How Hizballah struck bases deep inside Israel days before ceasefire, with Jon Elmer

we are going to move now to Lebanon and of course the Lebanon front is Raging the uh situation just since you last saw me uh has escalated pretty considerably as Israel's moving to the next stage uh of the battle and they're moving to attempting to move to the second line Villages which is in practice means the outskirts of the first Villages because the other Villages were right on the border and they're still fighting in those Villages um but if we take a look at map uh at map number one here tomorrow you'll see that this was yesterday this is Sunday operations from Sunday on Sunday hasbalah carried out 51 operations more operations than any day since the uh assassination of nasala and since the day after the assass since the response to the assassination of Nala and the day before that They carried out 37 so it's not some kind of um wild aberration it's just showing you um I've been showing you the maps of the uh the Israeli Allied Maps um but on this map from Hezbollah they'll show you the operations you can see where they're concentrated the center of the map there is the West Bank so you can move up and you're seeing Northern Israel um on the right hand top side of the map you see the Golan Heights and then where you see all those uh attacks those are rocket attacks on Israeli troops and settlements that are up in the Galilee Panhandle um that that's called so that strip of land that runs up uh to the northernmost uh tip of Israel and then down and across the middle sector and then the uh Western sector um of that um of the Border area and just to the other side of the Border area within the 30 km buffer zone that exists inside Israel where they have a evacuated all of their settlements and their settlements are being hammered but you can also see down the coast that there's strikes in Tel Aviv well you can see first up in the upper corner um if you move over that the little thumb that sticks out is hia so you're seeing the operations in the hia area there if you follow down the coastline um you get to Tel Aviv and then below that you get to ashdod because it was operations uh in ashod as low in southern Israel so carrying out oper is 175 km deep into um deep into Israel and so uh just on Sunday alone Hezbollah claimed uh six uh six tanks six six tanks nine bases uh downed a drone hit five Barracks 14 settlements and eight Gatherings of soldiers they used um they used four drones um 38 surfac to surface missile one surfac to a missile which is what they're firing at the drone at the Israeli drones um four qualitative missiles and four guided missiles so an escalation um in the battle again in the usage and we're going to show in some of these videos um what uh new Weaponry that hasbalah each week we do this program I'm bringing you new Weaponry that hasbalah is introducing to the fight they're not throwing everything um at the Israelis at once they've been revealing these weapons uh slowly but surely yesterday was Sunday and there was 250 Rockets fired before dinnertime in Israel before sundown in Israel that rang Sirens 541 times um targeting bases Gatherings of troops reaching hia AKA safed Tel Aviv sending 4 million Israelis to shelters causing damage and casualties these figures do not include the amount of drones that were launched and in one operation yet on Saturday the Hezbollah fired 28 drones in one sit in one session so um just qualitative and uh operational Tempo increases in the battle uh in in the battle in Lebanon and uh Northern Israel and increasingly in southern Israel um one like I said one drone storm yesterday two days ago 28 drones in one storm let's look in one drone strike let's look at the map y here and I'll show you again remember the blue the dark blue is inside Israel so the light blue is where Israeli military vehicles have existed or attacks have happened so that counts as artillery that is not land being held by Israel as it says at the bottom of this map assessments are for advances of areas where forces have operated in or a launched attacks but do not control so the light blue they do not control any of that territory it it it's maximum you can see the kilometers uh Legend there uh just above on the right hand side down near the bottom you can see the legend so we're talking about a few kilometers um and a little bit more than three kilometers in hiam where there have moved forward um and continually move forward and continually retreat in hiam there's been um Fierce battles in that area there was a 14-hour battle on Friday um that killed six soldiers 14 wounded Hezbollah Fighters came out of another tunnel and fought uh in that area um the number of hits on hiam hiam is hit with rockets and artillery constantly yesterday they reclaimed six marava tanks in that area were hit by anti-tank fire we haven't seen videos for that yet um we may see them by the next uh by the next show but also uh if we look at the next map tomorrow you can see this is the West so that's the Galilee Panhandle this is the Western sector um and the Western sector they're not able to go anywhere and if you look at what's significant about this map is look at the Topography of the map that they have to go up the mountain they have to clear the mountain to be able to move armored vehicles forward into South l on and none of that has even begun yet um and again every time we have uh reporting of tank movements we have counterveiling reporting of it them withdrawing they're they're moving forward when they come under Fire they withdraw and they're all trying to stay out of anti-tank fire so if we look at video number 10 this is an interesting one because the Israeli Army Radio they Deni this happened they