Hezbollah Escalating?
In speaking with Judge Nap today, Doug Macgregor made an important statement. He said that he had seen reports yesterday that said that Hezbollah is already “operating” inside northern Israel. What does “operating” mean? Recon, sabotage, pre-positioning, ambushes? Some or all of the above? Judge Nap didn’t bother asking.
Nevertheless, the past week has seen an uptick in Hezbollah activity, utilizing more of their arsenal. There are reports that, due to Hezbollah air defense activity, Israel has curtailed its regular “sonic boom” overflights of southern Lebanon.
Today, Hezbollah shot down its fifth Israeli drone—the most advanced drone that Israel operates, the Hermes 900.
Hezbollah announces downing an Israeli Hermes 900. This is the 5th drone shot down since October: 2 Hermes 450 and 3 Hermes 900, with estimated Israeli losses of over $20 million, also value of Israeli drones probably plummeted. Details on the Hermes 900
Of course, numerous rocket and missile attacks continue against targets in northern Israel, but the most important development is undoubtedly that a Turkish owned vessel has been struck in the major Port of Haifa.

It loaded in Russian Novorossiysk Port on June 1st, and here is its current location in Haifa port.
I read that it is Hezbollah who lit the Turkish Cargo Vessel in Haifa. Any confirmation?
In the past I’ve read about one or another of the Iraqi militias targeting the Port of Haifa, and the Houthis have claimed to target ships in the Mediterranean. This strike, however, seems to be the most successful to date and could have a real impact on shipping coming to Israel’s two Mediterranean ports (the Port of Ashdod is the other). The Port of Eilat—leading to the Red Sea—has already been basically shut down. Hezbollah appears to be extremely competent. If this strike on Haifa was accomplished by Hezbollah that’s a strong message, because I’m guessing that the Port of Haifa has a pretty dense layer of air defense around it. This, like the Iranian strikes on Israeli military bases, is certainly repeatable.
Lastly, an Ike update, and it could be significant. Note how much further north the Ike has moved—a long way from Yemen , much closer to Israel.

Oh, almost forgot. Megatron provides a summary of Ansar Allah’s much wordier notice:

BREAKING:
Yemen:
"We uncovered a large American-Israeli spy network operating in various institutions since 2015"
The Ansar Allah version states that the network was set up by US personnel working out of the American embassy, before it was closed.
The network collected important information on various fields and provided it to hostile intelligence agencies.
Probably KSA and UAE.
The network was able to influence decision-makers, penetrate state agencies, and work to attract officials.
The network worked to influence, control, and strike the economy by collecting information and carrying out acts of sabotage.
The network worked to harm agriculture by increasing agricultural pests in the country with the aim of encouraging agricultural imports.
The spy network sought to harm health in the country by spreading epidemics, harming education and spreading moral corruption.
The network provided American and Israeli intelligence with military information with the aim of weakening the army and its capabilities.
The American-Israeli spy network conducted intelligence activities targeting the military and manufacturing capabilities of our armed forces.

I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that the Houthis received counterintelligence assistance from Iran.
We're still waiting to see if Netanyahu is going to carry out his threats to take on Hezbollah. Maybe the Ike is moving with range to give "moral" support to an attack.
Re Yemen: Spreading agricultural pests and epidemics? Those are bioweapons. US also has/ had 12 bioweapons labs in Ukraine, IIRC. Plus the gain of function lab for Covid19 in Wuhan. WTF?
