Hezbollah released footage confirming they struck a second Israeli Iron Dome launcher with an FPV drone on the Israel-Lebanon border.

According to my information, the Israeli and Iranian Air Forces have begun carrying out large-scale training operations and patrols ahead of the Shavuot Jewish Holiday, which some speculate could mark the renewal of attacks against Iran.

Interestingly, both sides' are conducting flights at almost the exact same time. For the last week, Israeli fighter jets have been flying across large parts of Israel and the West Bank, usually at around 3am.

For the last month, Iranian aircraft, including F-4 Phantoms and other fighter jets, have been carrying out training and patrol flights over western Iran, near the border with Iraq, usually at around 3:45am.

Hezbollah released footage showing a series of recent FPV drone strikes on Israeli positions and equipment in the town of Al-Bayada, southern Lebanon, including:

- A Humvee vehicle.
- A group of 3 IDF soldiers.
- A (claimed) Israeli UAV control centre inside a residential building (hit twice).
- (Claimed) Israeli technical equipment.
- A group of Israeli soldiers at a command post.
- A (claimed) Israeli command post.
- An Israeli flagpole.

Most of these drones targeted the same building, reportedly being used by the IDF as a command post. Hezbollah claims that the attacks forced Israel to evacuate the facility.

Last night, Russia attacked the northern suburbs of Kryvyi Rih with at least 5 Geran-2 drones.

🇺🇸🇨🇺⚡- The U.S. has begun preparing plans for a potential military operation in Cuba, two U.S. officials tell CBS News.

"The U.S. intelligence community has been exploring how Cuba might respond to an American military action. Earlier this month, as the U.S. intelligence community tracked the Universal, a sanctioned Russian-flagged oil tanker bound for Cuba, analysts at the Pentagon and Defense Intelligence Agency, the U.S. military's intelligence arm, started to analyze what the Cuban response would be to an American attack on the Caribbean country.

These types of intelligence forecasts attempt not only to show the immediate consequences of an American action, but the chain of reactions that may follow," - CBS News.

Reuters claims that operations at "virtually all" oil refineries in central Russia have been temporarily suspended due to repeated Ukrainian drone attacks.

According to them, the refineries that have suspended operations account for around one-quarter of Russia's total refining capacity, including over 30% for gasoline and approximately 25% for diesel.

Among those reportedly closed is the Kirishi Oil Refinery in Leningrad Oblast, which Reuters claims has been shut for over two weeks after Ukrainian drone attacks on May 5.
