Israeli military hammered by FPV drones, with Jon Elmer

You are watching and listening to the Electronic Intifada. I am John Elmer. This is the resistance report on day 965 of Israel's genocide in Gaza and day 87 of Hezbollah's defense of South Lebanon. I'm going to cover Lebanon today at length, but let's start in Gaza where on Tuesday night Israel assassinated Muhammad Odeh who is a long-time military intelligence chief and presumed chief of staff. He became the chief of staff after the assassination of Izz ad-Din Haddad who I reported on last week. Um two chiefs of staff in a two-week period Israel has assassinated outside of a war and in a ceasefire period massacring them with their families and killing their neighbors. Uh Odeh is from the Jabalia refugee camp. He was part of Qassam's founding generation. He was a member of Yahya Sinwar's Majd uh counterintelligence unit that sought to root out uh collaborators and Israeli agents in Gaza in the years before the Qassam Brigades uh were formally announced from their emergence. Um in earlier years he was a battalion commander in Jabalia, but he has a long history um intelligence history military intelligence history and was a critical builder in the Qassam Brigades uh encompassing the indigenous weapons development program that of course was on display for the two and a half years of resistance in Gaza. Um uh but he has been key in that weapons program and the development of the structure of the military force of the Qassam Brigade something that he carried on till his final days when he reorganized uh Qassam in the north of Gaza and took over as the northern division commander um at that time after Izz ad-Din Haddad became chief of staff. uh and Haddad himself had replaced Muhammad Sinwar who was a chief of staff um for uh for a year um before he was assassinated last around this time last year and Muhammad al-Deif who is was the chief of staff from 2002 to his assassination in 2024 in Khan Yunis so 22 years of leadership from Muhammad Deif who you can see in this image here planning the October 7th attack you can see the Gaza envelope on a map down there Muhammad Odeh is on the right side facing the screen Muhammad Deif is on the left side in the black that's Abu Obaida beside him and Rafi Salama who is the Khan Yunis Brigade chief and top aide to Muhammad al-Deif and so you see this real inner circle of the October 7th operation and he was Odeh was a key part of that group that small group that dismantled the the Gaza division and really shattered the myth of the Israelis as the intelligence you know at the myth of their intelligence and the myth of their capacity and it's the military intelligence that was run by Muhammad Odeh that did that that had that impeccable and voluminous intelligence on each Israeli position on the movements of troops that they had watched for years in the Gaza envelope in the Gaza divisions movements were all what was dismantled on October 7th in literally minutes because of the preparation that Muhammad Odeh was overseeing he also oversaw the critical counter intelligence raid that was foiled by the Israelis in 2018 in Khan Yunis where they attempted to plant listening devices Um, try to get into the closed um closed uh phone line in the tunnels. Um, that operation was foiled. Um and he was a key role in that as well. Qassam said that he is our distinguished commander and he left his mark in various fields of Jihad and resistance from the battlefield to military manufacturing workshops passing through the command of the northern uh brigade and the command of the weapons and combat services wing. Then he uh for a long time with the military intelligence wing and he said the Qassam said, "What a great journey he was on. A rich chapters which will remain a beacon for generations. The ferocity of the battle and the intensity of the assault from which our people and resistance are being subjected to and the Zionist rampage and savagery are certainly the final chapters of the occupation." Um, so that is a report from Gaza. We will go now to Lebanon and start with the maps that we always start with and the maps are um important today because Israel yesterday made the entire area south of the Litani River um the entire pink uh on this map uh a free fire zone um because of their failures on the battlefield, tactical defeats um turned into civilian massacres and Israel has been bragging about this over the past few days striking more than 150 uh targets in Lebanon yesterday. Uh and 550 uh covering the 3 days um at the beginning of the week. They have killed 2,600 3,269 people in Lebanon and injured almost 10,000 including of course the 125 paramedics and first responders, civil defense workers that were killed many in grizzly double tap massacres that were watched on camera um as all of Israel's many of Israel's crimes are. We can take a look at the next map cuz you can see the three main areas of the battle. This is Hezbollah's map from a couple weeks ago, but it covers the month after the ceasefire or after the the massacre that followed the ceasefire. So, we're looking on the western coast there, Naqoura and Bayada. In the center there, that's the the Bint Jbeil province and battles that will be focusing on today in that region. And then if you follow up the Galilee panhandle there to the top, you have a