💥🇱🇧 TERRORIST INFILTRATES FROM LEBANON INTO ISRAEL

📍 RAMIM RIDGE AREA
(NEAR MISGAV AM, MENARA & MARGALIOT)

👉 A terrorist infiltrated from Lebanon into Israeli territory after crossing the border fence.
👉 The terrorist approached an IDF position and opened fire on Israeli forces.
👉 IDF soldiers immediately returned fire and neutralized the terrorist.
👉 No Israeli soldiers or civilians were injured.

🚨 SECURITY RESPONSE

👉 Large IDF ground forces, including special units, were deployed throughout the area.
👉 Israeli Air Force aircraft assisted extensive searches for possible additional infiltrators.
👉 The “Night Knight B” emergency protocol was activated.
👉 Residents of Misgav Am, Menara and Margaliot were instructed to remain indoors until further notice.

⚠️ WHY THIS MATTERS

👉 This incident serves as another reminder that the threat from the Lebanese border remains active despite ongoing military pressure on Hezbollah.
👉 Israeli security forces continue investigating whether the terrorist acted alone or as part of a larger infiltration attempt.

Brigadier General @Amir_Avivi breaks down what’s going on in this powerful briefing:

📌 Hezbollah is in an existential crisis — thousands of terrorists eliminated, infrastructure shattered, and even Lebanese society turning against them.
📌 Iran intervened out of desperation to save its proxy, but Israel cannot be deterred.
📌 Israel took action in Lebanon and is ready to renew large-scale action against Iran if needed.
📌 The blockade on Iranian ports continues to cripple their economy while the regime clings to its nuclear ambitions.

Israel will defend itself decisively and is prepared for the next phase.

[John Spencer @SpencerGuard]

The lack of common sense shared standards when dealing with Israel never ceases to amaze me. Iran-backed Hezbollah, a terror army inside Lebanon, has fired over 1,000 rockets at northern Israel despite the April 2026 ceasefire. This again forced tens of thousands of Israeli citizens to evacuate their homes or live daily running to shelters. This is not Lebanon confronting Israel. It is a terror group that Lebanon, despite repeated promises and UN resolutions, does not control and cannot control. No other nation would accept this or be told to just take it. Israel responded by striking the terror organization. Then Iran launched 11 ballistic missiles directly at Israel, massively violating the ceasefire with the U.S. and Israel. Yet somehow Israel is the one constantly told to show restraint.

The whole of the United Kingdom is hitting the streets tonight at 7pm following yet another invader attack on our people.

⚔️ The Few Against the Many

📣The region remains locked in a controlled cycle of retaliation under the fragile post-April ceasefire framework.

📣 While a return to the full-scale February–March war has not occurred, tensions remain high around the Strait of Hormuz, #Iran, and the #Lebanon front.

🇺🇸💥 U.S. STRIKES IRAN

📍 Southern Iran
📅 June 9–10 Overnight

📣 Following the downing of a U.S. Army Apache helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz, U.S. forces launched a series of retaliatory strikes against approximately 20 military targets across southern Iran.

🎯 Targets included:

📍 Bandar Abbas
💥 Air defense systems destroyed
💥 Radar and surveillance facilities struck
💥 IRGC Navy command elements targeted
💥 Multiple explosions reported

📍 Qeshm Island
💥 Missile batteries hit
💥 Naval assets targeted
💥 Coastal radar installations struck
💥 Telecommunications infrastructure damaged

📍 Sirik
💥 Military and naval facilities targeted

💥 Multiple explosions reported
💥 Water infrastructure damaged in the Bemani district

📍 Jask
💥 Naval bases targeted
💥 Military facilities struck in repeated attack waves

📍 Minab Region
💥 Additional military activity and explosions reported

🇺🇸 @CENTCOM stated the operation was a proportional self-defense response aimed at degrading Iranian capabilities threatening maritime traffic and regional security.

🇮🇱⚔️🇮🇷 ISRAEL–IRAN FRONT

📅 Recent Context

💥 Iran launched ballistic missile attacks against Israel on June 7–8.
💥 Israel responded with strikes on Iranian air defense systems, missile infrastructure, and the Mahshahr petrochemical complex.
💥 Direct exchanges subsided by June 8–9.
📣 Prime Minister Netanyahu stated Israel had “hit the terror regime” while warning that future responses remain possible.

