.3/ This is only in #Ahwaz, southwest of #Iran & the first leg of #Solaimani’s funeral procession. I can’t even begin to imagine what it would be like once they arrive to the capital #Tehran.
.4/ Even in his death #Soleimani’s popularity drew far more in numbers than @realDonaldTrump managed alive during his inauguration.
Close up, clearer scenes from #Soleimani’s funeral cortège in #Ahwaz (#Ahvaz) city.

#Iran
.7/ In what is turning out to be the largest ever funeral in the history of #Iran, probably since that of #AyatollahKhomeini, #Soleimani’s funeral cortège, now on its second leg of the journey, will also head to #Tehran, then #Qom & finally 2 his resting place & hometown #Kerman.
.8/ SIGNIFICANT:
#Iran pulls out of the nuclear deal, in effect ending its remaining commitments to the 2015 agreement, & in doing so delivering
the second blow to the #US today, following #Iraq ’s vote to ask #US forces to leave #Iraq.

Though it’s all but dead, #Iran has not pulled out of the nuclear deal.

IMPORTANT: Hezbollah hit “Sky Dwe”

IDF confirms #Hezbollah managed to hit a sensitive military facility in the Lower Galilee with an explosive drone on Wednesday evening, where a giant missile-detecting blimp, known as Sky Dew, is operated.

This marked Hezbollah’s deepest strike in #Israel amid some 35 kilometers (21 miles) from the #Lebanon border.Image

#Hezbollah publishes video showing scenes of its reconnaissance mission of the Sky Dew, #Israel’s largest spy balloon, & the two Kamikaze drones used to target.
The video also shows what appears to be the aftermath of the strikes against the balloon.
Video of technical information on the Sky balloon…
It can remain in surveillance for weeks (60 days) without the need for fuel or crew replacement.
It is capable of tracking up to 500 targets with a detection range of over 250 km.
Average unit cost $175-230M a unit, and the development project costs around 2.8 billion
The giant blimps were attacked by two suicide drones costing an estimated $20,000.

An interesting article worth reading:
#Israeli media Haaretz:
#Israel's successful raid to rescue two hostages from #Rafah on Monday morning wasn't the operation Benjamin #Netanyahu had in mind, but there are no signs that a big IDF operation is imminent – no matter what the prime minister says.
The successful Israeli special forces raid to rescue two hostages from Rafah is not the Rafah operation Netanyahu has been talking up in recent days.
These are two very different operations in terms of scale, the type of military units involved & their objective. The big Rafah operation Netanyahu has been openly discussing will include entire brigades & last for weeks, if not months.

IMPORTANT:
Lebanon’s #Al_Akhbar newspaper published the full text of the response to the #Paris proposal that #Hamas delivered to Qatari & Egyptian mediators earlier today
The 3-page long response, to reach a hostage/ceasefire deal, outlines a 3-stage deal, guaranteed by Egypt, Qatar, Turkey, Russia, & the UnitedNations.
Both the #American & #Israeli sides received a copy of the 3-page-long response, including amendments to the “Framework Agreement” proposal, in addition to a special appendix of guarantees & demands aimed at stopping the aggression & addressing its affects.
First stage : 45 days
Described as the humanitarian phase & aims to:
—release all Israeli detainees, women & children (under the age of 19, not conscripts), the elderly & the sick, in exchange for a specific number of Palestinian prisoners (defined in the detailed appendix at the end.)
— intensifying humanitarian aid & repositioning (IOF) forces outside populated areas.
— allowing the start of reconstruction & the rebuilding of all hospitals, homes & facilities in all areas of the Gaza Strip & allowing entry of necessities to set up camps & shelters to home the population.
— the resumption of all humanitarian services provided by the United Nations & its agencies according to the following:
- A temporary cessation of military operations & a cessation of aerial reconnaissance
— a redeployment of Israeli forces far & outside the populated areas in the entire Gaza Strip, to be aligned alongside the dividing line, in order to enable the parties to complete the exchange of detainees and prisoners.
—The two sides will release Israeli detainees, women & children (under the age of 19, not conscripts), the elderly, & the sick, in exchange for a number of Palestinian prisoners, provided that this is carried out during this stage in a way that ensures the release of all persons whose names are included in previously agreed upon lists.
—Intensifying the daily entry of humanitarian aid quantities necessary & sufficient to meet the needs of the population (to be determined) including fuel, & the like,
— allowing the arrival of appropriate quantities of humanitarian aid to all areas in the Gaza Strip, including the north of the Strip, & the return of the displaced to their places of residence in all areas of the sector.

Do read this important & interesting article in #Haaretz:
“Hezbollah is believed to be the first to use precise antitank missiles to target civilian structures. Dozens of #Israeli buildings have taken direct hits - and now even towns that were not evacuated are within firing range.
“Since October 7, #Hezbollah has fired mortars and rockets, as well as incessant artillery, at #IDF outposts and border communities. But what particularly stands out in the current round of fighting is the high proportion of antitank missiles fired from #Lebanon. Hezbollah's use of this precision weapon, especially against civilian targets, is unprecedented in Israel and perhaps the world.
“The list of communities hit by antitank missiles and the damage to civilian infrastructure is long and spreads along the entire length of the Lebanese border. Haaretz has obtained figures indicating that scores of homes, public buildings, chicken coops, businesses and vehicles have been hit by this fire in the moshavim Avivim, Dovev, Zar'it and Shtula, and the kibbutzim Misgav Am and Sasa, and other communities.

#Israel’s security establishment and the State Attorney's Office are concerned that the International Court of Justice at the #Hague will charge Israel with genocide in the #Gaza Strip – this at the request of #SouthAfrica, which petitioned the court over the weekend.
#Haaretz has learned that a senior legal expert dealing with the matter has in recent days warned #IDF brass, including Chief of Staff #Herzl_Halevi, that there is real danger that the court will issue an injunction calling on #Israel to halt its fire, noting that Israel is bound by the court's rulings.
In its appeal to the court, #SouthAfrica claimed that #Israel is committing genocide in #Gaza and is not acting to punish those inciting to genocide.
It accused Israel of "indiscriminate use of force and forcible removal of residents," and it claimed that among the reported Israeli actions are "crimes against humanity and war crimes."
It also claimed that some of these actions meet the basic definition of genocide.

A letter from a friend in #Gaza:
“I don’t know whether my letter will reach you & I was hesitant to write it. But then again, I feel it’s is my duty & obligation to convey the pain & steadfastness of our people in #Gaza & to let our loved ones in the world, who are worried about us, know that we are fine & to relay some of the scenes.
“Gaza now reflects pride, dignity, nobility, and patience. These are what the Gazan people have been about throughout history.
But the situation now, is more than disastrous and beyond a catastrophic Nakba.
Still, by god’s grace and because of God’s grace and mercy upon us, our resolve is very, very, very high.
He strengthened the hearts & endurance of the families of the martyrs & those wounded, gave them peace, & inflicted conflict, disagreement & strife within the enemy’s leadership.