considerable battle that has been waging along that front all throughout this war. And you can see the distribution of attacks in each of those areas, and those concentrations of attacks indicate both Israeli positions and Israeli attempts to advance, which are could be are being thwarted by for the most part by Hezbollah operations. Let's look at the next one. We have a psychological operations here that began the week, and it was prescient for Hezbollah to put this out. It's directed at the Israelis, and underneath this sign that says caution or beware. And it's obviously a drone with the munition on it. The Israeli media quote was to the effect that these drones make the skies a death trap. And Hezbollah, of course, like Qassam, the military media departments are keen on the psychological operations directed at the Israeli public and directed at their own public as well. But this sign was definitely foreshadowed the week for the Israelis. Let's take a look at at four. This was a pretty remarkable um a attack here we're seeing right from the start assembly of the drone here that we've talked about. There's the anti-tank missile. I'm going to break some of these down after uh cuz it's moving pretty quickly. Um, on the wall it says dedicated to the great and devoted people of dear Iran for your constant love and support and um from your brothers in the Islamic resistance. There we see the drone take off and also to the martyrs of the Minab school uh massacre. So, you're seeing this drone fly now over this road. If you look off uh straight ahead in the distance you see the dust of a Israeli military Humvee. And right about now the Humvee sees that there's a drone coming, slams on its brakes. You can see the the dust behind that. Uh and bails out here and we're going to watch it bail out upper road. Clearly no plan uh how to handle this situation. Um, the drone doesn't seem to uh be phased at all. It just simply continues at its same speed, hops over this house here. Um, and the Israelis are now stopped and attempting to bail out of this uh Humvee. You can see two soldiers there, the one on the left doing the Superman. He's got his foot caught in the uh tire there. >> [snorts] >> And you can see four soldiers. There's at least two inside. I think there's probably two more inside that we can't see. Um, but they bail out uh and they leave their uh fellow soldiers inside uh with no defense. Um, they didn't Nobody tried to shoot at the drone. Nobody tried to escape and evade the drone. Um, I blurred that section. If YouTube is watching this, I blurred that section uh where it showed uh Israeli faces um as we always do to meet community guidelines, but their faces were shocked that the drone was coming in and it's a direct hit on uh that vehicle. And maybe unsurprisingly no casualty report from the Israelis on that where an anti-tank anti-tank rocket exploded inside the back of a Jeep that has at least two other people in there. I think it's got four, and then it's got two in the front as well. So, let's go back and look at number five here. Um, this was a something that uh I noted here. You can see another fighter operating in South Lebanon with his fingers removed, the fingers from the pager attack. Those are even the fingers that were targeted because they made the pager they made the in order to turn off the pager from that page, you had to grab it with two hands. Um, and so you can see of course uh working in uh explosives, you can lose your fingers in many ways, but these are clear pager attack um uh results. And uh you have a fighter on the front line putting together the drone that just apparently killed several Israeli soldiers. Um, although they haven't admitted to that. If we look at the next one, um this is uh this is the warhead here. This is the PG7V-L that I've been telling you about, but it's good to see it what it is, uh how big it is. And of course, it's a it's the best single round um RPG rocket. Um, but it's still not as effective as the Yasin 105 for people who've been watching this program for years um because the Yasin 105 is a tandem charge. It has two uh explosive uh elements in it, whereas these RPG rounds just are single rounds, but this is the best of the single rounds, the most advanced of them. These are Iranian uh uh copies of the PG uh 7V-L. Um, and then one more, number seven is the uh fiber optic spool. So, this is the spool um the connection that tethers the drone. We've talked about this a bunch of times, but it's worth always repeating cuz it's uh devastatingly effective um that this fiber optic cable is attached to the drone and attached to the controller and is unjammable. Um it gives the controller um immediate results on the controller in terms of guiding the drone. Um and it can't be um it can't be electronic it can't be it's not subject to uh electronic warfare in the same that um the other drones that are running on radio signals are. So, that is um something that Hezbollah hasn't showed us this. I've shown you the two other times that Hezbollah has shown us these drones. This is the close this is the most they have shown us. You can see um the 3D rail uh um under his glove there. They've 3D printed railings um to mount the weapon and to mount the spool underneath. Um so, really again and these are uh clean, smart, uh effective, resilient uh weapons