— 🇵🇸/🇮🇱 NEW: Al-Qassam Brigades targeted an Israeli 'Humvee' east of Jabalia camp, north of Gaza.

— For the record, 4 of these deaths were Thai 'workers' in Israel. Workers that deliberately chose to work in occupied Palestine, and contributed to the Israeli economy.

No tears shed from my side.

Movements at Iranian missile bases.

I will not be sharing any footage.

Likely not for today btw, just a note.

— 🇫🇷/🇮🇱 NEW: The Paris Commercial Court has reversed a French government ban on Israeli defense firms at the 'Euronaval' arms exhibition in November, ordering organizers to allow their participation.

— ❗️🇮🇷/🇮🇱 Director of the Office of the Supreme Leader of Iran: 'Our response to the Zionist regime will be crushing and painful'

— 🇮🇷 Initially, many media and politicians inside Iran, mostly affiliated with the Reformists and the Pezeshkian government, tried to downplay the Israeli attack and urge for restraint.

Two days after the attack however, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei stated: 'The Israeli attack must neither be exaggerated nor downplayed. The military must decide on an appropriate response.' Since then, the narrative has completely shifted, and a strong response seems almost certain.

This echos a similar experience after the assassination of Ismael Haniyeh in Tehran, when it was President Masoud Pezeshkian that wanted to avoid retaliation, but the Supreme Leader forced his hand, after the United States failed to abide by their promise of reaching a ceasefire in Gaza.
