ACADEMY SITREP – IRAN LAUNCHES BALLISTIC MISSILE ATTACK AGAINST ISRAEL October 1, 2024 | https://lnkd.in/g9gEFgMy What has Happened: -After the U.S. picked up indications that Iran was preparing to fire ballistic missiles at Israel this morning, Iran moved forward with the attack this afternoon by launching over a hundred ballistic missiles at targets in Israel (though initially there were no known reports of major injuries or fatalities). -This action from Iran comes on the heels of Israel commencing a “limited” ground operation into southern Lebanon and the killing of Hezbollah leader Nasrallah, and a senior IRGC General, Abbas Nilforoushan, last Friday in Beirut. -While there were concerns regarding the potential for a second Iranian attack following the killing of the Hamas political leader, Ismail Haniyeh, in Tehran on July 31st, Iran initially hesitated likely because of the risk of escalation with Israel and the U.S. -However, more pressure had been put on Iran by its network of proxies to get more involved and to strike Israel directly, especially following the killing of Nasrallah and the launching of the Israeli ground operation into Lebanon. -In April of this year, Iran fired over 300 missiles/drones at Israel, but 99% of these munitions were intercepted by Israel and its partner nations, led by the U.S. -In both instances the U.S. utilized multiple assets in the region capable of intercepting ballistic missiles including guided missile destroyers, in addition to the Israeli Arrow missile defense system and support from Jordan. -The U.S. has warned of ”severe consequences” for Iran, and Israel will respond to this attack, further escalating the situation and raising the risk of a broader regional war.

ACADEMY SITREP – ISRAEL BEGINS GROUND OPERATIONS IN SOUTHERN LEBANON September 30, 2024 | https://lnkd.in/ezaanhqu What has Happened: -Israel has commenced “limited” ground operations targeting Hezbollah military infrastructure close to the Israel-Lebanon border. -According to the IDF, the initial targets were “located in villages close to the border and posed an immediate threat to Israeli communities in northern Israel.” -Over the weekend, it was reported that Israel had launched raids led by special operations forces into southern Lebanon to gather intelligence and probe Hezbollah capabilities. -Israeli officials had also suspected that Hezbollah’s Radwan Forces were making preparations for an attack and have been positioning weapons and supplies near the border. -Israel has been on the offensive over the past two weeks against Hezbollah in Lebanon and operations accelerated following the strike that killed Nasrallah, the terror group’s leader, last Friday. -As a deterrent to Iran, the U.S. announced that the USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group would remain near the Red Sea, while the USS Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group is heading for the Mediterranean Sea. -At this time, Israeli officials have stated that there will be “no long-term occupation of southern Lebanon,” however no timeline was provided. -Israel’s mission here is clear, as it recently added the safe return of residents to the north of the country as an official goal of the war in Gaza.

ACADEMY SITREP – ISRAEL KILLS HEZBOLLAH LEADER NASRALLAH IN STRIKE NEAR BEIRUT September 28, 2024 | https://lnkd.in/eyJ6q6Mm What has Happened: -Yesterday, Israel targeted Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in a massive airstrike south of Beirut. -Israeli forces destroyed several residential buildings, which is reportedly where Hezbollah’s underground central headquarters was located. -The attack followed two weeks of complex intelligence operations, targeted killings of other Hezbollah leaders, and heavy aerial bombardments of southern Lebanon designed to stop Hezbollah from attacking across the border into northern Israel. -Nasrallah’s death will have a significant impact not only on Hezbollah, but also on Iran, and the proxy network that Tehran has built across the region. -Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, convened the Supreme National Council to an emergency meeting at his home after the strike. -The strike also killed Muhammad Ali Ismail, the commander of Hezbollah’s missile unit in southern Lebanon, as well as his deputy, and other commanders/operatives that were present at the meeting. -PM Netanyahu left the U.S. and headed back to Israel yesterday following the strike and told the UN at his address that Israel’s campaign against Hezbollah would continue, reducing the chances of an internationally backed ceasefire taking hold in the near-term. -The hope is that all of these operations will convince Hezbollah to pull back from southern Lebanon, but the concern is that this latest strike significantly escalated the situation, elevating the risk of a broader conflict.