because the supply chain is resilient. The parts are used in many different ways. They're 3D printing certain parts and really the number of these drones um being in the thousands is not is not surprising. Um and they're highly uh highly effective. The Israelis claim that these drones are coming from a above from greater than 20 km distance. Um but it I don't think that we have seen that yet. That spool doesn't uh suggest a 30 km range. Um but the Israelis seem to think that the drones go uh from ex- incredible distances and they always report on more drones hitting than actually uh were fired by Hezbollah, which is something that we'll encounter um on the program today. Let's look at number eight. You can see the full assembly of it here. It's a little bit hard to see cuz it's uh black on black here, but you can see uh the warhead without a fuse, and Hezbollah has been very um the operational security surrounding the fuse and detonation system of these. I know people have asked about this, um but Hezbollah is not showing us this. And so, even when they give us uh a build like this, you can see there's no fuse on the uh nose of the RPG uh warhead that you're looking at there. And then, underneath this difficult to see, but underneath the warhead is the spool. It angles down and it runs a thread um for the 15-20 km uh if that's indeed how far it is. Um you know, the 10 km are the smaller spools. Um and it just runs that line. And then, unless that line gets cut, um you have direct um um low latency response to uh all the commands. And that's why Hezbollah has been able to improve week on week in remarkable fashion. Um and you're going to see that uh on this show as well. And just one more just wanted to show this uh still of these guys bailing out and leaving their two other two to four uh guys in the back to fend for themselves. They're not jumping out here to shoot at the drone or to try to knock the drone down. They just bailed, and that's going to be uh a theme of this program. And it's also this shot right here is the shot that the Israelis have been afraid of for the past um 80 days of this war that this drone footage uh showing the final moments of these soldiers um would become a major uh propaganda coup and also uh a morale uh real shot to the morale um whatever the opposite of a morale boost is. Um so, just wanted to show that picture. Now, let's look at uh number 10. This is the operation. Um this is the commander of the 401st Armored Brigade, Mayor Biderman. Um and he's saying here uh in an interview on Israeli television before the war, he says, "We'll come here with many surprises for Hezbollah. They're weakened. Their firepower is less than before, and you can see this in the quantity and accuracy and effectiveness and effectiveness of their strike." And what we're looking at here is the newly positioned 401st Armored Brigade uh headquarters that they have moved uh down uh from uh a higher ground that was uh we'll we'll see after this uh that had been hammered for weeks, and they fled that position. Hezbollah followed them to this new position, and this house that they're occupying here uh is the command center for the 401st Armored Brigade. And you're going to see a full casing of the joint here. Full reconnaissance flight around to see There you see a soldier out on the porch here. Um they're identifying that. You can see he's going to notice the drone, and he also is going to run away and not look out for his fellow soldiers. Doesn't close the door, and the drone flies right through the door into the command center of the 401st Armored Brigade. You can see it uh happen again here. >> This operation severely wounded the commander of the 401st Armored Brigade. Um and he is still in critical condition. Um and this is the second drone uh now uh is going to circle around and come back. This is a three-drone operation. Uh it's going to circle around back here and aim at this ammunition truck that you can see there. Takes out the ammunition truck, and as we have come to expect in recent weeks, the third drone photo does battle damage assessment of the previous drone and you can see the ammo truck burning over there. You can see the window there blown out of the 401st headquarters in that and then the drone here is going to circle back around and he's going to aim at a Nammer troop carrier on the ground here and I think you're going to see the netting catch it right at the last minute so there and then now this is Hezbollah using Israeli television footage to show the removal the medevac of the colonel the highest ranking officer taken off the battlefield by Hezbollah in this war and he himself that's him saying the same line again that that Hezbollah is not what they used to be and and then he he finishes it off by leaving on a stretcher because of the effectiveness accuracy and quantity of Hezbollah's strikes so he kind of walked into that one we can take a look at the next slide is the still of that drone entering you can see the soldiers to the right and straight ahead and you can see the computer systems that they're operating. Now the 401st Armored Brigade is of course infamous from its time in Gaza Hind Rajab was killed by the 401st Armored Brigade but everything in northern Gaza the genocide in northern Gaza from 2023 to May 2024 was led by the 401st Armored Brigade