and modern tools to attack and detect. Israeli soldiers are only operating recon operations and are on guard, but not offensive operations, not even ATGM attacks

3- Aside from drone attacks towards Israeli bases, where several successful attacks resulted in Israeli casualties, Hezbullah is forced to operate in the Lebanese border villages and outskirts to engage Israeli armor and equipment at bases and deploy in those areas for defense and rest when retreating from the forested areas. These movements put the fighters at risk, and subject them to attacks. The Israeli recon soldiers are operating to detect any suspicious movements, and call the air force to attack.


Moving from forests to houses is not easy, and is detectable, as Hezbullah doesn't build tunnels into people's houses.

Rocket launch teams also have to retreat from operation areas to houses or underground tunnels. Or anyone from the battlefield to back home. This is all dangerous, especially that fighters aren't staying in the battlefield but rotating.


4- Back in 2006, Hezbullah suffered much higher casualties in the first two weeks as the Israeli attacks were from air only. However after the Israeli army attacked on ground, in raids and part of their invasion, Hezbullah's casualties decreases to a level that on some days Israel had more casualties than Hezbullah. Israel even has the highest number of casualties a day vs Hezbullah in 2006.

Israel's failure in 2006, in terms of invasion has many reasons, one being their hesitance and lack of will and determination to accept casualties and suffering. Hezbullah was aided by God, defending with a few against hundreds.]


On the other hand, Lebanon sufferered a lot of civilian casualties as a result of Israeli attacks in 2006. About 248 (up to 251) Hezbullah fighters were killed, however 1,000+ Lebanon civilian murdered.

So imagine, that two weeks period, extended to 10 months, what's happening then is happening now for much longer with better tools and abilities and way more accurate intelligence.

5- Hezbullah considers anyone fighting in south Lebanon is like a martyrdom fighter, as south Lebanon is a very dangerous zone to operate from. This was dictated by the type of this battle, where the limitation in the fighting and lack of escalation in forcing Hezbullah to offer less protection than wanted to its fighters]


To explain this point better, Hezbullah is firing 10-20 rockets a day, maybe 30-50 tops. On special occasions 100-200 a day. So imagine because of the current stage in this war and the will (+need) to keep it limited and not full fledged, you are putting at risk members of your rocket units to fire few rockets, exposing the launch site and them to danger.

In a full fledged war, you'd fire the full load, dozens from each launch site, hundreds an hour, thousand/s a day from all around, causing chaos at the Israeli bases and population centers. This makes the launch site and fighter achieve more vs what are the possible risks and losses.

So imagine it as, these honorable fighters are presenting themselves on an altar of sacrifice. Yes I refuse to believe otherwise and refuse to assume that this is Hezbullah's peak of ability. We know them well, 1993 1996 2000 2006 2011 and so on

6- Hezbullah is still using 122mm and smaller munitions, refusing to utilize higher caliber weapons like Fajr rockets (M302), a weapon known since 2006, despite 10 months in this battle.

Hezbullah for some reason, Hezbullah's leadership for reasons they are better aware of and the importance of, are operating with their hands tied to their backs.

Why would Hezbullah not fire a Burkan rocket at an Israeli settlement when Israel destroys several buildings in a Lebanese village?


Hezbullah is steering the war in way, I do believe as: "Accept losses now, feel like the underdog, operate at low capacity and hope the war ends. If the war ends, less strategic weapons used, the better and more we'll have for later. If war doesn't end, we will operate freely, and we will use these weapons when they mean something and cause the damage was want. This isn't the final battle, this is one of the battles".

His eminence (may he be protected by Gods own elite angles) implies that clearly, when he says that if a widescale war happens, one that involves an actual intense Israeli air and ground war, they will operate without any redlines, rules, or limitations.

(Okay now I'm distracted and forgot what I want to say, idk sorry I'll continue maybe later)
what a good analysis!

