I'd never heard of her, so I looked her up. Found a trove of over 300 photos, some in color. She'd be a lot more attractive if she smiled more.

There doesn't seem to be anything newsworthy going on, except for the Ebola case they flew in earlier today, and the medical supply warehouse that got burned down in the Bay Area (in a town called Tracy) last night. Always these coincidences, it's the synchronicity, I tell ya! "A sleep trance, a dream dance A shared romance, synchronicity!"

Troops of Operation Hadin Kai have arrested two suspected Boko Haram/Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) logistics suppliers in separate operations conducted in Borno State.
According to a special operational report by the Headquarters Joint Task Force (North-East), Operation Hadin Kai, the suspects were apprehended during intelligence-led operations aimed at disrupting terrorist support networks in the state.
The report stated that the first suspect, identified as Musa Idi, was arrested at about 2:00 p.m. on June 8 by troops of the 162 Amphibious Battalion at a checkpoint along the Mandaragirau-Sabon Gari road.
Items recovered from the suspect included five containers of Atraforce
…a Triazine compound used as pre-and early-post emergence herbicide for the control of annual weed in forestry, established grasses, and dryland farming…
chemical, five containers of Kelisate herbicide, 100 sachets of tramadol
…an opioid medication used to treat moderate to moderately severe chronic pain in adults…
capsules and two small nylon bags containing suspected smoked substances.
Military sources said the suspect is currently undergoing preliminary investigation at the Abogo Largema Military Cantonment to determine the extent of his involvement with terrorist elements operating in the area.
In a related development, troops of the 19 Battalion and 25 Brigade Garrison, working in conjunction with members of the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF), arrested another suspect, Abu Aji, during a patrol at the Damboa market later the same day.

[KavkazUzel] Investigators in Ingushetia have opened a criminal case against a 54-year-old local resident suspected of aiding a terrorist organization.
According to investigators, in January 2025, a local resident, a follower of a group operating in Ingushetia and banned in Russia, assisted individuals wanted for terrorist crimes.
He had previously been arrested on suspicion of other crimes and was remanded in custody, the Investigative Committee of Ingushetia reported today on its Telegram channel.
A criminal case was opened based on materials from the regional FSB under Part 1 of Article 205.4, which carries a sentence of fifteen to twenty years in prison.
The agency did not name the suspect or specify which community he belonged to.
So we don’t know who, what, why, or for whom, but at least we know somebody did something in Ingushetia. Grrrrr.
As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," in mid-May, the case of a resident of the village of Sagopshi, accused of participating in the activities of an illegal armed group, a cell of an international terrorist organization, was sent to court. Previously, three residents of Ingushetia were sentenced to lengthy prison terms after being found by the court to be accomplices of members of the illegal armed group killed during the counter-terrorist operation in Karabulak.
Another one! It looks like they’re rolling up the entire group — congrats, guys!
[IsraelTimes] Greek police sources link case to recent arrest of two Palestinians in Cyprus suspected of plotting attacks on Israeli targets in Europe and Asia
Greek judges on Thursday ordered the detention pending trial of a Paleostinian accused of being part of a Hamas ..the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,... -linked network plotting attacks on Israeli targets in Europa ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... and Asia, legal and police sources said.
The 37-year-old suspect, who denies wrongdoing, was detained on June 6 on the island of Crete, in a joint operation by Greece’s intelligence service and police anti-terrorism unit, authorities said.
Police confiscated mobile phones, a laptop and hard discs from his residences and Sherlocks found evidence he had ordered online materials that could be used to make explosives but had not received them.
His lawyer told Rooters the evidence was thin and revealed inconsistencies.
"The defendant’s character, mindset and overall demeanor bear no resemblance to the profile of a criminal or terrorist. Rather, he appears to have been cast as a scapegoat in a case founded on tenuous evidence and riddled with significant gaps," said criminal defense lawyer Spyridon Pantazis.
The arrest in Greece follows the detention of two Paleostinians, aged 32 and 38, in Cyprus on May 22. They are under investigation for terrorism-related activities after explosive-making materials were found during searches, police have said.
According to Greek police sources, the two cases are linked.
