❗️ HEZBOLLAH DRONE ATTACK NEAR MISGAV AM: Two IDF reservists were lightly injured when an explosive-laden drone struck a vehicle near the Lebanon border community of Misgav Am. They were evacuated to a hospital, and their families were notified.
Fire and Rescue teams extinguished a blaze caused by the impact and evacuated two people from the scene in good condition. The IDF is investigating the attack, which it says is “a violation of the ceasefire understandings by the Hezbollah terror group.”
🚀 FPV DRONE THREAT AND IDF RESPONSE: The IDF is working to counter Hezbollah’s fiber-optic FPV drones, which are immune to electronic jamming and have been used repeatedly in attacks on Israeli troops in southern Lebanon and northern Israel.
A military official says systems are being developed and tested, but none are expected to provide a short-term or complete solution. The official says the most effective response would be targeting operators and supply chains, though current ceasefire terms limit action to imminent threats against troops in Lebanon.
The Israeli Air Force has deployed mobile radars to detect the drones and alert forces, who can then attempt to shoot them down. The IAF has also supported interceptions, reporting at least 27 FPV drones downed using the short-range Iron Dome air defense system.
🔸 IRAN RESPONSE AND STRAIT OF HORMUZ WARNING: Iran conveyed its response to the latest U.S. amendments on an agreement to end the war through Pakistani mediators, according to Axios.
The U.S. Department of Treasury warned shipping companies that paying Iran for passage through the Strait of Hormuz exposes them to the risk of sanctions.
⚠️ ISRAELI WARNING ON IRAN URANIUM STOCKPILE: An Israeli military official says failure to remove Iran’s stockpile of more than 400 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60% would render the recent war “one big failure.”
Israeli officials have said the stockpile is sufficient for 11 nuclear bombs. The officer says that if negotiations between the United States and Iran do not produce an agreement to remove the uranium and halt enrichment, the achievements of 40 days of fighting will have been for nothing.
“If the nuclear objective is not achieved, then everything we did in Iran will be one big failure. The evil Iranian regime can pounce on the nuclear program,” the official says.
The officer adds that “if the uranium is removed from Iran through diplomatic means, we have done our part.” If that does not happen, the officer says Israel would need to launch another operation in Iran to achieve the objective.
📡 SYRIA REBUILDING AIR DEFENSE CAPABILITIES: An Israeli Air Force officer told The Jerusalem Post that Syria is gradually rebuilding its military capabilities, including radar and air defenses.
“Syria is gradually rebuilding its military capabilities, including its radar and air defenses. The return of Syrian air defenses could have a significant strategic impact on Israel's security, depending on how far Syria goes and the state of relations between the two countries.”