it's their tank Brigade and then in May 2024 the 401st moved down to Rafa to ethnically cleanse Rafa and escalate the genocide there. They moved back up north for the generals plan in late 2024 for the ethnic cleansing of the north um and then also in the north ethnically cleansing Jabalia, Beit Lahia, Beit Hanoun during operation Gideon's chariots. The previous commander of the 401st was killed in Gaza by Qassam in an operation in October 2024 and that is when this new commander Meir Biderman took over. So um long history of crimes by this particular unit. Let's look at number 12 because again, it's just situational aware basic military soldiering. Situational awareness to flee, sure, but close the door. Just look at the next slide. they just leave the door wide open and cost his unit dearly for that decision. So back-to-back operations Israeli soldiers um I guess cowardice not really a better word than that for what this is and leaving their their troops vulnerable and then Israel's response to this cowardice is to escalate the genocide against people who don't have anything to do with this fight instead of turning it on Hezbollah. Um let's take a look at number 14 because you're going to see in these next two how that operation came about. This is just up the road in Rashif. That was in Debel. Um this is in Rashif just down This is north of Debel. So they the Israelis pulled back. That was the first drone hitting a fuel tanker Hemet, a heavy tactical vehicle. There you see again the second drone is now doing the battle damage assessment of the first drone's strike before he heads in and takes out the second tanker. Presumably those are the two tankers that they have in this position to take them both out is significant. Now we're we're drone three now. Drone three is going to point out the two previous burning Hemet fuel tankers that are used to fuel the tanks and vehicles to carry out these operations. Again, you're seeing the netting in this town. Ineffectual netting draped over positions just identifying where soldiers are. Um This This is the third drone picks up and hits this Jeep. And then the fourth drone is going to come. This is all one after another. Um it's going to hit a D9 armored bulldozer. So two Hemet fuel tankers, a Jeep, and a D9 bulldozer all destroyed because that weapon destroys all of those. And while they're doing that destruction, they're also carrying out intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions, gathering data for the next strike. So that's why these weapons have been so multi-layered in their effectiveness. Um let's look at number 15 cuz this is a few days later. They're going to fly back to this base that is in Russia that is the 401st armored brigade base. And they're showing here in the inset the operations I showed you last week against a Jeep, against a tank, against another Jeep. And they're showing you on the ground there that that's where those Jeeps were. And for the most part, they're gone. This is showing essentially this is all a reconnaissance flight. They're going to fly right up to this window cuz this is where the base was. We saw them strike them. We saw them strike this house multiple times up in that red window. And then on the roof here, we watched them knock off um, technical gear that was Yeah, here the inset they're showing it to you. So, this was last week, you'll all remember. They knock out the, uh, network connectivity of the base. Um, again, picking these are smart targets. The targeting has, um, is as wise as the build of these drones and they have developed week over week. Um, uh, each time here you can see this is where the abandoned, uh, vehicles that were previously targeted were. And this base has been effectively, this forward position has been emptied as you can see, leaving nothing but their, uh, bed sheets hanging out over the, uh, neighborhood. So, that that was what uh, this drone flight over sees that they're gone and tracks them. Oh, there's the husk of the, um, of the tanker that's destroyed that you're seeing in the bottom left there. The two tankers. Um, but this they're on these guys and here they're going to fly off into the distance because they're just going to follow the 401st armored brigade to their next position and they did. Um, so that's how the operation came about and you can see the layers of it. Um, last week's operations leading to the next week's operations leading to pull outs and that's what we're seeing, um, pulling up bases. The Israelis aren't reacting to Hezbollah's operations by increasing the ground force to fight face-to-face. They're increasing the air strikes on civilians. They're not interested in the face-to-face fight and they, uh, whenever they reach those fights, they pull back from them like they did in Hadatha, um, just yesterday. We'll break that down on next week's show. Um, but the, uh, fourth failed attempt, uh, by the Israelis to to reach this, uh, to the reach the village of Hadatha um, repelled by Hezbollah again and the rest of the time we just see these ghost towns where the goal of the Israelis is just to destroy the villages that people have been driven been driven out of um and if they stayed they would be massacred. So that's their choice. Um ethnic cleansing and they're moving the genocide now to South Lebanon because this is a distinct people in