This time Israel is on an observer standard. It is impossible not to mention that soldiers from Tunisia, Ghana and Senegal also participated in the exercise.

The two incidents in the past 24 hours - the attack near Tartus in Syria and the interception of Hezbollah's UAVs - are a significant test for Hezbollah's patience.
Why?
A. The weapons shipment that was attacked in Tartus was apparently destined to reach Hezbollah.
B. From the IDF spokesman’s report, it can be concluded that the drones interception was not carried out in Israeli airspace but in the Lebanese one.

The US Naval institute website has posted satellite images showing Iran starting to build what appears to be a new stealth missile ship.
The ship, which may have the ability to carry missiles, differs in its stealth capabilities compared to other types that Iran has.

Iran has recently been making a secret effort to smuggle air defense systems and means into Syria. The Iranians, desperate for the Syrian air defense to succeed in disrupting the Israeli air force's repeated attacks on weapons smuggling, want to achieve independent capability in the field, and to act independently of others.
Al-Arabiya network revealed over the weekend that the secret project is being led by Farid Muhammad Sakai, a senior Revolutionary Guards officer who has recently been spotted coming to Damascus several times. Sakai was scheduled for his visits with members of the Syrian air defense, and apparently works in full coordination with them. Iran itself smuggles air defense equipment on the same air and land routes it uses to smuggle weapons into Syria.
Yesterday's attack appears to have been aimed at such components that had already been smuggled into Syria, with the aim of launching them in the future against the Air Force in the coastal sector. It can be assumed from the attack that Israel is determined not to allow this, and to maintain full air superiority in the sector. The revelation of Sakai’s name should also make it clear to him that he and his actions are transparent, and force him to save his life, for fear of being harmed.

The target of the July 2 airstrike (before the UAV incident), in northwestern Syria near the town of al-Hamadia, south of Tartus, was apparently to destroy advanced conventional weapons. The weapons were stored in a place ready to be transferred to Lebanon’s Hezbollah.
The weapon transfer path (painted blue) can be seen in the attached visual:

A month after Argentine authorities confiscated a Venezuelan plane over possible ties to the Iranian Revolutionary Guards and began legal proceedings against crew members who flew it, more details are revealed
Paraguayan president Mario Abdo Benitez said on Friday that "a large number of the Venezuelan-Iranian crew members of the confiscated plane have links to international terrorism." He also added that one of the crew members of the Boeing 747 "underwent plastic surgery to change his face in Cuba", and said that this discovery was "as if taken from a movie".
In early June, after the plane was denied entry to Uruguay, the crew was forced to return to Asiza International Airport in Buenos Aires, where it has since been delayed by the authorities along with the entire crew of the plane.
Opposition Argentine Congressman Gerardo Milman later told Israel Today that the flight, whose exact purpose has not yet been determined, was part of a "joint intelligence operation by SEBIN (Venezuela's intelligence service) and Iranian intelligence," he said.
19 Iranian and Venezuelan staff members are detained in Argentina without the possibility of leaving the country, their passports have been confiscated and the investigation around them continues. In recent days law enforcement in Buenos Aires has ordered an extension of the stage of gathering evidence and proof, in a move that includes examining the plane's black box (which was confiscated until the end of proceedings) as well as detailing a request from countries where the aircraft has passed in recent weeks.
The Argentine authorities confiscated the plane after receiving intelligence from a foreign source about the plane's problematic background, and according to the investigation, it turns out to be an Iranian plane that was leased to the Venezuelan airline in order to overcome American sanctions. It also turned out that the Iranian pilot is a key figure in the arms shipments that Iran carries out in Africa and the Middle East as part of Revolutionary Guards activities, including in Syria, and at least a number of other crew members were also associated with the Revolutionary Guards.
It is actually a plane of the Iranian airline Mahan Air but it has been used by the Venezuelan transport company since February this year, and has already transported dozens of tons of cargo across Latin America. The plane was confiscated following information received about ties by five Iranian crew members with Quds Force of the Revolutionary Guards.
The investigation reveals that the pilot, Golmarza Carnal, is a former general in the Revolutionary Guards Air Force and Space, and was directly involved in Mahan Air's cargo flights to Syria through its cargo arm, Fars Air Qeshm. The plane itself was used for domestic flights in Iran, but last year as mentioned moved to Venezuela and repainted it. Since then both Iranians and Venezuelans have been using it around the world.
