The Israeli Air Force carried out another wave of airstrikes against numerous towns and villages across southern Lebanon.

An Israeli assassination drone strike was carried out on a car at an intersection in the city of Deir Al-Balah, central Gaza Strip.

The attempt failed, with the drone-launched missile impacted next to the vehicle. 2 bystanders were lightly injured by the blast wave and treated at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital. There were no deaths.

Siren sounding east of the Gaza Strip.

Likely false alarm. Checking.

Edit: confirmed false alarm.

A short time ago, an interceptor missile was launched from the area of Kiryat Shmona, northeastern Israel, towards an unknown aerial target over southern Lebanon.

The U.S. informed Ukraine of the threat of Russia launching an Oreshnik IRBM at Ukraine, prompting the Ukrainian Air Force to issue a statement saying that there is a “high probability” of an Oreshnik strike taking place today.

Well, I can’t stay up all night monitoring this, but I’ll be with you all tomorrow.

While I probably won’t be able to post as much as usual tomorrow, I’ll keep an eye on this Oreshnik threat thing.

Goodnight!

No launch of Oreshnik IRBMs have been carried out yet, but the threat remains in place for tonight.

— 🇱🇧/🇸🇾/🇮🇱 NEW: In a meeting with Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, Syrian President Ahmad Al-Sharaa urged Lebanon not to negotiate with Israel

He warned Salam of ‘repeating the same mistake as Syria’, which involved granting concessions without receiving guarantees and reciprocal compensation.

Al-Sharaa stated that Israel’s strategy is pushing you toward granting gradual concessions without providing any guarantees, while simultaneously keeping open margins that allow it to expand the scope of its future aggressions.

It only took Jolani 1.5 years to figure that out…

If he isn’t careful there might be a sudden coup in Damascus resulting in a coincidentally Pro-US and Pro-Israel Syrian president, before Jolani has a chance to consolidate power across Syria.

The Iranian Air Force carried out another patrol over western Iran today, near the border with Iraq.

It seems that they are intending to return to their nightly patrols which we saw during April and May.

According to my sources on the ground (ChatGPT) Ukraine has just achieved a decisive breakthrough at Kursk and will be in Moscow by tomorrow.

In addition, Russian-controlled parts of Zaporizhzhia and Luhansk Oblasts, as well as the Taman Oil Terminal in Krasnodar Krai, are under attack.

Ukrainska Pravda reports:

The Ministry of Defense sets a goal for up to 50% of stormtrooper and infantry positions in the Ukrainian army to be held by foreigners.

Source: message from Defense Minister Mikhail Fedorov

Direct speech: "We are opening the market for recruiting foreigners to strengthen combat units and save the lives of Ukrainian military personnel. Our goal is to fill up to 30–50% of stormtrooper and infantry positions with foreigners."

Following the localised collapse of Ukrainian defences in May that led to the current deteriorating situation in Kostyantynivka, Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief Syrskyi dismissed the commanders of the 28th Mechanised Brigade and the 156th Mechanised Brigade.

According to @Thorkill65, the Commander of the 28th Brigade commanded the entire Kostyantynivka defence grouping, which includes all units currently fighting in the city.

On the other hand, the 156th brigade was responsible for holding the Illinivka area, which was where one of the 2 main breaches into Kostyantynivka occurred. Reportedly, this breach into the city occurred due to poorly organised reconnaissance drone operations and a lack of FPV drones allocated to the 156th brigade for strike operations. Additionally, the 156th reportedly had too many poorly trained soldiers that should've been assigned to older brigades, according to a company commander of the brigade.

Furthermore, the status of various positions and strongpoints in and around Kostyantynivka, as well as on neighbouring directions, is being checked, as it is suspected that yet another case of commanders lying to higher-ups about Ukraine holding certain areas taking place. This could explain why Deepstate's map is so behind in this sector.
