โšก๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡งโŒ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ - Hezbollah published footage of the targeting of an IDF Infantry soldier using an FPV drone equipped with thermal imagery in southern Lebanon's 'Bayada' on the 23rd of May.

Do note that the IDF only ever moves at night-time, as movement is doctrinally ceased in daylight due to the FPV drone threat. Thus, the threat of thermal imagery FPV drones are significant, to say the least.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ทโŒ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ- The Secretary of the Iranian Supreme National Security Council, Mohammad Baqer Zolqadr, has released a statement:
There will be no retreat.

This was demonstrated by the military field, the diplomatic field, and the envoys present on the streets with their fierce resistance and pinned the enemy to the ground.

Now more than ever, the country needs unity and cohesion so that the Americans and Zionists will also be disappointed in this regard.

The field of unity and cohesion is another field in the struggle.

A common effort to prevent any speech or action that disrupts unity will lead dear Iran to final victory.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธโŒ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ง- A senior US official hinted to Axios that the Trump administration will support an escalation of Israeli actions against Lebanon, stating, "Israel will never be required to passively absorb attacks on its forces and citizens."

โžก๏ธ "This is not the Biden administration," they said. The official noted that since April 17, Hezbollah has launched more than 1,000 drones and over 700 rockets, describing the situation as "not sustainable" and placing full responsibility on Hezbollah for the current escalation.

โžก๏ธ The official added that Hezbollah violated the ceasefire on March 2nd and is now actively attempting to "sabotage" ongoing Lebanon-Israel negotiations supported by the US out of fear that a successful ceasefire led by the Lebanese government would undermine Hezbollah's power and narrative. "This constitutes an existential threat to Hezbollah," the official said.
