The UN Security Council (UNSC) decided on Friday to extend the mandate for a peacekeeping force in southern Lebanon by another year but will reduce the number of troops from 15,000 to 13,000.

Israel failed to change the UN forces mandate in #Lebanon:

There was no way for #Israel to reject the renewal of the #UNIFIL mandate. On the contrary, UNIFIL serves Israel's objective - not Hezbollah - even in its current mandate as it is. And of course, the #US just follow.

Read this part of my article that was behind a paywall. Image
To amuse you:

In fact, there are only 10,720 #UNIFIL soldiers and officers in #Lebanon and the number has never reached the 15,000.

So the "minimum presence" and "significant reduction of forces' to 13,000 is a joke and a mockery.

#BreakingNews: Details of the agreement.

1/

A "lasting peace" has been agreed upon between Hamas and Israel, comprising three parts, with continuous negotiations mandated throughout the process. At no point between parts one, two, and three will either party be allowed to resume hostilities.

As part of the agreement, half of the Palestinian prisoners sentenced to life imprisonment will be released, beginning with an initial group of 250 individuals.

The first phase of the agreement involves the complete withdrawal of all Israeli occupation forces from inhabited areas. This includes a full withdrawal from al-Rashid Street and Nitzarim, extending to Salah al-Din Street within the first seven days. Simultaneously, there will be a gradual withdrawal from the Philadelphi Corridor.
2/
On day 50, the Israeli occupation forces will complete their withdrawal from the Philadelphi Corridor. Additionally, on day 7, the process of returning Palestinian refugees to the northern areas of Gaza will commence, under the supervision of Qatar and Egypt.
3/ It was agreed that 600 trucks carrying humanitarian aid will be granted access to Gaza. Additionally, 50 trucks loaded with oil and gas will be permitted entry, alongside other trucks delivering temporary prefabricated houses and tents to accommodate the hundreds of thousands of displaced refugees.

#Yemen is ready to stand with #Gaza stronger than ever. It was part of the plan to accept the consequences and fight against the Israeli crimes even if the #US is doing everything to divert the attention and keep the war ongoing on the children and women of Gaza.
It is laughable for a superpower, the #US, to put itself in a position of being a target by the poorest, but one of the most courageous, country in the Middle East #Yemen.

Let's how the Americans can (fail to) protect Israeli shipments crossing through the Red Sea.
The US will now rush to #Iran and #Oman to send the following messages:

We know we haven't degraded Ansar Allah's capability but we don't want to escalate. We think the case of using 100 bombs on #Yemen is close. We didn't want to look weak.

Well, it doesn't work like that.

#Israel is in crisis:
The army is unable to achieve its objectives.
The cabinet's members want a major role.
The small Cabine members disagree w/ one another over how Netanyahu runs it.
The war cabinet can't stick one another overtly.
All disagree w/ Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi.
Chief of Staff Halevi appointed a committee to evaluate the mistakes of the 7th for October, upsetting the political leadership.

The settlers around #Gaza and on the Lebanese borders won't return because they have lost trust in the army and government.
Loss of economy reached $18 billion and is expected to reach $58 billion.

More than 600.000 Israelis left for their country of origin in 2023.

The domestic front realises that #Hamas is capable of launching missiles as on day one and battle in #Gaza intensifies.

Israel killed Yasser Arafat, Sheikh Ahmad Yassin, Fathi Shiqaqi, and Abu Ali Mustafa, and the Palestinian resistance became stronger than ever. One of the martyrs assassinated with Sheikh Saleh Al-Aruri in #Beirut was Samir Fandi, al-Qassam's official representative in #Lebanon and abroad. He had been at the top of the #Israel assassination list for quite some time for his military role abroad.
Among the #Hamas commanders assassinated by #Israel in #Beirut were 3 Lebanese. #Lebanon, through its army, people and resistance, has the official right to respond and hold Israel accountable for its crimes.
#Israel PM @Netanyahu aimed for a folkloric victory to reconstruct his image & cover his failure to achieve his objectives to defeat #Hamas & free the prisoners. No victory in #Gaza, apart from destroying the Strip & killing children & women. Netanyahu is enlarging the conflict.

Those killed in #Israel are innocent.
There are no innocents in #Gaza.

The children of Israel are innocent victims.
The children of Gaza are terrorists.

The women of Israel are innocent civilians.
The women of Gaza are mothers of terrorists.
#Hamas carried out terrorist attacks against Israeli settlers.

#Israel is responsible for unfortunate casualties considered collateral damage.

Hamas should be destroyed and is hiding behind civilians.

Israel has the right to defend itself and to bomb hospitals, schools, homes.
#Israel killed thousands of Palestinians. We are aware, deeply concerned and call for all parties to refrain from escalating.

#Hamas killed innocent Israel and should be totally eliminated and with it the people of #Gaza.

Simple equation:

If #Israel destroys villages in southern #Lebanon, #Hezbollah will destroy #Haifa.

If Israel bombs #Beirut or its suburbs, Hezbollah will destroy Tel Aviv and all energy platforms, including ports and airports.
If #Israel relies on the #US, the Iraqi resistance has prepared to bomb and destroy all military bases in #Iraq.

So far, the Iraqi resistance has been asked to limit its attacks. But it has more precision missiles than Hezbollah to deal with US bases.
Remember, there are Pakistani, Afghan and other partners in the 'Axis of Resistance', all well trained and equipped with precision missiles.

As far as I know, they can all be brought into the fight, depending on how far #Israel wants to drag the #US into it.
