I have just received the operational SITREP for Lebanese border offensive and things are not looking good 😔😢

Debating whether I should reveal it or not cos I have not read anything like it in my 22 years at IDF

💔🇮🇱

Ok here goes nothing

A 🧵 of Lebanese offensive SITREP

1/n

• Operational effectiveness is extremely low due to high casualty rates, unprecedented cases of disobedience of officers' orders, attempts of desertion and extremely low morale

2/n

•Hezbollah operatives on the other hand are, in some cases, even better equipped compared to our special forces. Using new, never seen before IEDs. Organised and impossible to detect. In one case, they were using loudspeaker to mock our special forces holed in their position
3/n

• Over 300 confirmed dead and injured IDF soldiers sustained over the past 48 hours. Hezb has launched several successful ambushes resulting in high fatalities, particularly within our Special Forces.

4/n

• Morale has hit rock bottom with combat troops questioning and doubting command decisions and the viability of their mission. Around 1,400 soldiers unaccounted for (presumed to have fled the area).

5/n

• Wounded evacuation is extremely challenging due to Hezb controlling the entire area. Command structure is devastated due to numerous officer fatalities, desertion, soldiers' unwillingness to follow orders and disillusionment among the soldiers re mission viability

6/n

• One particular incident caught my eye where a special services unit refused to obey command orders to launch a counter offensive, after witnessing massive fatalities suffered by the lead unit. *This I have never heard in 22 years of IDF service*

7/n

• Hezb has taken the initiative and stepped up their attacks, sensing low morale, fragmentation and internal chaos amongst our soldiers. At one point, some commanders believed that the Russian Spetsnaz were fighting alongside Hezb soldiers but it was later dispelled.

8/n

• The operation is in critical state and without decisive correctional measures (or a miracle), the probability of a total collapse is extremely high.

*Hezb is nearing a strategic victory and I don't have to tell you how catastrophic it would be for Israel*

9/n 💔🇮🇱😞
