🚨BREAKING: Following multiple reports, we were finally able to confirm this fire to be located in Tripoli, Lebanon. We do not know if this an Israeli airstrike. If it is, it would signal a SIGNIFICANT escalation, as Tripoli is in North Lebanon, very far from the Israeli border.

🚨BREAKING: ISRAEL TO ALLOW AID INTO GAZA Following discussions with the US and Egypt, Israel has finally allowed for Humanitarian Aid to enter Gaza. They will also allow foreign nationals to be evacuated through Egypt. The Rafah Border Crossing between the Gaza and Egypt will be Opening tomorrow at 9am.

🚨🚨BREAKING: IRAN DRAWS THEIR RED LINE IN APPARENT HISTORIC COMMUNICATION | SEEMINGLY ABANDON HAMAS 'Iran’s armed forces will not engage Israel provided it does “not dare to attack Iran, its interests, nationals' - Iran’s UN mission. If true, this is the FIRST TIME IN HISTORY Iran contacts Israel via the UN, and this is GREAT NEWS for the world. Source: Al Arabia & Sky News MY THOUGHTS: This is a clear indication by Iran that THEY WILL NOT ENTER THE WAR, essentially abandoning Hamas. This is in line with Hezbollah Spokesperson's comments today: Sunday’s increase in the intensity of the exchanges doesn’t indicate Hezbollah has decided to fully enter into the Hamas-Israel war. The fighting on the border is “only skirmishes” and represents a “warning.” This is the best news we've seen to date, especially for Lebanon and Israel, but very bad news for Hamas. BREAKING UPDATE: The Iranian ambassador to Iraq denies the above is an official UN communication, but an answer to a journalist.

🚨LEBANON AND ISRAEL CLASHES ESCALATE Despite Iran's statement earlier distancing themselves, and Hezbollah's statement saying they did NOT enter the war, clashes continue: - Israel shells and airstrikes Hezbollah targets - Israeli jets fly over Lebanese capital - Hezbollah is currently launching mortars towards Metula in Northern Israel.

🚨JUST IN: Palestinian President Criticizes Hamas | Demands For Release Of Hostages "The policies and actions of Hamas do not represent the Palestinian people" President Abbas also calls for the release of hostages and prisoners, during a phone call with his Venezuelan counterpart, This is a clear position Abbas is further distancing himself from Hamas, likely knowing their days are numbered. This also came within minutes from Iran's statement, stating they will not get involved in the war unless attacked.

🚨JUST IN: ISRAELI JETS HEARD ABOVE BEIRUT, LEBANON Note: This could be a show of force, or an incoming strike on Syria. If they do strike deep into Lebanese territory, this would be a very serious escalation.

🚨HEZBOLLAH ESCALATES | ISRAEL RESPOND Israeli Spokesperson: Hezbollah are escalating attacks on the border with Israel. They are doing this to disrupt the counteroffensive in Gaza. If needs be, Israel is prepared to fight on two fronts or more to achieve our objectives and defend our country. Source: Sky News

🚨JUST IN - IRAN PRESIDENT: "If the killing of the people of Gaza does not stop, this will COMPLICATE matters and EXPAND the scope of the crisis." MY THOUGHTS: Israel has decided to 'eliminate' Hamas, and the world seems to have given their greenlight, or at least accepted this fate. The ball is now in Iran's court on how to respond. IF Iran does respond, it will be through their ally/proxy Hezbollah. This will almost certainly drag the U.S and expand the war into a wider regional conflict. Although unlikely, this is still a very possible scenario that the U.S and Israel are preparing for. What everyone is trying to figure out right now: WHAT IS IRAN'S RED LINE WHEN IT COMES TO GAZA AND HAMAS?

