INTEL: ISRAEL ALREADY PLANNING "PRE-EMPTIVE STRIKE" IN LEBANON
After my radio show went off the air for the night, I received several ALERTS from former Intel Colleagues confirming to me "Israel is going pre-emptive."
The Israeli Defense Force has decided they will engage in PRE-EMPTIVE STRIKES against Hezbollah in Lebanon, BEFORE Hezbollah and/or Iran can strike Israel back for the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh!
Earlier today, I reported COVERT INTEL to my subscribers from the White House Situation Room wherein Biden and Senior Administration Officials were told "The war will begin tomorrow . . . ." meaning Wednesday.
In that story, I wondered aloud how they could be so certain, since it is Iran that decides when they attack Israel for the assassination that Israel perpetrated in Tehran.
One of the options which I outlined in that COVERT INTEL story was the possibility that the US KNEW the start date because Israel would attack pre-emptively.
Now, it appears that assessment was right on the money.
I can confirm now (11:24 PM Tuesday night) that Israel IS going to pre-emptively attack Hezbollah in Lebanon. As such, there is now no doubt in my mind whatsoever, that "the war" will begin Wednesday.
I earnestly hope you have all your preps because if Israel attacks over there, it is completely possible that Iran Sleeper Cells will commence attacks OVER HERE
RUSSIA SAID TO BE DELIVERING ADVANCED AIR DEFENSES TO IRAN AS TEHRAN TOUTS TIES.

The Shaheen 3 missile is a two-stage, solid-fueled medium-range ballistic missile in development by Pakistan. The missile is reportedly capable of carrying both nuclear and conventional payloads to a range of 2,750 km, which makes it the longest range missile in Pakistan’s strategic arsenal.
It was first publicly displayed during a military parade in March 2016.
The Shaheen 3 is road-mobile and reportedly mounted on a Chinese transporter erector launcher.
EGYPT REJECTS ISRAELI REQUEST TO HELP FOIL IRANIAN RETALIATION.
Egypt has turned down an Israeli request to join a group of countries to defend it against a possible retaliatory attack by Iran or its regional proxies, sources briefed on the matter told The National on Monday. They said Israel was informed of Egypt’s position during talks in Cairo on Saturday between top Egyptian intelligence and security officials and a visiting Israeli delegation led by David Barnea, head of Israel’s Mossad and Ronen Bar of Shin Bet.
Egypt’s role in the case of such an attack, the Israeli officials were told, will be restricted to the defense of its maritime and land borders as well as its airspace, according to the sources. "We told them that our role will only be the defense of our country in the event of an attack on Israel," said one of the sources.

"34 years were spent to build israel’s factories, all of them can be destroyed. In an hour, they can vanish."
Israel fearful of Iran, Hezbollah response to assassinations: Nasrallah
The secretary general of Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement says the Western countries’ aid to Israel indicates that the occupying regime is incapable of defending itself and is fearful of Iran and the resistance’s response to recent assassinations in the region.
Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah made the remarks in a televised speech on Tuesday to commemorate top-ranking Hezbollah military commander Fuad Shukr, who was assassinated in an Israeli airstrike in the suburbs of southern Beirut last week.
Nasrallah went on to say that the West’s delivery of arms to defend Israel against the resistance's retaliatory attacks demonstrates Tel Aviv’s incapability to defend itself.
"Israel is not as strong as it was before this war, and its prestige and military capability are no longer as they were," he said.
Iran: Hezbollah will hit ‘broader, deeper’ Israeli targets
Less than a day after assassinating Shukr in Beirut, Israel assassinated o Hamas’s Political Bureau Chief Ismail Haniyeh in the Iranian capital, Tehran. The back-to-back targeted killings pushed the region to the brink, with Iran and Hezbollah vowing a harsh punishment for the Israeli regime.
The Hezbollah chief noted that Israel is highly anxious about Iran and Hezbollah’s imminent attacks in response to the assassinations, adding that this is the reason why it is asking the United States and Western countries to defend it.

He said targeting Hezbollah leaders will not weaken the movement’s resolve to continue its path, underlining that the recent assassinations will not alter the fundamental nature of the resistance front either.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Nasrallah said the recent developments show the true goal of Benjamin Netanyahu's cabinet is uprooting Palestinians from the Gaza Strip.
He said Netanyahu does not want a ceasefire in Gaza and seeks to “establish total security control” over the blockaded territory.
He also warned that the Israeli regime seeks to annex the occupied West Bank and expel Palestinians from there, calling on regional countries to wake up to the danger of Zionism.

UK travel alerts issued worldwide
Australia, Malaysia, Nigeria, Indonesia, the UAE and India have all advised their citizens to stay away amid riots
Several countries, including Australia, Malaysia and Indonesia, have issued safety warnings to their citizens about travelling to the UK in light of widespread anti-immigration protests across the country.
Multiple demonstrations turned violent across Britain over the weekend, as anti-immigration protesters clashed with police following the murder of three children by a teenager of African descent last week.
According to media reports, at least five countries have now issued travel warnings to their citizens.
Malaysia was the first country to issue a notice to its citizens in the UK on Sunday, urging them to “stay away from protest areas” and “remain vigilant.”
The Indonesian Embassy in London issued a similar appeal, urging its citizens in the UK to be cautious, especially if traveling or doing activities outside the home, and to “avoid large crowds and places that have the potential to become gathering places for masses or groups of demonstrators.”
Nigeria issued a travel alert on Monday, warning its citizens planning to visit the UK that demonstrations in parts of the UK have been “large and in some instances unruly” and that “there is an increased risk of violence and disorder.”
In its warning on Monday, the Australian government also advised its citizens to “exercise a high degree of caution,” saying: “Avoid areas where protests are occurring due to the potential for disruption and violence.”

On Monday, the official account of the UAE Embassy in London urged citizens of the country to “exercise the necessary precautions and avoid crowded areas.”
India is the latest nation to have issued a warning. On Tuesday morning, the High Commission of India in London reportedly said it was “closely monitoring the situation,” and warned Indian citizens to “stay vigilant and exercise due caution while traveling in the UK” and avoid any areas where protests may be taking place.
Dozens of British towns and cities have been rocked by protests against immigration and Islam since last Monday, when a British teenager of Rwandan descent stabbed three children to death and injured ten others in the town of Southport, near Liverpool.
