Just before the ceasefire with Hezbollah took effect, the IoF says it carried out a special operation in southern Lebanon during which troops seized control of a strategic ridge.

The Israeli Air Force's elite Shaldag unit landed at the so-called Cristofani Ridge, several kilometers north of Mount Hermon, and established control in the area.

The military says the special forces landed in the area just minutes before the ceasefire took effect.

IoF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, who approved the raid, observed the operation alongside IAF chief Maj. Gen. Tomer Bar at the IAF's command center.

"Lebanese and Israeli delegations met in Washington this week for their first direct talks in 33 years. On 15 April, with talks underway, the IDF’s chief of staff, Eyal Zamir, designated all of southern Lebanon up to the Litani River a ‘#Hizbullah kill zone’."

"The ground maneuver in Lebanon along with the strikes against Hezbollah have achieved many accomplishments, but are not yet complete," - Israel Katz, Israeli Defense Minister.

It was not a war, it was not an occupation, it was not an attack, it was the Israeli version of SMO, the "ground maneuver"

Hebrew sources:

🔻Hezbollah blew up a building housing Israeli forces, causing the building to collapse on them!

Israel is breaking the ceasefire almost every hour and keep advancing in parts of southern Lebanon.

No words from Lebanese government or the hypocrites in EU or US.

The ceasefire in Lebanon was announced by Trump without Israel’s security cabinet approval – Israeli journalist Amichai Stein

Sources say Pakistani Field Marshal Assim Muneer called President Trump on behalf of Iran and forced him to declare a ceasefire ahead of a new round of talks in Islamabad.

Question is, will #Netanyahu accept this? Or he will do what he has done always, break the promises and sabotage any possibility to peace.

Lebanese citizens are returning to their homes in the south of Lebanon despite the warning of IDF and Lebanese government.

Many of them are reporting the presence of cluster bombs from Israeli remnants.

PS. Remember when israel wanted the UN to condemn Iran for using cluster munitions against them? I'm sure they have a perfect excuse for these cluster bombs used in Lebanon.

Israeli newspaper Maariv:

We went out to the war of the “Lion’s Roar” and returned with the “Cat’s Meow,” bringing Israel to the most difficult situation in the region.

The genocidal diaper army of Israel can't fight trained soldiers. They can only fight unarmed civilians and those who don't fight back.

#Hezbollah once again showed Israel that they can't win without paying a heavy price.

But sadly, the corrupt leaders of Lebanon, with backing of entire Arab world, US and EU (once again) stabbed them in the back and now taking credit for the ceasefire Iran demanded and received.

It's funny people in Lebanon celebrating.

These people are special.

Just because they stood up and fought, they lost a lot, but at the end, they stood tall.

Unlike the pathetic vast majority of the "Muslim" world.

I don't agree with their ideology or religion, but I respect their courage and bravery standing up to one of the most brutal genocidal military force on earth.