South Lebanon as well and the goal is uh to destroy um Shia South Lebanon and so um the genocidal rampage is now into a second country. Um let's look at number 16 because this was the night before um the operation on the 401st. We had This is from the Israeli spokesperson's unit so I didn't have to blur any faces because they've been blurring faces for 2 years cuz they know they're criminals. There's a drone strike hits them uh and this is the medevac of the combat camera uh officer. And if we look at the next slide I have uh put together what they were saying so it's um so she says she says it's a drone. The other person says it's a drone bro and the other person said it's a drone for sure I saw it and then smack everything goes silent and then the next thing you see is someone over top of the soldier saying are you breathing? So that 15 seconds gives you an idea of uh how uh how much time the Israelis have how much situational awareness for soldiers out here looking for the drone. No sirens no indication that it's coming um and it hits directly on the target uh wounding three severely in this strike um the night before um the operation on the 401st uh armored division. Um look So that's 17 right Tamara? Okay 18 here. Um we're going to just get into a whole string of attacks here. This is in Bint Jbeil. Um this is a quadcopter again carrying the RPG anti-tank warhead that you saw. Pretty certainly particularly when Hezbollah showed us that build that these are mostly all uh fiber optic uh connected drones. They deliver that one right into the exhaust of this um Merkava here and that could lead to a mobility kill for sure. You hit the engine like that. Um it could lead to a mobility kill. Um and just a note on this, um when you damage when the vehicles are damaged, the Israelis have whole units out in the field that's job is just to strictly be mechanics and one of those mechanics was named Noah Hamburger and he was killed uh the other day while working on a uh tank that had been hit. Um and his mother said that his dream um was to work with drones and now he's been killed by a drone is what his mom said. He was a tank like I said, a tank mechanic um who would work on an operation like this when you have a drone um knock out the engine, mobility kill, the tank can't move, you're probably going to have to replace much of that engine or parts of that engine. Depends, I suppose. Uh but that's a direct strike. Let's look at 19. Um again going at the fuel tankers. This is um really important target. You cannot uh execute a war without logistics. You know, that goes back to the first days of warfare. And you're going to see here, they're going to hit the tanker from behind as it's It looks like it had just been filling up that tank. But basically becomes the gas station and you can see in the next slide um looks pretty similar to that slide um that it's a it's a gas station and that is how they fuel up their tanks that burn through tons of fuel. And if you knock them out in the same villages in the same sector, um we just watched three of them go up in flames um just in a couple of days. So, um really strong uh targets here. The tank targets um the tank targets are lower probability. Um these, when you hit a HEMTT, when you hit a Humvee, when you hit a D9, when you hit an excavator, you have a 100% virtually 100% kill rate. When you hit the tanks, it's significantly less than that. And they have adapted to that reality uh on the battlefield. So, let's look at 21 cuz these are also high-profile targets that we watched this week. Um the attacks on the Iron Dome system that is supposed to knock these drones out of the sky. And the Israelis bragged in the beginning of May that 27 drones had been shot down by the Iron Dome. Um but Iron Dome doesn't seem to see this one coming. Uh and this is in Shlomi just as and you can see how the launcher on the left is empty and the launcher on the right is full. And they target the full launcher. So, there's a three three and a half three and a half million dollar hit that you just watched right there between the launcher um it's called a missile firing unit. Um but launcher does uh the same. Uh so, yeah, significant hit on that Iron Dome, but let's look at the next Iron Dome, which was um shown to us yesterday. This is one of 15 missile firing units that have been targeted uh along with three radars so far in the battle according to Hezbollah's field reports. We have seen four on camera and you're going to see all four of them um in the next uh 30 seconds or so. Um so this is the one circling back here on it. And direct hit again. You can see that that had dispensed a number of uh interceptor missiles, Tamir interceptor missiles. Each missile is a 100 grand, 20 launchers uh on the in the battery. So, 2 million bucks per um that gets hit, and let's look at the next one is all the three that were before that because there was three operations in a 24-hour window um 2 weeks, week and a half ago. Um, so this is the one we we just saw, but the next two are the two previous ones. So, we've now seen four Iron Dome units be hit on camera just in the last 2 weeks. Uh direct strikes, and this is the uh earlier one uh from those strikes. Again, these are on the Israeli side of the border. You see the border fence there. Um, and then you see the units. And direct hits