👉No significant direct Israel-Iran strikes were reported overnight.

🇮🇷 🚀 IRANIAN RETALIATION AGAINST U.S. ASSETS

The #IRGC has claimed attacks against:

🇧🇭 #Bahrain
💥 U.S. Fifth Fleet facilities targeted
💥 Air defense interceptions reported

🇯🇴 #Jordan
💥 Reports of attacks directed toward military facilities

🇰🇼 #Kuwait
💥 Ali Al-Salem Air Base reportedly targeted

🛡️ Interceptions were reported across multiple Gulf locations.

Damage assessments remain disputed.

🌍 REGIONAL OUTLOOK

⚠️ Peace negotiations continue but remain strained by:

📌 Strait of Hormuz security
📌 #Hezbollah and Lebanon linkages
📌 Iranian proxy activity
📌 Ongoing U.S.–Iran tensions

⛽ Energy markets and shipping routes remain on alert.
🚨 Regional military readiness levels remain elevated.

🎯 BOTTOM LINE

🇺🇸 The primary development overnight was the U.S. strike campaign against Iranian military infrastructure along the southern coast.

🇮🇷 #Iran responded with attacks against American assets across the Gulf region.

🇮🇱 Direct Israel-Iran exchanges have paused once again, though the potential for escalation remains.

⚔️ The war is not expanding this morning but neither is it ending.

🛡️Praying for Israeli and allied soldiers to remain safe.

@swilkinsonbc @guychristensen_ Guy Christiansen justified the murder of two people in Washington DC

He isn’t exactly the person to hold up as a beacon of humanitarianism.

He also faked his own death to raise money.

He’s another antisemitic Charlatan https://t.co/QG8XvDszOQ

@swilkinsonbc “They are not human. They have hands and faces but they or not like us. They are monsters.”

This is almost word for word what they said about Jews in order to make it ok to ☠️ Jews in the Holocaust.

You should be radioactive.

🇮🇱 Shabbat Shalom to all

As we sit at the table tonight, there are soldiers still out there holding the line.

Families in the north still living with uncertainty, with sirens, with tension that doesn’t leave.

And a nation waiting, and not knowing what comes next, only knowing it may come.

This week’s parsha reminds us:

“קדושים תהיו”
Be holy.

Not in peace.
Not in comfort.
But here, in the middle of it all.

Holiness is how we hold ourselves when everything around us feels unstable.

It’s the strength to stay human when the world pulls toward chaos.

Tonight, in this video at a Shabbat table in my apartment (decorations exactly as they appear IRL) , with brothers @IsraelIDFend and @James_NWR … from across the ocean, sharing Shabbat together in Israel…

We are reminded:

We are still here.
We are still together.
We are still carrying something bigger than fear.

To our soldiers, we see you.
To the families holding it together, we are with you.

To Am Yisrael, we endure. We stand.
We remain.
Shabbat Shalom 🇮🇱

🔷 This is a great piece and you are right — it has to end.

🔷 Unfortunately, the “Israel Derangement Syndrome” is just the new version of ANTISEMITISM vis a vis “Antizionism”

🔷 We’ve heard it all before: “They aren’t antisemitic — they’re just antizionist.”

🔷 JEWHATRED is called the oldest hatred for a reason: 3000 years and counting, Coleman.

🔷 Sadly, I don’t believe it’s going anywhere.

🔷 We thank you for your words here in Israel.

Let me tell you who @AbbyMartin is

🚨 Abby Martin

✅ Activism presented as journalism
✅ Narrative framed as moral certainty

⚠️ Examples:
👉 YouTube video below (full of libels and lies)
👉 Refuses to condemn Hamas October 7 Massacre on Piers Morgan

🎯 Pattern

👉 Outcome-based conclusions first
👉 Context selectively applied
👉 Emotional framing over operational reality

🔥 Impact

👉 Reinforces moral certainty in audience
👉 Removes complexity
👉 Positions Israel as singular aggressor

Witness the lies for yourself

🔸 Some bring voice

What matters is that it comes from a stirred heart, not pressure, not ego, not noise.