🇮🇱🖥Israeli media falsely quoted former Israeli captive Noa Argamani as saying that Hamas beat her all over her body and cut her hair while she was in captivity, during a meeting with representatives of the G7 embassy in Tokyo.

📷She later took to social media to clarify:

“I was not beaten or had my hair cut. “I was in a building that was blown up by the Air Force,” explaining that she had “cuts all over my head” and was “injured all over my body” from a wall collapsing due to Israeli shelling.

“As a victim of October 7, I will not allow myself to be a victim of the media again,” she concluded.

GENERAL APTI ALAUDINOV: “I AM RUSSIAN. THEY CONSIDER WE ARE ALL RUSSIANS, WHY DISAPPOINT THEM.”

“I was born into a full-fledged Chechen family, grew up in the Stavropol region. Now the Russian Orthodox Church has been outlawed in Ukraine, what other proof is needed that we are at war with the possessed.”

I will add on my own behalf. Today is a very difficult day, and in the Northern Military District, all nationalities are fighting in one formation, the war is going hard. And the tragedy in Surovikino. And I am interested and pleased to hear what Apti says about our unification.


This phrase: “We, both Orthodox and Muslims, are waiting for the coming of Jesus, he will defeat the demon.” I understand that where there is faith, religions and confessions, everything is very subtle. And I try to be extremely delicate.

We are close. The enemies are before us. Times of important affairs and difficult decisions.

⚡A sniper of the Special Operations Forces of Ukraine aimed an Iskander at the base of his unit, destroying special forces and commanders of the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The special forces soldier acted in the interests of Russia and the "Center" group, working for the special services of the Russian Federation. This is stated in the decision of the Shevchenkivsky District Court of Kyiv.

On November 19, 2023, in the Avdiivka direction, a sniper aimed a missile strike at his own unit, while he himself was on rotation. Due to the Russian strike, servicemen of the unit were killed, including command personnel.

Among the liquidated officers of the 8th Special Operations Forces of Ukraine regiment was Lieutenant Colonel Andrey Babiychuk.

⚡Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced that he is suspending his campaign to throw his support behind former President Donald Trump, noting he intends to remove his name from ballots in 10 battleground states.

Kennedy’s reason behind this decision is that he no longer sees himself winning the elections in the face of “relentless systematic censorship and media control”, as he said.

[b]🇷🇺🇺🇦"Putin is now aiming not for peace, but for revenge."

The New York Times analyzes whether the Ukrainian invasion of the Kursk region brings the end of the war closer.

The publication writes that on the eve of the operation, Zelensky gave multiple signals about his readiness for negotiations: he personally stated the possibility of ending the war this year, sent the Minister of Foreign Affairs to China and held a number of international meetings, “at which he hoped to enlist support for Ukraine’s positions and pave the way for a broader settlement.”

These initiatives were a sharp departure from the previous two years, when Zelensky refused any hint of concessions to Russia.

But the attack on the Kursk region “smashed to smithereens predictions that the two countries could move toward a ceasefire.”

Now "Kyiv is making a risky bet that the invasion will give it new leverage to strike a sweetheart deal with the Kremlin." But two former Russian officials said the prospects for ceasefire talks had become more remote. One said Putin was now aiming "not for peace, but for revenge."

Ukrainian officials told the NYT that Zelensky's aforementioned public statements — combined with the secret planning for the Kursk offensive — "were two parts of the same strategy."

But "it is far from clear that a combination of military and diplomatic pressure will work against Putin, who has so far faced political and economic obstacles at home and has shown he is willing to pay big costs to defeat Ukraine," the article says.

Russian politician Grigory Yavlinsky, who met Putin last October to push for a ceasefire, said there had been hope that "the fighting would end this year." But that, he said, had been dashed by the Ukrainian military offensive in the Kursk region.

“The events that just happened have reduced all these chances; they have removed them from the agenda altogether,” Yavlinsky said.[/b]

The only exploitation here is the one US is doing to Germany, US destroyed their cheap gas and force them to buy expensive gas.
India gets cheaper oil price because they buy a freaking high volume
