UPDATE 10:00 AM ISRAEL TIME
The IAF hit numerous targets in Lebanon overnight–especially targeting what Israel calls Hezbollah’s “financial institutions” and weapons warehouses.
You may remember some years ago that PM Netanyahu declared in a speech in the United States (complete with photos) that major weapons repositories were located around the Beirut Airport.
This is a photo from the airport last night:
Hezbollah launched 220+ missiles and drones into Israel yesterday–or roughly 10 per hour. Fortunately no one was killed; however more than a dozen were wounded.
Missiles and drones launched so far today (as of 10:00 am):
00:05 Misgav Am; 00:06 Margaliot, Manara, Kiryat Shmona; 01:55 Mehola, Shadmot Mechola; 02:49 Malkia, Avivim, Yir’on; 07:57 Manara, Margaliot; 08:15 Margaliot; 08:22 Ma’alot Tarshicha, Hossen, Abirim, Fassuta, Arab al-Naim, Peki’in, Migdal Tefen; 08:35 Neot Mordechai; 09:19 Margaliot
Inching Closer To An Attack on Iran?
U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin confirmed this morning that the THAAD system that the U.S. has brought to Israel is now up and operational.
About The Biden Leak of Israeli Attack Plans To Iran
It is being alleged this morning that the leak came from Ariane Tabatabai who is the Chief of Staff of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations–as well as being a U.S. Naval Officer. Tabatabai is of Iranian-American background, and has long been suspected of being involved with Iran.
How she could have gotten hold of the top secret plans would simply be incomprehensible were it not for the fact that she is part of the Biden Administration.
Happy Birthday!
Today’s is PM Netanyahu’s 75th birthday, having been born in 1949 in Tel Aviv. His mother, Tzila Segal (1912–2000), was born in Petah Tikva while it was part of the the Ottoman Empire; his father, Benzion Netanyahu (né Mileikowsky 1910–2012), was born in Warsaw.
We wish the Prime Minister well!
A student from Malawi, who had worked with an Israeli health volunteer in his country battling AIDS, came up to us as we walked down the street in the UC-Davis Picnic Day Parade and wanted to carry the Israeli flag.
