but I'm going to take you to Lebanon and Yemen really quickly um so let's do number 20 tomorrow because the yemeni armed forces and sorala got another mq9 Reaper drone dropped another 30 uh million doll drone um and this is interesting because they show the impact they've been cutting the impact and Hezbollah cuts the impact um in an attempt to hide what missile they're using I've talked about this before I believe they're using a type 358 uh loitering munition um that's an Iranian uh invention and that has been used um by these Fighters you can watch it here it explodes ahead of time so you see how it explodes ahead of time it doesn't explode on the vehicle see it explodes ahead of time and then um if we look at the next footage tomorrow you can see the yeni Armed Forces uh standing on it this was uh a video that was published by the Associated Press and you can see that the the the mq9 Reaper drone that we're looking there United States uh Flagship drone um it's it's intact largely because the explosion um was separate from it was a explosion an area explosion that broke it apart and it landed in uh in more or less intact they put the pieces together um but make it look uh more or less intact and this is the third Reaper that anera has got in may they that they got in May it's the sixth overall these are $30 million drones they fly at 50,000 feet for 24 straight hours it's the flagship it's a hunter killer drone they carry out attacks they carry out surveillance um and the number that people agree on is 30 million but if you go to the US Air Force uh procurement um page they have it at 50 million uh per unit so um that's interesting to see um and of course uh there's still a uh disrupting shipping in the uh Red Sea uh blocking shipping to Israel um the United States uh and the UK bombed on Shore this week in Yemen killed dozens um and Hamas uh released a statement um condemning that action um so both the groups are giving statements in both directions of solidarity and that um continues let's go to 21 tomorrow because uh Hezbollah has been busy they released a video the other day of their 2000th operations they announced um that that it was their 2,000th operation and so this is a little mixtape that they put together for us uh showing all of these operations um we we I I try to pick the some Hasa wants to keep you um just to keep everybody a breast of what's going on but there's so much happening in Le Leon that um it's difficult to cover it all there's been fires all through the North in kirat Mona um the uh Israeli media was calling what kirat Mona looked like uh they were saying this is conun this is jabalia this is not Israel um you know they're just they're comparing the destruction um to to the destruction that they that they want to carry out they don't they don't want it to happen to them uh not to the Israelis but that's what's happening the north looks that way um let's let's skip ahead tomorrow here um to 22 because the 2000th operation by Hezbollah was the Downing of an elbet Hermes 900 drone this is the Israeli Flagship drone um and this is the second one they've downed um they've also downed two um Hermes 450s and again Hezbollah cropped the frames where we see the Missile hit so we don't know what munition they're using they're keeping it a secret still um but this pretty spectacularly fell from the sky um with the surface to a missile that they're tracking and you can see these drones fly very high so this this weapon is getting up into the sky at a level that uh is surprising I think the Israelis um and it's something that definitely is a gamechanging uh development that they can drop these drones um all the time now in Anar alah in Yemen and hasbalah can do this consistently um all the time and if we just go to number 23 tomorrow you can see this this footage here uh taken by a Lebanese uh citizen here of the Drone pretty spectacularly falling out of out of the sky um yeah let's do 24 just uh uh 24 this is the Ramia site this is on the base this is a base on the northern border um and Galant the defense minister prime minister Netanyahu uh Israel Herzog the the president and Chief of Staff of the IDF halevi they all visited this site and they did a press conference saying that they had pushed Hezbollah 10 kilometers off the border the next day hasbalah released this video showing their Fighters running up to the border with small arms and firing on this position so normally in these Hezbollah videos we don't really see the fighters much but look they're taking their Small Arms they're walking right up to the site um to prove that they can take this site in the north Galilee um in the uh they can come across the border and take this site and Israeli media was talking about this all night because they were saying um because the they Israeli media knew it was propaganda that they're not hezbollah's not pushed 10 kilometers off the Border um uh and Nala says from that speech that that uh text that there it just said if the fighters wanted to go to the site they would have gone to the site and if they wanted to enter the site they would have entered the site so Nesta playing mind games with the Israelis uh at the Ramia site here and you can see them taking their weapons right up to the edge uh firing RPGs and uh AKs at the uh at the base just to prove that they could take this base uh anytime they wanted they're not 10 kilometers off the Border let's do 25 and 26 really quickly here um this is an an Almas this is the the reverse engineered anti-tank guided missile that Hezbollah captured from the Israelis and reverse engineered it in Iran and here it is coming down and hitting uh Israeli humy right on and you get uh footage of that I have been tracking this weapon for you guys we've been following it all along because um it's a very interesting weapon were it to be turned against Israeli armor um and Israeli bases in this way that they are and if we go to the next one tomorrow 26 um you can watch this missile come in at 1200 kilm an hour and watch these Israeli soldiers at this border position look up and notice it um coming in on them with the onboard camera that the Almas has so that you can see the soldiers here they come out of the and they see it and they're look it straight in the eye those two soldiers soers and the missile can be controlled in that way so um Hezbollah is is really has been upping the a upping the ante on the Northern um Border in South Lebanon um the Israelis are talking a lot of um talking a big game about invading Lebanon but U the way Hezbollah has been fighting this war and gradually escalating um to have footage like this shown um is is important we'll we'll watch this one last last one and then uh this is the end of the resistance report for for this week just ended on this note um that the Israelis um are not prepared for a war against Hezbollah they have lost their minds so they may carry out a war against Hezbollah um but we'll we'll predict early the crystal ball that Helena had if she left it behind that Israel will lose badly in a war against tbol and that is the resistance report from the south of the Gaza Strip to the northern border uh with Lebanon um resistance still all through the area the West Bank is also has resistance everywhere as well
