🚨DAILY OPEN-INTEL BRIEF: MAJOR ESCALATION BETWEEN ISRAEL AND HEZBOLLAH

1. Hezbollah Attacks

Hezbollah launched a barrage of rockets towards Israel, targeting Haifa, the Zofulon military base, and various areas in the Galilee region.

A missile fired by Hezbollah landed in the Haifa area, and the Israeli settlement of Sa'ar was also targeted.

2. Israeli Retaliation

Israel conducted numerous airstrikes across Lebanon, targeting Hezbollah infrastructure and personnel.

The IDF carried out strikes in the southern suburbs of Beirut, the Bekaa Valley, and the town of Shia.

Israel claimed responsibility for an airstrike against the Houthis in Hudaydah, Yemen, destroying an oil terminal and several power plants.

Airstrikes were also reported in Syria, likely conducted by Israel.

3. International Response

The escalating conflict has drawn international attention, with the US urging restraint from both sides.

Netanyahu declared that the assassination of Nasrallah was necessary for the return of Israeli citizens to northern Israel.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian accused the US and Europe of lying about reaching a ceasefire in Gaza if Iran delayed its response to Ismael Haniyeh's assassination.

4. Civilian Casualties

Lebanese Ministry of Health reported 39 deaths and over 200 injuries as a result of Israeli airstrikes across Lebanon on September 29, 2024.

Civilian casualties continue to rise in Lebanon due to Israel's military actions.

🇮🇱🇱🇧 WHY WAS HEZBOLLAH’S HQ BUILT UNDER RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS?

Hezbollah built its HQ beneath residential buildings and near a UN-run school in Beirut as part of a strategy to deter Israeli airstrikes.

This positioning took advantage of the 1996 April Understanding, a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon.

The deal prohibited both sides from attacking civilian targets, attempting to protect populated areas.

By embedding military infrastructure in civilian zones, Hezbollah aims to minimize the risk of Israeli retaliation while continuing its operations.

Key Hezbollah leaders, including Nasrallah, operated from underground bunkers buried hundreds of feet below homes and schools throughout Lebanon.

🔁Arya - آریا:

the Americans begun their psychological messaging campaign to Iran, asking to exercise restraint. The CIA knows how to pick their words and how to time certain messages, like repeating that a ceasefire is very close, but not seeing the end of it, because the Americans don’t want a ceasefire, but they try to buy time.

Zarif & Pezeshkian both said in New York, during the UNGA, that Iran received US’ request to exercise restraint as they are near a ceasefire resolution, “deceiving” these Iranian officials, to delay any Iranian retaliation for martyr Haniyeh’s assassination.

I put deceiving between quotation marks since we can’t say for certain of their intentions. But to put my own personal remark: Zarif is US’ most efficient and practical investment in Iran, so far.

Now that you understand the absence of Iran’s response for martyr Haniyeh’s assassination, it’s important to understand that this doesn’t mean that Iran has left alone the resistance at all. We’re solely talking about Iran’s personal loss of chance, in retaliating.

To avoid further confusion, Iran’s leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, doesn’t fall under the category of “Iranian official”. He’s the sole reason for Iran’s continued support to the resistance. Iran has given many martyrs in the path of liberation. One of our prominent commanders was just confirmed martyred alongside Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.

Iran will continue support for Hezbollah (arms, intel, etc) and this won’t be affected by Iran’s (current) government.