One of the suspects detained in Cyprus told authorities there he believed their recruiters planned attacks in Greece, Cyprus, The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor... , Myanmar, Thailand and Malaysia, where they received training on explosives, the sources said.
The 37-year-old man arrested in Crete arrived in Greece in 2023 after living for years in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... , and was granted asylum. The probe found that in 2025 he travelled to Malaysia where he met one of the men later detained in Cyprus.
The detainees in Cyprus had met Hamas members in Istanbul, the sources said.
Greek Citizen Protection Minister Michalis Chrysochoidis told Skai radio on Wednesday that the two cases point to a wider network trying to plan terrorist acts in Europe.
A court in Cyprus on Thursday ordered the arraignment of the two suspects arrested there and a third individual before a criminal court on August 6. They face terrorism-linked charges and membership in an outlawed organization, the semi-official Cyprus News Agency reported.
[IsraelTimes] As the IDF seeks to erect, for the first time, a permanent post in an area meant to be fully controlled by the Paleostinian Authority, two soldiers involved in that effort were maimed by an bomb on Thursday.
The post is set to be built in the northern West Bank’s Jenin refugee camp. During a scan of the area, troops spotted a suspicious object that then went kaboom!, seriously wounding an officer and lightly wounding a noncommissioned officer, according to the IDF, which was still probing what set off the blast.
The two maimed troops were taken to a hospital, and their families were notified, the army said.
The military has sealed off the Jenin refugee camp since a counter-terrorism operation began in early 2025 that displaced tens of thousands of people in Jenin and other refugee camps in the northern West Bank.
The post in Jenin would mark the first time the IDF has set up a permanent presence in the part of the West Bank designated as Area A. Under the 1990s-era Oslo Accords, Area A, which includes major Paleostinian population centers, was placed under the civil and security control of the PA, a governing body established by that agreement.
The Haaretz newspaper first reported Thursday on the military’s plan to establish a permanent post in Jenin. The report cited IDF Supreme Court filings that responded to a petition by the Association for Civil Rights in Israel against the mass displacement in the area.
According to the report, the IDF told the court that the new post is "intended to replace the presence of forces in residents’ homes, and regulate the deployment of forces in the area from a long-term perspective, as part of implementing the operational conditions for a safe exit from the camp."
United Nations ...a formerly good idea gone bad... data cited in court filings in the petition said 33,000 Paleostinians remain displaced since the 2025 operation, according to Haaretz.
BREAKING: As a result of the ballistic missile strike of the IRGC Aerospace Force at Muwaffaq Al-Salti Air Base in Jordan, at least three F-16AM/BM Fighting Falcon fighter jets of the Royal Jordanian Air Force have been damaged or destroyed.

BREAKING: As a result of the ballistic missile strike of the IRGC Aerospace Force at Muwaffaq Al-Salti Air Base in Jordan, at least three F-16AM/BM Fighting Falcon fighter jets of the Royal Jordanian Air Force have been damaged or destroyed.
One of the ballistic missiles hit the parking area used by the RJAF's F-16s at the base.
As yet, there are no reports regarding damage to or destruction of U.S. military aircraft stationed at the air base.
This “punitive operation against the aggressor” targeted “Al-Azraq Air Base and its control center, using 12 ballistic missiles,” the IRGC says, as quoted by the Tasnim news agency, claiming to have destroyed these facilities “and a large number of fighter aircraft.”
“At dawn on Thursday, Jordanian air defense systems and the Royal Jordanian Air Force intercepted and shot down 20 missiles that had been launched from Iran towards the Azraq area in Zarqa governorate,” a statement quotes a military official as saying, referring to an area about 80 kilometers (50 miles) east of Amman.
“The interception resulted in the fall of a number of fragments, without any human casualties or material damage,” the statement adds.
Starting his career in 2005 by the means of anonymously writing articles about the history of the Iranian Air Force for Iranian websites...
He then co-authored his first book about the Iranian Air Force in 2010. In 2011, he became one of two supervisors of the Iranian Air Force’s historical research project 'Historical Identity of IRIAF' to document the history of the force and to write books about the subject.
In the same year, he was invited by one of the Iranian defence companies to work as civilian innovator and advisor of the Iranian Air Force’s aircraft upgrade projects while he was a student in two Iranian universities.

