🇱🇧/🇮🇱 In an alarming change of tone and statement, Israel abandons the path of possible diplomacy to the end of the battle in Lebanon.

Israeli Defense Minister Galant met with US President's envoy Amos Hochstein and announced:
"The only way left to return the residents of the north to their homes is military action"

This coincides with yesterday's news that Netanyahu is planning to approve a battle plan inside Lebanon and the will to carry a ground invasion.

— 🇮🇷/🇾🇪 NEW: Yemen's Ansarullah has released footage launching the 'Palestine-2' hypersonic missile at Israel two days ago

As expected, the missile looks and sounds similar to the Yemeni version of Iran's Kheybar Shekan-2, except the missile cone has a sharper angle, indicating a slightly different variant.

Edit: The missile cone actually looks more similar to Iran's 'Fatah' hypersonic missile, due to the sharp angles. It might be Yemen's domestic version of this missile.