on the units. And a direct hit on that unit as well. So, let's look at 23 cuz now we're going to do some excavators. Also an excellent target, 100%. This is truly 100% kill rate because these just blow up. They have no armor. Um, they have the massive fuel tank in the back, and they're just they're just destroyed. There's nothing you can do about those. This is an excavator strike in Dair Seryan, which is up at the top of the Galilee panhandle to the northwest. Um, direct hit and 24 is same river valley. You can see the river bed. It's the uh Litani river bed. And again, these excavators are doing nothing but destroying homes and setting up military embankments to try to protect Israeli tanks. So, these are high-quality targets to hit. They might not be as social media friendly as the tank hits cuz everybody seems to uh seems to like the tank hits, but in the way they're fighting this battle, these are truly the targets and they've been doing that significantly. We saw at the beginning they were hitting tanks with a significant like 80% of the FPV ops were against tanks. Now, they're under 40% against tanks and they're taking out all of these vehicles that are difficult to replace. Uh there's a one more 25 Are we on 25 tomorrow? Yes, 25. This one is uh flexing the fiber optic and skimming it right along this berm that they're building and blowing it up. Again, they're building this base uh inside Lebanon. they need these They need these excavators to do that engineering work. 26 is another HEMTT, but this is a different type of HEMTT. A HEMTT is a heavy tactical truck. It's an eight-wheeled truck. And so, they have many different configurations. We saw the fuel configuration, which essentially turns it into a gas station. We saw last week I showed you ones that hit power stations. And here they're going to hit the base station cabinet of a mobile uh wireless uh tower antenna tower. So, you can see that you can see four or five antenna antennas there. And that's on the back of the HEMTT and they just drive it right into the brain. The the base cabinet the base station cabinet, which is what you're looking at. That is the brain of the entire um network connectivity, and they take that out, and that is another uh important hit. So, 27 That was in type A. 27, this is in Manara. This is on the Israeli side of the border, and this is an older attack. This is from early in May, but they see even early in May, they're skipping all of the tanks, all of the armored vehicles. Um and they're hitting here what looks to be a HEMTT. That's actually a wrecker. Um so, it would be the essentially the tow truck that carries um cuz there's another wrecker. There's a Nammer wrecker there right beside it. so, here you can see on the back, you can see the the wrecker. >> And that no longer exists. And we saw the previous HEMTTs, um they get hit by an anti-tank weapon, they explode, they burn into flames, they explode into flames, and burn immediately. Um so, these are off the battlefield. If this war goes on for months, and you're taking out six HEMTTs a week, um this it's has a significant logistical impact on the Israelis. Although, the Israelis don't seem to want to fight anyway, so it might be a good excuse for them to run and hide. Um let's look at 26. Um because I still I still keep even though I believe these tank operations are lower probabilities, I'm still putting them all in there because the Israelis clearly believe the tanks are targets cuz they're putting netting on them. Here's the strike that maybe is aiming for the turret gap, but also that's the driver's compartment right there. If When it comes down, again, if you look on the right-hand side as it's coming in, you'll see the periscope underneath the turret there up in the top there. That's the periscope for the driver. And the driver has that whole space in front of him is the engine, which is why hitting with an RPG directed at the engine is not a high percentage move because the Merkava has the engine in the front. Most tanks have it in the rear. So, you see that hit on the driver station. They hit them a couple of times, which indicates that they believe that there's potential weakness in that spot. That was 28, 29. Chase the soldier here in this operation again at the Manara position. This is near Hula in Lebanon. You can see it's the Israeli side of the border where they it's a massive staging base. You can see on the left he's attempting to run to that shelter. That's a mobile bomb shelter and he's trying to run to it. It's a race. They probably got the warning air hammer. Air hammer incoming. That's what they the Israeli soldiers announced before everyone starts to panic and run around and lose their situational awareness. So, here he is. You can see him attempting to hit that to get into that shelter, blast shelter. We don't know at this point the result of these operations because an anti-tank weapon to to detonate an anti-tank weapon into the ground like that isn't going to be super it's going to to put the charge into the ground. But we have seen and the Israelis have talked about frag sleeves, fragmentation sleeves that are on some of these. So, when it explodes, the shrapnel comes out. And the Israelis are talking about that. So, when you see an operation like this the Israelis seem to believe that there are fragmentation