His article in the July issue of Combat Aircraft Journal on the rescue of the downed F-15E aircrew also seemed to be full of Iranian propaganda drivel, expounding on the tremendous costs and losses to USAF in the operation in the face of heroic Iranian opposition.
[IsraelTimes] Khaled al-Aydi, said to be a Palestinian refugee from Syria with Ukrainian citizenship, was held by Hezbollah, then escaped and disappeared, apparently via Ukrainian embassy
As Israeli warplanes pounded Beirut’s southern suburbs last March and residents fled in panic, one man found his opportunity. Amid the chaos, he slipped out of his imprisonment in a Hezbollah cell and made his way to the green hills overlooking the Lebanese capital.
There, in the posh diplomatic quarter of Baabda, he disappeared inside the gates of the Ukrainian Embassy.
Where he is now is a mystery, tangled up in an ongoing spy game as Hezbollah attempts to root out Israeli intelligence operatives that have infiltrated the terror group.
The man identified by Lebanese officials as Khaled al-Aydi is said to be a Paleostinian refugee from Syria who also holds Ukrainian citizenship. He were tossed into the calaboose by Hezbollah in the Beirut suburbs and accused by Lebanese officials of being part of a thwarted Israeli intelligence plot to carry out bombings and liquidations.
Details of al-Aydi’s escape and a Lebanese military court’s case against him were provided by three judicial officials and two security bigshots in Leb ...home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade.... who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment publicly. A senior political official in Hezbollah also provided details.
Al-Aydi’s disappearance could have political implications for the Lebanese government, which has largely remained silent about the case.
If evidence were to emerge that al-Aydi escaped Lebanon with help from the government, it could inflame tensions with Hezbollah’s largely Shiite Moslem base. The government already faces scrutiny for directly negotiating with Israel, which has been engaged in fierce fighting with Hezbollah ever since the terror group started firing missiles and drones at northern Israel during the early days of the Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... war.
The Ukrainian embassy asked Lebanese authorities in March to facilitate al-Aydi’s departure from the country after he escaped Hezbollah detention, according to a Lebanese government document obtained by The News Agency that Dare Not be Named. But Lebanon’s General Security agency refused, saying a judicial warrant for his arrest had been issued in September 2025, according to the document.
Israel’s Mosssd ...sees all, knows all, gets 'em all in the end... intelligence agency declined to comment. Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry also declined comment.
A Ukrainian official with knowledge of the case said al-Aydi is not in the Ukrainian Embassy or its compound in Lebanon. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation, would not say where al-Aydi is — and out of concern for the security of Ukraine’s embassy and its personnel, would not say whether al-Aydi was ever in the embassy, or whether Ukraine helped him escape.
ISRAEL’S INTELLIGENCE NETWORKS
Using human and high-tech surveillance, Israel has cultivated far-reaching intelligence networks in Lebanon. That has helped it carry out dramatic operations against Hezbollah.
In the most elaborate example, Israel infiltrated Hezbollah’s supply chain and sent the Iran-backed terror group thousands of booby-trapped pagers and walkie-talkies. Israel remotely detonated the devices in September 2024, killing at least 37 people. Days later, Israeli Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s killed Hezbollah’s longtime leader, His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah ...The late, lamented satrap of the Medes and the Persians in Leb...> , while he was hiding in a heavily fortified bunker.
Even before that, Israel’s intelligence within Hezbollah allowed it to hit the group’s big shots and field commanders "with relative ease," said Nicholas Blanford, an expert on the terror group at the Atlantic Council.
Since the 2024 Israel-Hezbollah war, Hezbollah and Lebanese authorities have cracked down on alleged spy networks. About 50 people have been convicted and are serving sentences, while others remain under investigation, the judicial officials said.
"We were successful in detecting many spy networks, and the state was also successful in this matter," Hezbollah political official Wafiq Safa ...Leb security guy and a senior Hezbully. As head of Hezbollah's Liaison and Coordination Unit since the late 1980s, reporting directly to the group's Secretary-General, Safa heads the organization's security services and manages the group's relationships in Leba's pot o' perfidy that passes for politics. He is sometimes referred to as the Minister of Defense or Minister of the Interior of Hezbollah. Safa was a member of cell involved in facilitating the 1983 Beirut barracks bombings, alongside Ibrahim Aqil, before joining Hezbollah in 1984.... , said. But "the Israelis are always working to recruit young Lebanese people from all communities."
