🇮🇱/🇱🇧/🇮🇷 NEW: The IDF has managed to capture Beaufort Castle in southern Lebanon, which was last occupied by Israel in May 2000, more than 26 years ago.

Israel continues its advance in southern Lebanon, mostly by indiscriminate bombing and flattening of villages before advancing, and using banned ‘white phosphorous’ bombs to cover them.

Despite the Israeli push, casualties have increased in recent weeks due to Hezbollah’s usage of FPV drones, and this threat is expected to only get worse as the IDF pushes deeper into southern Lebanon.

The IDF is now converging on the first major Shia city — the city of Nabatieh — where it is expected that a very fierce battle will take place.

Amid all of this, Hezbollah has expanded its missile fire into Israel.

🇮🇱/🇮🇷 Yair Navot, a former IDF commander and journalist:

‘I don’t need to be told about Beaufort Castle. I was there and I know it well.

In my opinion, this is just an illusion, an attempt to sell some supposed symbolic achievement that has no real significance in the context and nature of today’s fighting.

The entire North is under bombardment, and its residents are living in hell. So, Beaufort is in our hands—does that change anything?

Are there fewer explosive drones? Fewer launches? Fewer casualties, wounded, and dead? No, but there’s a flag. Whoopee!’

🇺🇸/🇮🇷 NEW: An American KC-135 aerial refueling tanker (identification 63-8028) was seen returning to the United Kingdom with heavy shrapnel damage, likely out of service

Interestingly, this specific tanker was stationed in Tel Aviv during the war, not in Saudi Arabia. So the plane was very likely hit by a cluster warhead or an airburst warhead on the ground at Ben Gurion Airport.

Another possibility is that this plane was struck by an Iranian surface-to-air missile, but managed to make an emergency landing.

Fyi this is probably some IRGC guys trolling around, obviously tolls are not collected in cash and the ship would be subject to probably an immediate strike, but it’s very funny.

Could even be scammers lol.

🇺🇸/🇮🇷 President Trump on Truth Social:

‘Fake News CNN said today, routinely, that my Iran Nuclear Deal doesn’t talk about Nuclear, when actually it states, very clearly, that Iran will not have a Nuclear Weapon. It then goes on, in very strong and lengthy detail, to discuss various other aspects of Nuclear. In fact, that’s what most of the agreement is about. CNN, and so many others in the Fake News Media, is a Low Ratings disaster. Even with new ownership, it is unlikely to ever get better!!! President DJT’

— It’s funny that Trump and people in his administration keep presenting it as an achievement that Iran said it won’t get nuclear weapons.

Iran has made that commitment consistently, and various times, since the early 2000s. Most importantly, it was explicitly stated as a part of Obama’s deal (JCPOA).

— Literally in the 2015 deal (which Trump pulled out of):

‘Iran reaffirms that under no circumstances will Iran ever seek, develop or acquire any nuclear weapons.’
