โ ๐ฎ๐ฑ/๐ฑ๐ง NEW: Israeli media reports that the Netanyahu family is seeking increased security measures after a Hezbollah drone targeted their residence in Caesarea.
They have requested enhanced protection from the Shin Bet security service, activation of GPS jamming systems, and a strengthened interception system with 24/7 air coverage against potential aerial threats.
Additionally, they want a secure alternative residence until 'renovations' in Caesarea are completed.

โก๏ธ ๐ธ๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ฌ๐ฆ๐ช๐ท๐บ Local documentation and media channels show that the plane that the RSF shot down was registered in Kyrgyzstan and operated by the UAE, as is documented in the two pics - it was an Il-76.
Two of the flight crew have been identified as Russian contractors for the company.
The plane was supplying the RSF, and they shot their own supply transport.

โก๏ธ๐ธ๐ฉThe RSF shot down an airplane, probably an Il-76, which was bringing them aid from the UAE.
Initially, the RSF claimed the Antonov, which apparently was used as a bomber by the Sudanese Air Force. And some said it was an Egyptian Antonov.
While yes, the Sudanese Air Force has a history of using Antonovs as bombers as a last resort, nothing other than the RSF's statements confirms that this is the case. On the contrary, some of the remains of the aircraft shown in these videos resemble an Il-76.
In addition, they showed a document addressed to Viktor Granov (it's a common practice when Russians work with Russian airplanes abroad), Main engineer of the Airline Transport Incorporation FZC. This company is based in UAE.
Keep in mind that this videos are many hours old. The RSF is currently very quiet on this issue. The airplane wreckage is located on their territory, which slows down any investigation.

๐ฑ๐ง/๐ฎ๐ฑ Al-Ouzai (Al-Sayyฤdeen port/Fishermen's port on the coast of Beirut) was bombarded around 20 minutes ago. This came after the IOF threatened to strike it.
After this strike, Middle East Airlines (MEA) runway changed due to main runway being close to Al-Ouzai strike site.