AL-AYDI DOESN’T FIT THE PROFILE OF OTHER ALLEGED SPIES
Many alleged spy networks have involved current or former Hezbollah members or individuals with family ties to the group.
Al-Aydi, in contrast, was an outsider. He had Ukrainian citizenship through his mother, according to the Lebanese government document AP obtained. It is not known how he was allegedly recruited by Israel.
Hundreds of thousands of Syrians came to Lebanon for refuge during Syria’s 14-year civil war. But al-Aydi entered the country in August 2025 on a flight from Æthiopia, one of the Lebanese security officials said.
While Hezbollah began in the 1980s as a small guerrilla operation fighting Israel’s occupation of southern Lebanon, it greatly expanded after its 2006 war with Israel, making it "easier for the Israelis to penetrate," Blanford said. The group’s entry into the Syrian civil war further exposed it, as recruitment standards were lowered, he said.
Lebanon’s economic crisis also aided Israel’s recruitment efforts, Blanford said.
Cases filed in Lebanon’s military court describe operatives being paid between $2,500 and $20,000 to provide intelligence on Hezbollah weapons depots and political offices. Many of the alleged agents were recruited by Israeli handlers through social media, judicial officials said.
One high-profile case was Mohammad Hadi Saleh, a singer and prominent religious performer within circles connected to Hezbollah. He was arrested in May 2025 and charged with providing the Mossad with maps and coordinates of key Hezbollah sites later struck in Israeli operations. He is in jail awaiting trial.
"It’s ironic that they (Hezbollah) were spending a lot of time accusing their opponents of being Israeli spies, and it turns out that the spies were actually from within the organization and its support base," said Mohanad Hage Ali, a senior fellow at the Malcolm H. Kerr Carnegie Middle East Center in Beirut.
Recruitment efforts continue. During the latest war, Israel has dropped leaflets over Lebanon with QR codes that, according to the Lebanese army, direct people to an Israeli military unit tasked with recruiting agents.
AL-AYDI IS THOUGHT TO HAVE FLED THE COUNTRY
Lebanon’s General Security said in October it had broken up a network planning bombings and liquidations in Lebanon, including an operation meant to target events for the one-year commemoration of Nasrallah’s death. Authorities discovered a cycle of violence rigged with explosives and a car modified to hold explosives, security and judicial officials said.
Al-Aydi and six others, all Lebanese, were charged. One of the six also escaped, and the others are in a Lebanese jail awaiting trial, the judicial officials said. Only al-Aydi was being held by Hezbollah, likely because he was seen as a high-value catch.
The military court alleges the operation was orchestrated by a Mossad handler living in Germany who communicated with others through encrypted applications. The court sent a summons to the Ukrainian embassy that went unanswered.
Safa said there was an unsuccessful attempt to smuggle al-Aydi out of Lebanon to Syria. He did not elaborate.
The two senior Lebanese security officials said al-Aydi is believed to have left the country. It was not clear whether he crossed into Syria, where officials said they had no information about him.
ALLEGED SPY’S DISAPPEARANCE RAISES POLITICAL TENSIONS
Relations between the Lebanese government and Hezbollah are at a low point. The government was angered by the terror group’s unilateral decision to enter another war with Israel, while Hezbollah is furious the government has chosen to negotiate a ceasefire and potentially wider security and political agreement directly with Israel.
Al-Aydi’s escape could exacerbate tensions and put the Lebanese state in a difficult situation.
If Lebanese authorities refused to let al-Aydi leave the country, the US and Ukraine were "well-positioned to exert significant pressure" to secure his release, Hage Ali said. On the other hand, if the state is seen to have let al-Aydi escape, it would face "public anger, predominantly among Lebanese Shia" sympathetic to Hezbollah, which could use that emotion to inflame internal tensions, he said.

[Regnum] The United States and Iran have reached an agreement to end the conflict. This was announced by US President Donald Trump on June 11 while answering journalists' questions at the White House.
