I think the main difference is that the US and Gulf states target the IRGCs assets and equipment, whereas Israel targets *them*. The other allies impose attrition and costs while Israel just straight up kills them. Notice how the Houthis have been sitting this out ever since Israel assasinated most of their government with a Blue Sparrow strike. An extended US bombing campaign targeting their equipment didn’t stop them, but the systematic killing of their leaders did.

The reason the regime stopped targeting Israel is simple: Israel hit back hard and imposed significant costs. The reason the regime continues targeting the United States is equally simple: it perceives the U.S. response as weak and timid.

@ZoomerHistorian This is why Jews getting disowned by their progressive gentile social circles accidentally saved our people

On this day in the year 70 the Roman general Titus threw his legions at the walls of Jerusalem, and within days the city and its Temple were gone. Rome had been grinding down the Jewish revolt for years, and Titus had spent months sealing the city off behind siege works of his own, starving everyone trapped inside. The famine by that point was horrific. Our main source is the Jewish historian Josephus, who was actually in the Roman camp, and he describes people fighting over scraps, bodies left unburied in the streets because no one had the strength to move them. Titus threw a wall right around the city so no one could slip out for food, and crucified those his men caught trying. When the assault finally broke through, the fighting rolled all the way to the Second Temple, which was burned and leveled. The Romans carried the sacred treasures back to Rome, and you can still see the great menorah being hauled off in the carvings on the Arch of Titus that stands there today. For Judaism it was a wound that still echoes, mourned every year on the fast of Tisha B'Av.

@SpaceCow1992 @JoJo98105823590 That and he’s also needed to intercept smuggling routes to Hezbollah. There’s no way they’d assassinate him unless something absolutely crazy were to happen

If the Druze are asking Israel to back off a bit in Syria, it might be a good idea
السويداء 24@suwayda24

أصدر أهالي قرية حضر (بريف القنيطرة السوري) بياناً رسمياً أعربوا فيه عن رفضهم الشديد للممارسات الإسرائيلية التي طالت بلدتهم مؤخراً. أبرز نقاط البيان: • الإدانة الرئيسية: استنكار مداهمة الجيش الإسرائيلي لبعض المنازل، وانتهاك حرمات البيوت، وإخافة النساء والأطفال. • قيود الحركة: رفض التحكم المتكرر بطرق التنقل إلى الأراضي الزراعية. • مصادرة الأسلحة: أوضحوا أن الأسلحة الفردية التي يحملها بعض الأبناء هي للدفاع الذاتي عن العرض والأرض والكرامة فقط، وليست للعدوان أو الاستقواء، وأعربوا عن استعدادهم للتخلي عنها إذا ضمنت لهم الدولة حماية كرامتهم وعرضهم. • الدعوة للسلام: أكدوا أن أبناء الطائفة المعروفية (الدروز) دعاة سلام تاريخياً، وينشدون التعايش السلمي والأمن المشترك. • التحذير: حذروا من تكرار هذه الانتهاكات، مشددين على أن استمرارها لن يُقابل بالصمت، بل بدفاع مشروع عن النفس، حتى لو كلف ذلك الأرواح. • نداء لأبناء الطائفة: دعوا أبناء الطائفة في سوريا ولبنان والجولان المحتل وإسرائيل إلى تحمل المسؤولية بوعي وبعد نظر لمعالجة هذه القضايا بما يحفظ الكرامة والسلم الأهلي.

@dorkburger84 Active protection didn’t stop it, it hit the top of the turret right next to the main gun, penetrated that and went through the armor above the drive

@JacobL1994_ T72s are pretty impressive pieces of hardware in their own right. An Almas ATGM Penetrates 700mm of RHA! Active protection is hella cool, because without it there is no tank in the world that could survive a top attack from one

The Merkava is just an insane tank. A vehicle in my friends company took a top attack hit from an Almas ATGM and drove away with minor injuries to the driver. In a T-72 they’d have been promoted to cosmonaut if you get what I mean. You *can* destroy a Merkava of course, it’s just really really hard.

@oteycoueye I know a tank commander who gained a lot of weight during the Gaza War. In his telling it’s a lot of sitting, shooting, and eating a lot of chips and bissli in the breaks between.

There were also a few times lately where their guys who got cut off and surrounded opted to go down fighting, but again that’s really not their preferred outcome if they can avoid it

From what I understand they still have them, they just prefer to use FPV drones whenever possible because it minimizes their exposure. For all the talk of Hezbos being the masters of close combat, that’s not actually how they like to fight at all. They like to keep to standoff ranges with ATGMs, drones, rocket artillery, etc. There’s really only been a couple times that I know of where they really dug in and tenaciously attempted to hold territory- Bint Jbiel, Ali Taher, Khaim, and when they ambushed those SF guys in late 2024- and in all those occasions that only happened because their standoff strikes were unable to prevent IDF from pushing to close contact. To clarify, it’s not like I hold that against them, that’s a smart way to fight, but it’s in complete contrast to their propaganda.