🚨Why is Hezbollah attacking Israeli cameras, thermal radars, motion detectors and warning systems on the Lebanese border today? t.co/cwXvjFdbSG

🚨ANALYSIS: U.S PREPARING TO ENTER ISRAEL-GAZA WAR? A massive Naval Feel in the Israel-Lebanon-Gaza region includes: - 2 Aircraft Carriers USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN-69) - 2 Ticonderoga-Class Cruisers USS Normandy (CG-60) USS Philippines Sea (CG-58) - 7 Arleigh Burke-Class Destroyers USS Thomas Hudner (DDG-116) USS Ramage (DDG-61) USS Carney (DDG-64) USS Roosevelt (DDG-80) USS Laboon (DDG-58) USS Mason (DDG-87) USS Gravely (DDG-107) - 1 Type-45 Air Defense Destroyer HMS Duncan (D-37) - 5 Frigates ESPS Méndez Núñez (F-104) FS Surcouf (F-711) ITS Carlo Margottini (F-592) TCG Yavuz (F-240) HS Psara (F-454) - 2 Landing Support Ships RFA Lyme Bay RFA Argus We may also see Submarines, Supply Ships, Aircraft and other Surface Ships join the fleet in the region. In a post by @sentdefender, he states that this looks “more than just Posturing for an Israeli Invasion of Gaza.” Is the U.S military preparing to join the war, possibly in response to an inevitable entry by Hezbollah and/or Iran?

🚨BREAKING: Hezbollah Has NOT Entered The War | However Things ARE Escalating With all the false reports claiming Hezbollah has joined the war, this is FALSE. What we're seeing now is small skirmishes on the border, either symbolic in nature, or a warning to Israel. Hezbollah spokeswoman, Rana Sahili, made this clear earlier today: Sunday’s increase in the intensity of the exchanges doesn’t indicate Hezbollah has decided to fully enter into the Hamas-Israel war. The fighting on the border is “only skirmishes” and represents a “warning.” Former Israeli Defense Minister, Yitzhak Mordechai, reaffirmed this point by saying: "Hezbollah has an interest in diverting attention" If Hezbollah does enter, it will be through a sudden, unexpected barrage of missiles towards Israel, beyond the border region. Although unlikely, this is still a very possible scenario, and it will signal a VERY serious escalation in the war, likely involving the U.S, and dragging Lebanon into the war. Hezbollah's involvement also increases the risk, which is currently still low, of Iran getting directly involved. However, one should be concerned as things continue to escalate. A few minutes ago, we got reports from the Israeli Army that militants, likely Hezbollah, shot down cameras installed on the border fence with Lebanon. This is concerning, as it could indicate plans to enter Israel. Skirmishes are expected. What we're looking for is small subtle indicators that Hezbollah could be planning to join the war. Be careful though, in the fog of war, everyone is on edge. Some people take advantage of the situation by publishing misinformation, either to advance their agenda, or to gain clout.

🚨BREAKING: Israeli Army planes are targeting Hezbollah's military infrastructure in Lebanon, amid ongoing armed clashes on the border.

🚨 JUST IN: CLASHES ON ISRAELI LEBANESE BORDER INTENSIFY Reports just came in of 20-30 rockets fired from Lebanon to Israel. Israel requests residents located 9 kilometers from the Lebanese border to enter shelters immediately This adds to the escalating tensions, despite U.S efforts to de-escalate the region and keep the war contained to Gaza. Statements from Hezbollah, discussing today’s attacks on Israel: - "n continuation of the response to the killing and wounding of journalists in Alma al-Shaab and civilians in Shebaa, the Mujahideen of the Islamic Resistance attacked the Israeli Hanita barracks with guided missiles." - "This attack led to the injury of two Merkava tanks and a tracked personnel carrier, with casualties among the enemy army."

🚨 JUST IN: US National Security Advisor On Iran & Hezbollah Involvement | Funding Israel - "It cannot be ruled out that Iran will choose to engage directly in some way - We have no information that the threat on the ground is different today, and there is a risk of the conflict escalating - We are concerned about proxy forces, Lebanese Hezbollah and Iran - The Biden administration is doing everything it can to make sure the conflict does not escalate and is contained in Gaza. - We are focused on getting people out of Gaza to safe areas, not in northern or southern Gaza. - We expect intense activity with Congress regarding a funding package for Ukraine and continued support for Israel - The safety of civilians and their access to food and water must be respected by Israel, the United Nations, and regional countries" Source: CBS