"We just reached excellent agreements to end the war with Iran. We'll finalize the paperwork. It should be done within a few days," the politician explained.
Trump added that the agreement could be signed as early as this weekend in Europe. He clarified that he would not be present at the signing, but Vice President J.D. Vance would represent the United States.
Earlier, US President Trump canceled the strikes on Iran planned for the evening of June 11 and announced that the parties had agreed to a deal. He emphasized that Washington would soon officially announce the exact time and location of the agreement signing. At the same time, the head of the White House clarified that the previously imposed naval blockade would remain in full force and effect without any relaxation.
On the night of June 11, the Pentagon's Central Command (CENTCOM) announced that the United States had begun strikes on multiple targets in Iran. The operation was reportedly launched by order of US Army Commander-in-Chief Donald Trump. In response, Iran announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran's permanent representative to the UN, Amir Saeed Iravani, said Trump should refrain from threatening Iran, as Tehran never negotiates under threats or pressure.
The US and Israel launched a military campaign against Iran in late February, but a ceasefire had been in effect since April, and US-Iranian negotiations were ongoing. On June 1, Tehran announced a suspension of contacts with Washington. The reason was that Israel continued to strike Lebanon, despite a ceasefire being one of the conditions of the negotiations.
More from regnum.ru Trump canceled the strikes on Iran planned for the evening of June 11.
US President Donald Trump canceled the strikes on Iran planned for the evening of June 11 and announced that the parties had agreed to a deal.
"Based on the fact that discussions with the Islamic Republic of Iran have been escalated to the highest levels of Iranian leadership and approved, I, as President of the United States of America, have cancelled the strikes and bombings planned for this evening," the American leader wrote on the social network TruthSocial.
Trump emphasized that Washington will soon officially announce the exact time and place where the agreement will be signed. He asserted that the final text and key parameters of the future treaty will be agreed upon by all parties to the negotiations: the United States, Iran, Israel, Turkey, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Jordan, Qatar, Kuwait, and several other countries.
At the same time, the head of the White House clarified that the previously introduced naval blockade regime will continue to operate in full force and without any relaxation.
Netanyahu reportedly not given heads-up about Trump’s announcement, was caught off guard
[IsraelTimes] Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was not given a heads-up before US President Donald Trump called off further strikes against Iran and said a deal could soon be signed, with the announcement catching him off guard, the Axios news site reports, citing a source with knowledge of the matter.
Should anything actually be signed at some point, then Israel will do what she must.
Baghaei says reports regarding a time and place of signing the agreement remain speculative, and that nothing had been finalized. He adds that a large part of the negotiating text has been finalized, but the US repeatedly changed its positions during the talks.
In a statement that sought to downplay the significance of the potential agreement, Netanyahu’s office confirmed the premier had spoken over the phone with Trump about “the emerging memorandum of understanding with Iran regarding entry into negotiations.”
Netanyahu sounded off optimistically in the phone call, according to his office’s statement.
“Although Israel is not a party to the memorandum of understanding,” Netanyahu’s office said, “the prime minister expressed his appreciation for President Trump’s commitment that the final agreement reached at the conclusion of the negotiations will include the removal of enriched material, the dismantling of enrichment infrastructure, limitations on missile production, and the cessation of Iran’s support for its terrorist proxies in the region.”

Gotta say that Trump seems to be making agreements with himself and not letting anyone else in on the process. Getting enough whiplash to need a personal injury lawyer
Islamic Iran has never dealt in good faith or honored it private agreements. It has constantly used its 2 faced deceptive manner to further its own agenda and make other leaders look like fools.
One thing is for sure.
The rulers and military leaders know if they don't come out of this looking like they held off the USA and other nations, it is their death warrant.

Here's a wild, probably absurd idea: the US, Israel & non IRGC Iranians are all working toward getting rid of the IRGC for good.
Wild and absurd perhaps, but also the situation in a nutshell.
One faction that gets little mention is the Bonyads - basically tax-exempt foundations and charities that control a lot of wealth and are aligned with the IRGC. You can think of them together as Iran's military-industrial complex. War would reduce both their influence and their wealth. More here
The IRGC are True Believers(tm) and will fight to the end. The other players may be fanatical to varying degrees but are much less interested in suicide, however glorious. If the others can "outvote" the IRGC, we avoid the Big Bada Boom. Hopefully, the Iranians will see reason. If not, we will bring reason to them.