@JacobL1994_ I now realize that the Almas seems to have completly dissapeared from. Hezbolahs arsenal, I remeber it was their go to weapon in 2024

@david_lisovtsev Ukraine of course has to do what they need to do to survive, but unrest and food riots in the MENA could potentially have negative security implications for Israel

IRGC needs cash, that’s what it wanted from the MOU, and they correctly understood that they’re not going to get any of it, that 60 days of negotiations that can be renewed infinitely with no guarantees and with sanctions in place was not granting them any sort of chance of repositioning themselves and good luck releasing "frozen funds" from countries they’ve just hit. Strait of Hormuz is the only card they have left and they’re also exhausting it. They are not in a good place.

Maybe everyone should stop trying to apply so much of their own real world ethics and morality to what is fundamentally a game of toy soldiers and lore meant to maximize the amount of cool scenarios for them to fight

@levantophile Syrian Druze in Quneitra have voiced official complains about heavy handed tactics used by Israeli troops recently. So I’m a little concerned about that

Sheikh Amin al-Sayegh, the highest-ranking Druze spiritual authority in the world, has called on the Druze community in Lebanon to attend an event at his residence tomorrow commemorating the first anniversary of the beginning of the Suwayda massacres. It is worth noting that the Druze community has three distinct forms of leadership: 1. Traditional political leadership. These are secular, historically feudal families, such as the Jumblatts and the Arslans, who have traditionally led the Druze in political affairs in Lebanon. 2. Neo-feudal political-religious dynasties. These include families like the Tarifs in Israel and the Hijris in Suwayda. Unlike Mount Lebanon, these regions had no tradition of feudal rule, so these families emerged to exercise political influence and passed authority down through hereditary dynasties resembling feudal houses. Because they are always religiously initiated, they effectively occupy a dual political-religious role. However, they are not necessarily the most senior spiritual figures, and their authority is fundamentally more political and social than religious. Contrary to popular belief, Druze are under no religious obligation to follow these leaders, any more than they are obliged to follow the Jumblatts. Indeed, Suwayda has traditionally had three rival families occupying this role in different parts of the region: the Hijris, the Hinnawis, and the Jarbouhs. 3. The genuine spiritual hierarchy. The highest rank of spiritual authority is reserved for those who are granted the circular white turban by consensus. They may come from any family, as this is a purely spiritual, non-hereditary distinction. There are usually only a handful of such sheikhs alive at any given time, and Sheikh Amin has held this rank longer than any of his contemporaries. Crucially, they are generally apolitical except during moments of existential crisis. Across political divides, Druze look to them for guidance, and their words carry significant moral and religious weight. Given this tradition of quietism, it is noteworthy that Sheikh Amin has spoken out more frequently on political matters over the past year, particularly because his position has often differed from, and subtly critiqued, that of Walid Jumblatt. Calling for a commemoration at his own residence in the village of Sharoun, while Jumblatt will not be holding one at his residence in Moukhtara, is another such subtle rebuke. Sheikh Amin has largely advocated a middle path, and I get the sense that many Lebanese Druze have increasingly found themselves in that same position: rejecting unconditional support for Damascus while Druze are being massacred, while also opposing efforts to sever the Druze from their cultural and religious roots in the Arab and Muslim worlds.

@JacobL1994_ It’s as meaningful as any other Lebanon or Gaza deal. It won’t result in anything and previous deals have had an explosive end. The ships that are getting through are thanks to Iran not striking them, you know it’s not sustainable to remain like this

3 things: 1: Israel battered the hell out of Irans medium range missile production line. Most of what they have left are short ranged missiles which can’t reach Israel. 2: the Gulfies are far more vulnerable because of their fragile exposed oil infrastructure 3: Israel is chomping at the bit for an excuse to assassinate what’s left of Irans leadership and knock out critical energy infrastructure. If Iran attacks again, Israel will likely finish off their remaining leadership and destroy Kharg island. Irans offensive options against Israel are basically toast at this point. Their only hope is to use their leverage against the gulf states to get time and money to rebuild Hezbollah and their medium range ballistic missile program to restore their capabilities against Israel. That’s what they hoped to do with the MOU, but they were retarded and blew it completely.

Channel 12 report: Israeli officials assess that Iran does not currently intend to strike Israel, believing such an attack could return the war to full intensity and cause the controlled escalation to spiral out of control. An Israeli source said: “We all hope to be proven wrong in the assessment and that Iran will make the mistake. The Americans know that we want to complete our missions in Iran. We will get involved only if the Americans bring us into it, or if the Iranians do.”
