Hezbollah Supporters Embarrassed - Israel Continues Daily Operations Against Hezbollah, and Hezbollah Remains Silent
On December 2, a week after the ceasefire, Hezbollah launched two rockets at an IDF position, citing Israeli violations. They detailed the violations in an official statement:
"Firing on civilians, airstrikes across Lebanon, resulting in deaths and injuries, and ongoing violations of Lebanese airspace by Israeli aircraft, reaching Beirut."
Hezbollah added there would be no further warning.
The Reality Since December 2:
1. Casualties: At least 20 dead.
2. Injuries: Numerous injuries.
3. Airspace Violations: Frequent.
4. IDF Operations: The IDF has expanded operations in southern Lebanon and is destroying buildings.
And no one is saying a word...
This strengthens Israel's victory in regional public opinion. Hezbollah supporters on social media are filled with embarrassment, facing an unexpected reality.
Hezbollah's warning was and is meaningless...

The Palestinians report that today Israel released from Ofer prison about 70 Palestinian detainees who had been imprisoned for many months as part of preventive detentions following October 7th. Among those released is attorney Ahmed Abu Daamus known as "Advisor…
On August 15 👆, East Jerusalem lawyer Ahmed Abu Daamus, also known as Abu Iyad, was released from administrative detention. He has a highly active Telegram channel with over 800,000 followers.
He was arrested at the start of the war for severe incitement against Israel published on his Telegram channel. Since his release, he has resumed managing his channel and continues to spread inciting content. He frequently disseminates false information to encourage the Palestinian population, such as claims about Israeli casualties and rocket strikes.
This evening, he posted the Houthi emoji - a red triangle depicting a Houthi dagger sinking an Israeli ship, just one of many examples.
Abu Iyad has returned to his old ways.

Abu Hader from Deir al-Balah in the center of the Gaza Strip explains how the rumors about Netanyahu's visit to Cairo yesterday influenced cigarette prices in the Gaza Strip.
The IDF attacked Houthi targets in Yemen last night.
Around 2:30 a.m., a Houthi missile was launched toward Israel. Sirens were activated in the center of the country. The missile was intercepted, but fragments from the interceptor hit an empty school building in Ramat Efal, causing significant damage.
Shortly before 3:30 a.m., Arab media outlets reported a widespread IDF attack in Yemen on the following targets:
1. The Haziz central power station in the north of the capital, Sana'a.
2. The D'Habban Central Power Station in the south of the capital, Sanaa.
3. The oil facility in Ras Issa, Hodeidah province.
4. Hodeidah Port.
Following the attacks, 9 deaths and 3 injuries were reported among the workers at the Ras Issa oil facility.
Extensive power outages were also reported in Sana'a and Hodeidah.
##
The the attacks were likely planned weeks in advance. The timing of the launch of the ballistic missile by the Houthis before the attacks/in close proximity to them is, to say the least, interesting.

Israel accepts responsibility for the attacks
Defense Minister Israel Katz following the attacks:
"Tonight we once again attacked strategic targets of the Houthi terrorist organization in Yemen.
I warn the leaders of the Houthi terrorist organization: Israel's long arm will reach you as well. Whoever raises a hand against the State of Israel - his hand will be cut off, whoever harms us - will be harmed sevenfold.
We will not accept missile fire on Israel, nor damage to shipping lanes.
"We will strike with force and will not allow the continuation of the situation of shooting and threats against the State of Israel."
##
His words carry an implicit threat to eliminate senior Houthi figures.

Military correspondent Doron Kadosh with the full details about the attack last night in Yemen:
At 3:15, the first wave of Air Force aircraft began an attack on the coastal area in Yemen - more than 1,700 km from the State of Israel.
At 4:30, a second wave of attacks in the Sana'a area.
14 fighter jets participated in the attack - all returned to Israel safely.
Dozens of bombs were dropped on targets in the port of Hodeidah, the port of Ras Issa, and the port of Salif. In the ports, the tugboats that bring the ships into the port were attacked, crippling their ability to bring tankers and merchant ships to all their ports.
Two targets in Sana'a were also attacked - fuel and oil tanks, and a power plant.
A total of 5 targets were attacked throughout Yemen, each target including dozens of components.
The Houthis have fired more than 200 surface-to-surface (ballistic) missiles and another 170 UAVs since the beginning of the war. The vast majority of them did not reach Israel and were intercepted outside our territory by Israel or the US.
