At this minute it is 8:52 PM in Jerusalem and there is absolutely no word out of Israel about the War Cabinet.
No word as to whether or not their meeting is concluded or still in progress. No word on any decision having been made about invading Lebanon.
IDF is still moving heavy equipment to the Lebanon Border but already has more than sufficient gear to commence an invasion.
Utter silence out of Israel right now.
From Lebanon, similar silence.
No word about any troop incursions from or by Israel. No word of any take-offs of Israeli fighter jets in any quantity.
No word about any Israeli naval movements at, toward or even near the Lebanon coastline.
No word of any fighter jets taking off or Naval Vessels departing from the island of Cypress
All those things and places are under constant surveillance right now by factions from Lebanon.
Just silence.

*** BULLETIN ***
LEBANON MAKES IT OFFICIAL:
Elias Abu Saab (Deputy speaker of the Lebanese Parliament) to Al Jazeera: "If civilian casualties happen, or Beirut and its suburbs are targeted, we will not consider this a measured and limited response.
With the following:
Any strike on Beirut and the suburbs will be met with a strike on Gush Dan and Jerusalem.
We're gonna consider the Americans equally complicit as well"
COVERT INTEL: (BEING LEFT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC BECAUSE THEY NEED TO KNOW TOO . . . .)
The Israeli Government intends to launch a series of significant and broad Strikes against Hezbollah Targets throughout Lebanon including in the suburbs of Beirut, as well as Sites of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’s Quds Force in both Northern Lebanon and Syria. Members of the War Cabinet have authorized prime minister Netanyahu and defense minister Gallant to decide on the manner of the response against Hezbollah, and the timing
UPDATE 4:53 PM EDT --
-- Hezbollah threatens Israel, stating: “If you hit Beirut or the southern suburbs, we will target Tel Aviv and other areas.”

Note to General Public (News updates RESUME beneath this area):
I have been up covering these developments since 3:51 AM eastern US time. NO OTHER media outlet in the entire world is providing the real-time, extensive coverage as I am.
It takes about $8,900 a month to keep this web site and radio show alive. I fund raise the final calendar week of each month. Today, for some reason, with only three days left to go, I am still $1297. short of funds for next month.
IF YOU APPRECIATE THIS CUTTING-EDGE NEWS COVERAGE, AND WANT IT TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE, ***PLEASE*** MAKE A DONATION USING THE WIDGET BELOW.
July-into-August Fund Raising ($1,297 Short)
As all of you are probably aware, during the final week of every calendar month, I reach out to you, my readers and listeners to my radio show, to ask for your support to keep this endeavor going another month. It's been this way since the year 2000 when the show began. With 3 Days remaining to raise the money, I am $1,297 short as of 5:26 PM EDT on Sunday
Your support helps pay for Radio Air Time, Web site Hosting and Data transfer, six inbound phone lines, music licensing fees, internet streaming costs, fiber optics in New Jersey and at the bugout location in Pennsylvania to carry the radio show onto the Internet. It also pays for cellular failover in NJ and PA in case the Fiber optics go down, and in PA, it also pays for a cable modem and two satellite uplinks, because out in that very rural area, it is common for trees to come down during storms, and take out not only power lines, but also communications.
All these capabilities make certain the show airs, five nights a week, no matter what is happening in the world.
Without your support, this endeavor simply dries up and goes away.
So if you enjoy the cutting-edge news, the Covert Intel, the real freedom of speech on this site and on the radio show, PLEASE use the widget below to make a donation so things can continue next month.
Thanks!

Just confirmed by my (friends) that it was Hochstein(Biden/Harris)
- Israeli reports say Lebanese officials now confirm that US envoy and NSC official Amos Hochstein passed information to Hezbollah, of Israeli strikes, in advance of those strikes, to Lebanon.
Israel is calling this a "Blood Betrayal by the United States."
Israel has now had to change their "Strike Package" which is why there has been no main attack yet.