I think it was Yogi who said "To subdue the enemy without fighting is the Acme of skill".

The Israeli military says it has achieved "operational control" over the Wadi Saluki stream area in southern Lebanon, around 10 kilometers from the border.
Troops of the 7th Armored Brigade and Egoz Commando Unit "completed an operation to achieve operational control and clear the area north of the Saluki stream" of Hezbollah infrastructure, the IDF says.
The IDF says the operation is part of its efforts "to strengthen operational control in southern Lebanon and remove the direct threat to the communities of the Galilee Panhandle and Metula."
The senior officer’s announcement came as one of the terror group’s drones moderately injured an IDF soldier in south Leb ...The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. Only one of those statements is an exaggeration.... Israel has recently stepped up its offensive in Lebanon against Hezbollah amid anger in northern Israel that months of fighting have not brought quiet to border communities that face rocket and drone attacks.
The IDF’s 36th Division pushed deeper into southern Lebanon in recent days and is now operating on the outskirts of Arnoun, a village just a few kilometers from Nabatieh, according to the senior officer.
According to the military official, who spoke to the media on condition of anonymity, the division conducted clandestine operations along the Litani River ahead of the push, building a new bridge to cross the waterway in a valley that was not under surveillance by the terror group. Once the bridge was built, armored vehicles were able to cross and quickly advance northward undetected.
Nabatieh is northwest of Beaufort Castle, which the IDF retook late last month after evacuating it 26 years ago.
The official said that depending on the decisions of Israeli leaders, the division could advance further north, into Nabatieh, or alternatively head west and continue operations against the terror group along the Litani River.
"Hezbollah is retreating, but it is holding on to the Nabatieh line, where it really wants to prevent our occupation," the official said, adding that the goal of either operation would be to further weaken Hezbollah.
The IDF also said on Thursday that it carried out a raid in the Wadi Saluki stream area to draw Hezbollah’s attention there, with the push catching the group by surprise.
In an official statement, the military said it achieved "operational control" over the Wadi Saluki stream area, around 10 kilometers (6 miles) from the border.
Troops of the 7th Armored Brigade and Egoz Commando Unit "completed an operation to achieve operational control and clear the area north of the Saluki stream" of Hezbollah infrastructure, the IDF said.
The IDF said the operation is part of its efforts "to strengthen operational control in southern Lebanon and remove the direct threat to the [Israeli border] communities of the Galilee Panhandle and Metula."
"The Saluki stream area is used by the Hezbollah terror organization as infrastructure for operating explosive drones and carrying out rocket fire against IDF troops operating in the area," the military said.
During the operation, the ground troops and the Israeli Air Force struck and destroyed hundreds of Hezbollah sites and killed over 50 members of the terror group, the IDF said, adding that troops also captured weapons, including anti-tank missiles and explosives.
SOLDIER WOUNDED BY EXPLOSIVE DRONE
Earlier, the military said an IDF soldier was moderately injured by an explosive drone launched by Hezbollah in southern Lebanon.
The IDF said the servicewoman, who serves in the Artillery Corps, was taken to a hospital for treatment, and her family was notified.
Israel has struggled to fend off growing attacks on troops in southern Lebanon and northern Israel by Hezbollah’s first-person view drones, which are largely impervious to jamming technology. The terror group has also fired rockets and other types of UAVs, hitting both military and civilian targets.
The senior officer who spoke about Nabatieh noted that Hezbollah drone attacks were still a key challenge for the military, but said there had been a decline in the number of successful attacks on troops in recent days.
"We have introduced ammunition that should make this easier and we have good interception rates," the official said.
He said that troops had found fiber-optic cable-guided FPV drones with large spools of cable, enabling ranges of 15 and 20 kilometers (roughly nine and 12 miles).
Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency reported that Israeli strikes on Thursday targeted several areas in southern Lebanon and a village in the Baalbek region in the east, far from the Israeli border.
A strike maimed 10 staff members of a hospital in the Lebanese city of Tyre on Thursday, the facility’s director told AFP.
