NEW Footage Of IDF Soldier Sacrificing Himself To Save Hostages

NEWS: 2 AH-64D Apache Longbow helicopters spotted over Dubai, this is to allegedly a move to intercept aerial threats. Unconfirmed reports. Source: @GeoPWatch

@JoeTruzman The "driver noticing" does not affect the outcome. That is an EFP, it's effectiveness comes from higher distances within a certain threshold.

Hamas published some of Karim Arja's (deceased) exploits during the war. In one scene Arja attempts to detonate a mine under an IDF tank. Apparently, the driver notices and moves before the mine detonated. Other exploits shown include Arja handling an explosive-laden drone.

An RAF "P-8A Poseidon" ASUW Aircraft of callsign FALCON01 is conducting intelligence gathering on Iran from north-eastern Saudi Arabia.

An IDF "M113 Zelda Pikud" C2 Node for an Artillery position struck by an FPV drone on the 22nd on April in southern Lebanon's Bayada.

#NEW "CN-235" Aircraft of the US State Department appears to have canceled it's intended landing to Iraq's Kurdistan's "Sulaymaniyah" Airport.

The Drone struck the tank's top slat armor, yet the HEAT jet penetrated it's path towards the Ammo rack in the rear of the turret, cooking it off.

Hezbollah has published footage of the targeting and destruction of an IDF "Merkava IV(M)" Tank using a Fiber-Optic FPV drone fitted with a "PG-7-VL-AT-1" Projectile in southern Lebanon's 'Qantara' on the 27th of April. Coordinates: 33.27155833, 35.45500556

@T_90_M_2024 @JBrund2279 @combobulato Incorrect, it is very much the same strike. I presume it's 33.081701, 35.256841

@archivalpercy @JBrund2279 @combobulato I had already seen this, but it's another drone strike in another place. No ammo carrier in sight here.

Hezbollah has a very short window of time to cause severe casualties to IOF before they adapt to drone warfare. Why wasn't the ammo dump targeted, despite it being conveniently close to both the M109 SPG and M548 carrier?

@T_90_M_2024 @JBrund2279 @combobulato There is more footage displaying at least 2 completely destroyed "M109", and theres some 155mm cartridges spread out in the image you posted. What was struck by a drone to begin with was an "M109", triggering a series of explosions that also took out that "M548", per Hezb.

@JBrund2279 @combobulato Hiw do you know this is the same event?

@yossarial @Pataramesh MANPADS until now. Things like 9K38, QW2, etc.

@Pataramesh What kinds of systems is Hezbollah using here?

🇮🇱 Hermes drones are experiencing the same fate as early-2020's hyped Bayraktar TB2 over Ukraine ➡️ An originally non-expendable asset becoming a expendable one

@CaptivatedJeff @Pataramesh hundreds... No, it was a little over half of that before 2023. How many were shot down since then? 48+?

@Pataramesh The IAF has well over a hundred Hermes 450's lol, losing like 5 to Hezb over a couple of months is not at all a big deal like you are trying to make it out to be.

@dbates71 @AryJeayBackup Not that i believe the reports but what matters from a recovered MOP is the principles of penetration, this could and would be given to its allies of course, Russia and China.

@AryJeayBackup Iran doesn't have an aircraft that could use the GBU-57.

According to reports, 15 unexploded heavy American missiles & ordnance inside Iran, were transferred to “technical and research units” for “reverse engineering”. Among the heavy missiles/bombs that Iran fully recovered is a GBU-57 bunker buster bomb.

@Osint613 taking revenge on inanimate objects, great IQ test.

IDF forces in Bint Jbeil destroyed the building where Lt. Col. Roy Klein and 7 IDF soldiers were killed in 2006.

@Mid_East_OSINT @cym27s Are you genuinely forreal? the missile was launched over 2 weeks ago. This crashed this morning. Does it take a cruise missile 2 weeks to arrive to Zahle?

Earlier this morning, a Hezbollah cruise missile crashed in Zahle. Locals initially believed it was a failed SAM launch, but based on debris and the whistle in the footage, it appears to be a Paveh-type cruise missile.

@Rurik_Varangian @KingBra43604111 @alzafir_999 @hamzattar @GadAllah_K @samerkassisT55 The number includes repeated attacks on the same assets.

@KingBra43604111 @archivalpercy @alzafir_999 @hamzattar @GadAllah_K @samerkassisT55 Where does it say 1,600? (which is close to the entire active tanks number lmao)

عندما يتم الحديث عن خسائر الدبابات لدى الجيش الاسرائلي، منذ بداية المعارك العام ٢٠٢٣، في غزة ولبنان، يتكلم البعض عن أرقام بالمئات ان لم يكن اكثر. بغض النظر عن صحة الارقام، سنقوم بعملية حسابية بسيطة، تعتمد على ركائز معروفة، ثابتة. يتألف لواء الدبابات الاسرائيلي من ثلاث كتائب، وكل كتيبة تتألف من ثلاث سرايا. نعرض رسم تفصيلي عن هيكلية السرية المدرعة الإسرائيلية الحديثة، والتي تتألف من ٤ فصائل، كل فصيل دبابتين، إضافة الى دبابتي قيادة. وهكذا، السرية عشر دبابات، والكتيبة ٣٠ دبابة، واللواء ٩٠، وبافضل الحالات ١٠٠ دبابة يتألف سلاح الدبابات الاسرائيلي، من أربعة ألوية في الخدمة الفعلية (حوالي ٤٠٠ دبابة Merkava 4) ، وسبعة ألوية احتياط (حوالي ٧٠٠ دبابة بمعظمها Merkava 3 الاقدم) ، علما ان قسما كبيرا من دبابات ميركافا ٣ قد تم تنفيته، وقسم معروض للبيع لقبرص والمغرب. وعليه، الأفضل عدم استعمال ارقاما للخسائر تتعدى المجموع العام للخسائر، كي لا تبدوا ارقاما "ترفيهية" . شكرا لمتابعتكم. #خسائر_الدبابات_الاسرائيلية #idf_destroyed_tanks #idf_armored_corps

@Rurik_Varangian @alzafir_999 @hamzattar @GadAllah_K @samerkassisT55 ?? 😂 Elaborate. If you're trying to bring up Trophy APS just stay quiet

@archivalpercy @alzafir_999 @hamzattar @GadAllah_K @samerkassisT55 Most of them were not actually struck

@Rurik_Varangian @alzafir_999 @hamzattar @GadAllah_K @samerkassisT55 at least 1,600 Merkavas were struck during those 2-3 years, most of them by PG-7VR munitions, others by EFPs capable of 650+mm of RHA pen, and others by literal MK82 detonations. How is the figure exactly hard to believe?

@alzafir_999 @hamzattar @GadAllah_K @samerkassisT55 LMAO these fantasies...

In the eastern axis, the IDF continues to clear through 'Qantara', after the capture of 'Taybeh', attempting to cross the "Litani" river, to then be struck by artillery fire and forced to halt. No updates in 'Khiam', though ranged attacks on IDF units in the town continued. [4]

Similarly, the IDF is attempting to capture 'Aainata' through flanking from several directions. Heavy engagements have been taking place. [3]

The IDF is closing into the second frontline in southern Lebanon. [1]
