@enzoquenes The lack of alignment to a static image is a common georeferencing issue, so each map will have differences. I think the actual expansions are north of Naqoura, north of Bint Jbeil, and into Ali al Taher Ridge. The Khiam contraction appears to be a georef issue too.
Geolocated this video showing Lebanese Army vehicles advancing inside the IDF declared "security zone" at 33.352476, 35.504201. They are moving from the yellow pin towards the center of the town of Kfar Tebnit in South Lebanon.
VIDEO | Arrival of the Lebanese Army in the southern Lebanese village of Kfar Tebnit after recent Israeli attacks, including the targeting of Press TV correspondent Hadi Hoteit, which resulted in his injury.
MORE: Iran is using the first clause of the MoU, which calls for a ceasefire on all fronts, to try to compel the United States to pressure Israel to cease operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon and withdraw its forces from Lebanese territory. Iran’s interpretation of this clause is part of its broader effort to preserve Hezbollah as a central element of Iran’s deterrence strategy against Israel.
Iran Update Special Report, June 21, 2026 Iran is attempting to use the sequencing of the US-Iran memorandum of understanding’s (MoU) clauses to make the United States meet Iranian demands regarding Lebanon and economic relief before Iran agrees to discuss nuclear issues. Other

Full differential ID between white phosphorus and HC smoke can be found in this ARES piece by Trevor Ball and N.R. Jenzen-Jones: armamentresearch.com/differentiatin…
A very common misidentification of white phosphorus is HC smoke, specifically the M150. a WP round (M825 series) scatters 116 felt wedges into the dense, snake like plume. An HC round ejects just 4 or 5 canisters that fall burning. Here I count five, exactly the M150's payload.

The IDF's newly released "Security Zone" in South Lebanon shows significant expansion since April 19, 2026. The zone now includes 8 additional villages: Mazraat Byout El Saiyad, Majdal Zoun, Haddatha, Beit Yahoun, Zawtar El Charqiyeh, Arnoun, Yohmor, and Kfar Tebnit.

As requested, full nerd squad meet up with @wammezz, @Gabor_Friesen, @weatherwar, @trbrtc, @ChrisOsieck - but whomst will locate us??
@StintsXi I can't confirm that with the material we currently have, but most of the rockets came down in open fields on the edge of Ain Ebel, as seen in the attached image, and I didn't see any incoming alert trigger on the Israeli side of the border.
Geolocation of a building in Ain Ebel, south Lebanon, struck by a rocket fired by Hezbollah. At least two buildings in the town were damaged and a woman was wounded, while the rest of the salvo appears to have come down in open fields nearby. Coordinates: 33.099298, 35.386081
Ain Ebel Mayor Ayoub Khreich to MFM: We woke up today to a rocket launcher falling between residential houses, the situation is not good at all, and we have an injured person and no hospital, so we are transporting them by car
Israel continues its use of #whitephosphoros in #Lebanon, despite the serious risk of civilians exposure and wider concerns over impacts on the environment and livelihoods. We spoke with @sanjanamv of the @nytimes, joined by @weatherwar and others nytimes.com/2026/06/06/wor…
@WarMonitor3 This isn’t true according to Al Hadath:
🔴 قيادة العمليات المشتركة تنفي لـ "الحدث" الأنباء عن سقوط طائرة مدنية في الأجواء العراقية للمزيد تابعونا على يوتيوب👈 hdth.tv/2ythh تفاصيل أكثر على الحدث نت👈 alhadath.net
Geolocation of an Israeli airstrike that hit the lower two floors of a building in Dahieh, the southern suburbs of Beirut (33.832299, 35.511228). The first strike on Dahieh in weeks, it comes after repeated Hezbollah rocket fire at northern Israel. @GeoConfirmed
🚨 عاجل #بيروت ⚡️ ‼️ إسرائيل تقصف مبنى في الضاحية الجنوبية لبيروت.
Sanjana's piece also features @wammezz on what outlasts the smoke: contaminated soil, scorched farmland, land people still can't safely return to. The full database is available at whitephosphorus.info.
White phosphorus is still falling on south Lebanon. A new @nytimes investigation by @sanjanamv, with verified footage as recent as May 30. It references the research database of 200+ strikes I've been building since Oct 2023. nytimes.com/2026/06/06/wor…