"An area located around 15 meters [50 feet] from the hospital was targeted, and 10 members of the medical and administrative staff were maimed," said Dr Salman Aydibi, who runs Hiram hospital.
He said the strike shattered windows and damaged cars parked in front of the facility.
"This is the sixth time that the area of the hospital has been targeted by Israeli raids since the start of the war," he said.
In response to a query, the military said it was unaware of any Israeli strikes in the area at that time.
Also, after sirens sounded in northern towns, the IDF said that two rockets fired by Hezbollah impacted in an area near where troops are operating in southern Lebanon.
In another clash, the IDF reported it killed several Hezbollah operatives who tried to flee from a major tunnel system near Beaufort Castle.
Several days ago, a drone piloted by commandos of the Egoz unit identified Hezbollah operatives inside one of the tunnel routes. Footage published by the IDF shows one of the Hezbollah button men firing on the drone.
The military said that as the operatives fled out of the tunnel, the Israeli Air Force struck and killed them.
NETANYAHU VOWS TO RESTORE NORTHERN SECURITY
Speaking at a special cabinet meeting in the Galilee city of Nof HaGalil, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu acknowledged the ongoing challenge posed by Hezbollah attack drones.
"We are striking Hezbollah very hard, eliminating hundreds of murderous Moslems every week," he said at the start of the meeting. "We still have more challenges. A particular challenge is drones. We are working on it."
"We will restore security to the north and create security in the north just as we did in the south," Netanyahu promised. "People did not believe us when we said the south would recover and prosper — they said it was boastful talk, an empty promise. Today, they can see the results."
Netanyahu was referring to damage caused by the October 7, 2023, Hamas ..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,... -led invasion and massacre in southern Israel that triggered the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks.

The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... war.
Hezbollah and Israel also fought a conflict after October 7, when the Iran-backed terror group began firing missiles across the border following the attack.
The current bout of conflict began when Hezbollah started attacking northern Israel with rockets and drones in support of Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... days after the US and Israel launched the war with the Islamic Theocratic Republic in late February.
An April ceasefire in Lebanon collapsed, and the fighting has continued despite a new conditional truce deal announced last week after Lebanese-Israeli talks in Washington.
Iran insists that Lebanon must be part of any agreement to end the wider Middle East war.

In a post on X , Guterres added that there must be a comprehensive ceasefire and said he "fully" supports a monopoly on weapons by the Lebanese government.

Weapons Next to a Baby Crib: This Is What Hezbollah’s Human Shield Strategy Looks Like
During IDF operations in the villages of Zawtar al-Gharbiya and Zawtar al-Sharqiya in southern Lebanon, several Hezbollah weapons depots were discovered inside civilian buildings. In one of the structures, which had been used by Hezbollah’s Radwan Force, dozens of weapons were found next to a baby crib, in a bedroom, and in the living room of a civilian home.
Significant weapons seized include at least one Claymore anti-personnel mine, one PKM light machine gun, one RPG-30, one fire optic cabled FPV drone with an RPG attached, an Iranian copy of a Steyr HS .50 anti-material rifle, and several explosive formed penetrators.
Nearly three years after the October 7, 2023 Hamas-led massacre in Israel, and more than six months after US President Donald Trump announced his ceasefire initiative for the Gaza Strip, one reality remains painfully clear: Hamas is still armed, still in control of large parts of the Gaza Strip, and still openly refusing to surrender its weapons.
This week, mediators from Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey gathered in Cairo with Hamas leaders and representatives of several Palestinian factions in yet another attempt to persuade the Iran-backed Islamist group to comply with Trump's peace plan, which calls for the demilitarization of the Gaza Strip and the decommissioning of weapons held by Hamas and other armed groups.
That Hamas is still negotiating the issue of disarmament nearly three years after October 7 is in itself a damning indictment of the international approach toward the terrorist group. If there were any doubts about Hamas's intentions, the latest round of talks should put them to rest.
According to reports from the meetings, Hamas continues to set conditions before it would even consider surrendering its weapons. Among its demands are a full Israeli withdrawal to the border, increased humanitarian aid, guarantees for the safety of its leaders and members, the dismantling of armed groups it claims are backed by Israel, and the integration of its administrative personnel into any future governing structure in the Gaza Strip.