denied uh Hermes 450 drone was shot down they said it wasn't shot down and then hbal released this video showing it pretty clearly being shot down also interesting in this video they show us the most we have seen that right there that you just saw that is the most that we have seen of the weapon that hasbalah is using and also that aner Allah and the yeni Armed Forces is using to down these Flagship drones of the Israelis and and the mq9 Reaper drone of the Americans the US Air Force which the uh ansor law movement has down 15 of them since 2005 but there it is that little picture is more than Hezbollah has shown us the whole time and it indicates what I said to you right from the start it's a 358 uh surfac to a missile It's a combination of a surfac to a missile and a loitering drone which is essentially made from many parts that can be uh procured from the commercial Market this is not a top secret weapon um that you need only specific parts for the The Genius of these uh weapons developments coming out of Iran and being used by hasbalah and by um an Allah is that they can be uh you can swap parts in and out of them so when Israel says that they've knocked out 80% of hezbollah's drones it's not true because they can rebuild these drones um even under the you know partial blockade that's happening right now Hezbollah can resupply uh with these drones um and re um and reput reconstitute their drone program which uh Israel said that they had knocked 80% of it out and then we got a drone swarm on Thursday or Friday where it's 28 drones in one launch so you're clearly not knocking them out and if we look at number 11 these are missiles these videos I'm just taking a sample of these videos from Lebanon we don't we just don't have time in the show to show you every single video from Hezbollah because they're releasing constantly this shows Tel Aviv the Rabin base in the um in the the Kira the the campus um showing the launch of the cter 2 missiles here and we're going to watch drone launch the Cotter 2 missile is a formidable missile um the cutter 2 missile is precision guided 400 kilo Warhead um and and like I said Precision guided within five kilometers within five meters sorry of the of its aim um so as good as any uh accuracy um that you find in any and any other uh guided missile that the Israelis or the Americans are firing this is Vision visions of Tel Aviv and Flames here um something that um that Hezbollah did as a direct response to the targeting of Beirut which has been happening of course over the last week now we're moving up to bit lid near natania B liid is a major Israeli base um this was the base that was targeted by Islamic Jihad with the first suicide bomb in the Israel Palestine conflict a devastating hit double suicide bombing against Israeli troops um in the bait laid base this is seeing the launch of the drones again and at the bait Li bases uh training camp for the nah Brigade and the paratroopers Brigade and this is after action video that we're seeing and then number 12 Hezbollah immediately then did the scops again where they published these posters that say 8:45 p.m telie Under Fire and then the asterisk takes you down to Netanyahu saying we have destroyed 80% of hezbollah's Rocket fire so they're just rocket capabilities so they're just mocking them and to go to give you an idea of what 80% would mean um going into the war Israeli estimates had uh hezbollah's rocket Arsenal at between 150,000 and 250,000 so that claim suggests that they've knocked out 200,000 Rockets it's an absurd claim it has nothing to do no founding in military basis as I said last week um meanwhile the um these posters come out these psychological operations posters come out uh after each of these major operations poking uh poking holes in the Israeli uh narrative um so if we go to 13 again this is the the the nature of the war we're seeing 51 attacks a day 37 attacks 35 attacks sometimes 27 25 never less than that we're seeing them every day all day long and these are drone launches these are drone launches against the um shagga base which is the administrative command center for the Golani Brigade which is fighting um the main uh Northern uh fighting force now there's five divisions On the Border but of course the galani Brigade is one of them um and this is footage from from inside uh one of the targeted spots we're seeing them launch 122 millimeter grad Rockets here from a truck launch um and you can see how they've got the rocks on either side to protect the launch in the moment that it happens then they can pull out a launcher um we're going to see this this this is going to happen constantly this has been happening constantly dozens of times a day this base the shagga base the Golani Brigade administrative headquarters base is hit three times four times a day every single day so if you take it over a one week period you're hitting it 30 times with rocket barrages and that counts as one operation by Hezbollah if Hezbollah fires 30 rockets at the base counts as one operation of the 51 so just to give you a sense they're always counting operations not Munitions deployed um so 14 is the same 13 and 14 14 is another example of it again truck mounted grad rockets that uh Israel says they've destroyed um they haven't destroyed we saw the Cotter 2 missile be launched from underground which uh Israel cannot destroy so the 80% figure is just it's nonsense it's it's for public consumption at home which is what I said last week um and really nothing has changed one other thing that Hezbollah will do is that they'll they'll hit this base at 1:30 1:45 2 pm 215 p.m. 2:30 p.m so it's just one after another barges against uh these bases and they picked the bases uh for a reason because it's the Golani these are the drones