Still no imagery from Tel Nof airbase btw. It must be even more severe, if they're doing so much effort to hide it.

— ❗️🇮🇱/🇱🇧/ 🇱🇧 BREAKING: The IDF tried to advance in Lebanon's western sector, in a locality called 'Tabbouneh' near the towns of Aalma El Shaab and Naqoura

IDF mechanized and armored units tried to advance to a local UNIFIL outpost to station itself behind them as human shields, but they received heavy incoming fire from Hezbollah ATGM squads before they arrived.

Al-Mayadeen captured the moment live, when the Israeli convoy was ambushed by Hezbollah fighters. Smoke can be seen rising from the vehicles and tanks that were hit by anti-tank missiles.

— 🇮🇱/🇱🇧 NEW: Meanwhile, the IDF is confirmed to have established a permanent presence on the very outskirts of Maroun El Ras, raising the Israeli flag there on a hill

They seem to have a similar presence in Odaisseh, controlling small parts of the town's outskirts. In the center there is still very heavy resistance and the IDF has no operational freedom whatsoever.

— 🇮🇱/🇱🇧 NOTE: The IDF claims to have captured the 'Hezbollah headquarters' in Maroun El Ras – however the footage shows them planting the flag at the 'Iranian garden', which is located about 700 meters from the border and is at the very outskirts of the city

It likely wasn't Hezbollah's headquarters in the city, but the Iranian garden sits on top of a hill that overlooks the border area, which makes it an important strategic point to control. Hezbollah had been defending it for the past several days. The rest of the city is still under control of the resistance.

🇱🇧l🇮🇱 Currently 4 Israeli army divisions operate on the Lebanese border as part of the ongoing invasion.

To the right you have the 98th, 91st and 36th while on the left in the east, the 146th.

Today we are on the 8-9th day of the invasion. In 2006, the ground war was about 15-20 days at maximum. (I'll validate how long later)

— 🇮🇷 Tomorrow's front page of the Tehran Times: 'Rising Call for Nukes'

The call for nuclear weapons is now becoming mainstream within Iranian politics and government-affiliated media, after having been a taboo subject for decades.

There seems to be a significant narrative shift happening.