warheads. And if we were to see fragmentation warheads come out in number, that's when it's real trouble for the Israeli soldiers. Um is this 30 here? Let's do 30. Yeah. Perfect. Um This is aiming at a at a Namer hatch. And again, you see they've completely covered the Namer in uh netting there, but the netting is up against the tank. So, it's not stopping. It's still going to detonate in the same place that it was intended to detonate on the That's the hatch the commander's hatch on the Namer. So, um I guess everybody's uh learning on the go here, and the Israelis are slow to uh find a solution. But, this netting is at least more appropriate than draping it across the neighborhood. That made absolutely no sense. Uh let's look at 31, another tank here. This is a Merkava, also up in the same area. These are all organized by geography, basically. And again, that's the uh the driver's compartment that you can see his periscope there. But, if that is aimed underneath the turret gap, that is a very effective place to hit. And that's what it looks like to me that they're attempting to do uh on these ops. Look at 32 is against a truck on a base inside Israel. Um this is in Misgav Am. And you can see the wall uh the base's uh wall, and they're also the high points. And these are the same uh high points that Israel used all through the security. You can see it chasing down the truck here, coming up from behind, uh and hitting the back of the truck with an anti-tank weapon. Again, that makes a mess. Uh we didn't hear casualties in this one, but um you can basically guarantee that it is uh if the unless it was a dud. So, again, lying about their casualties, even though we're watching them with our eyes. Um number 33 is um hitting tactical vehicles. This Land Rover here again, you see we showed this last week. They hit the same site where they put a little bit of netting over top as if it's like a roof. It just doesn't work because the drone can go all the way to the ground. They don't come straight down. It's going to circle back around here. That's a light on in that in that building. He's going to hit this Land Rover here. Destroy a command vehicle. Those Land Rovers are usually used by once in field are used by commanders more often. Um and we'll look at the next one, 34. Um this is ATV in Bayada and again this Bayada base is basically completely empty. If we remember from before, um there was positions all over that that looked like this. And this ATV uh tactical uh tactical ATV gets blown up for sure. That's a 100%. Uh uh kill on that vehicle. 35, um this is the artillery base that we've been reporting on sort of week after week. Uh this is on the 15th of May. It's doing a flyover of drone number one. There's going to be a a couple drones Um but flying over the base and showing that this base is completely empty. These all of these berms that you're seeing, that's where all the tank positions were. This is uh an artillery the 213th artillery brigade position and all of these areas where inside the roads were completely covered with vehicles um with uh there's one vehicle left over here. They've got a a Merkava covered in a tent here and they strike this and you're going to see uh drone number two comes in and it's burning. So, I'm not saying that the uh you know, the tanks are impervious. Um they're they clearly we've seen a number of times um them in flames from these hits. Uh if you get them in the right spot. Um but this is just showing the complete uprooting of that base. They pulled the base up. and these previous attacks that shows where they were. Um and this is going to be another excavator taken out. So, we've seen just on this show two forward positions that are confirmed to be emptied. Um pull up stakes here. They're going to hit a tent here in that uh camp as well. And then one more uh 36 This was uh this is thermal imaging capacity on the drone. A couple of nights before this Israel said they were going to move their operations to the night because it was too dangerous in the day. And Hezbollah shows up immediately with a night vision capability. Picks off two soldiers here that you're going to see. They'll show you these two here. One [snorts] goes one way and one goes the other. Uh but uh the Israelis thought that darkness would would keep them safe and it clearly did not. And for Hezbollah to use that basically when the announcement was made. This is basically the next night after that announcement. So, the first opportunity for darkness Hezbollah flexed uh its uh thermal capacity uh that the Israelis denied they had. Um 37 just shows you the still of the that soldier there that you can see. And one last one from Iran. Uh the Iranians shot down a another uh MQ-9 Reaper yesterday over the Persian Gulf, they said, over their airspace over the Persian Gulf. This is one of 30 plus Reapers, minimum 30 Reapers that have been downed by Iran during this war. So, another 30 plus million dollars. You can see it being essentially vaporized there in those uh in that footage. So, I just wanted to bring that. Uh not going to get too into Iran because of the uh just ridiculous uh diplomacy of United States that doesn't match anything that the Iranians are saying, but we will stay on that story as we always do. And this has been the resistance report for day 965 of Israel's genocide in Gaza.