being launched the Drone swarms uh that Israel has no ability um to to to detect and you can see that even in IDF field reports because they'll they'll announce when there's a drone when there's Sirens they'll announce where there're sirens and then if nothing has happened for 15 minutes they'll literally say uh we haven't found uh the Drone so um if we look at number 15 we can show you what a drone sounds like uh I left the audio in this one so that's see drones flying over pal that's that's the new equation that has happened happens dozens of times literally a day and so once again Hezbollah uh responded with a uh with a scop if we look at number 16 here as this one ends watching them fly through the sky uh a single drone and it sites uh Channel 12 today we once again witnessed how a single drone over the span of more than 20 minutes forced tens of thousands of residents into fortified shelter as well as the difficulty in intercepting this drone because they fly around they can't find the drones um they're not in their radar signature they're flying too low too slow they're fiberglass they don't have a heat signature um they can't dial down their Radars to be too sensitive that you catch a flock of birds um so they're that's why we see them they're they have to be shot down by multi-billion Dollar fighter jets like the F35 that chases them all over and of course we've seen um you know helicopters chasing them and not being able to hit them um so number 17 this is a qualitative attack this is a fudger 3 rocket attack on uh hia Naval Base stala Maurice this is off the near hia and this is um the also the atlet base they're side by side and these bases are the host of the sheet 13 flotilla 13 this is um the premier IDF uh Naval Commandos um flotilla 13 they did such heroic operations as sacking shiffa Hospital uh you may remember them they also then went across the street and sacked the PA Palestinian legislative Council in Gaza City um but these are their clandestine their secret U special forces that you're not supposed to know that's their base and then Hezbollah gives you these renderings uh of these bases here at atlite and then drone launches qualitative drone swarm launches aimed at the base and then this one gives us a nice uh onboard camera of the uh drone striking the base or aiming at the base uh before it gets shot so 18 is also another drone swarm this was a qualitative increase that happened um two days ago this is Hezbollah striking the hatzor airbase outside of ashod so now we're in southern Israel now we're closer to Gaza than we are to uh to the Lebanese border and you can see the Hezbollah operatives launching this drone swarm um at the hatur base and these this base is a missile defense Israeli UAV unmanned aerial vehicle base but it's also a joint US Air Force Operations Command Center uh that was built a few years back in 2021 U at this base so um they're picking these bases uh they're picking them for the right reasons uh in military terms and what you're seeing here is the first cruise missile this is the debut of the kuds 2 cruise missile um that we're seeing launched uh in this war so Hezbollah introducing new Weaponry uh this late in the war at a Target that is a qualitative Target if we do number 19 uh one last barage this was again yesterday yesterday Sunday 51 uh 51 attacks this was one of the 51 attacks we're going to watch drone swarms here um take off first here aimed at Tel Aviv again um and then we're going to watch Fat 6 and CER 2 Precision guided missiles these are aimed these first batch are aimed um at the gelo base we've talked a lot about gelo gelot is the headquarters for mosad it's the headquarters for the signals intelligence uh unit unit 8200 um and it's also the headquarters a headquarter of uh Aman which is the the IDF Military Intelligence so it's a key base uh and it's being aimed at here with coder 2 ballistic missiles uh these these first ones are F sixes that we're seeing go up um the next ones you'll see the the F the CER twos are we we've seen them be launched before on this program uh just earlier in in my presentation um they can be launched from underground they're often launched from underground sites again making them uh defensible and easil easily protected and these are versions of um these are versions of rockets that they have made into Precision guided so here we see them go underground into these underground missile silos and you can see the Cotter 2 is pretty serious piece of munition that they are deploying here ballistic missile with Precision guided nasala set about um see there's the launch of the cter 2 uh nesa set about with this Precision guided uh program over many years to turn this Weaponry into Precision guided Weaponry hasbalah after this operation uh on Sunday put out a another uh poster that that basically just mocked the uh Israeli position it had the Israeli uh military correspondent for KH their their state television channel saying Hezbollah is demonstrating to their supporters that shik Naim kum's equation uh the equation of nasrala remains an effect a strike on the heart of Beirut equals a strike on the heart of Tel Aviv so that is what we have uh before us um in this war we've seen from the start uh escalation is met with escalation when Israel moved to attacking U the dahya and Beirut as they did uh in these past five days they had taken some time off from doing that and they resumed doing it and now the picture you see on your uh screen right now now is Tel Aviv Tel Aviv INF Flames is a response to um the attacking of Beirut which was an equation that nasrala put in place decades ago and Naim kasum is following through on so that is the resistance report from Gaza the West Bank and Lebanon for this week [Music]
