Israel reportedly targeted the likely successor to Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed last week in an Israeli airstrike, on Thursday in an airstrike in Beirut, Lebanon. The operation targeted Nasrallah’s cousin, Hashim Safieddine, in one of the terror group’s deepest bunkers that was described as a “far larger” attack than the one that killed Nasrallah. Joe Truzman, senior research analyst at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies (FDD), said that it was “embarrassing” for Iran and Hezbollah that they have not been able to figure out how Israel is locating and targeting Hezbollah’s commanders with ease on the battlefield and eliminating them at will. “Hezbollah media relations has not made any statements on the reported targeting of Hashem Saffedine by the Israeli military in Beirut’s Dahieh,” he added. “The longer they take to say something, the likelihood he was at the site increases.” WATCH: Reported site in Beirut that was struck by the Israeli military.

Iranian oil tankers are reportedly fleeing from the island where nearly all of Iran’s oil exports pass through amid fears that it will become a target for Israel as the country seeks to make the Islamic regime pay for its missile attack earlier this week. TankerTrackers, an independent service that tracks and reports shipments of crude oil, said that the National Iranian Tanker Company (NITC) appeared to be fearing an imminent attack. “Their empty VLCC supertankers vacated the country’s largest oil terminal, Kharg Island, yesterday,” the organization said. “Please note that crude oil loadings continue, but all of the extra vacant shipping capacity has been removed from the anchorage of Kharg Island.” The overwhelming majority of Iran’s oil exports are sent through terminals at Kharg Island, often referred to as “oil island.” Targeting the island would have “the most disruptive effect, with some 90% of Iran’s global exports passing through those terminals,” said Gerard Filitti, senior counsel at the Lawfare Project.

They said that this is the first time they’ve seen action like this since 2018 when former President Donald Trump crippled the economy of the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism with devastating sanctions.

(@TankerTrackers) October 3, 2024 Iran’s terrorist proxy groups have released threats this week, apparently aimed at the Gulf States, amid speculation that Iran’s oil facilities will soon be hit. “Either everyone enjoys [the oil] or everyone is deprived,” said Iraq’s Kata’ib Hezbollah. The Arab Gulf States have tried to assure Iran this week that they want to remain neutral in the conflict between Iran and Israel, hoping that staying out of it will save them from Iranian-backed terror attacks should Israel wipe out Iran’s oil facilities.

One event takes center stage yearly at the Toledo Zoo in Toledo, Ohio. It is the only time that hunting is permitted on the property, but the hunters do not carry weapons. It’s the annual Native Turtle Roundup, which allows the herpetologists to give each turtle a checkup. @thetoledozoo It’s time for the 2024 Native Turtle Roundup! Thanks to our Herp Keepers, Vet staff, volunteers, and visitors for helping our shelly friends receive their annual health exams. See how many turtles you can spot in the Native Turtles of Ohio exhibit. Plan your visit at the link in bio. #toledoohio #toledozoo #turtles #iliketurtles #nativeturtles #funny ♬ original sound – The Toledo Zoo – The Toledo Zoo Volunteers and zoo staff come together to scour the turtle enclosure to find every turtle. The enclosure is home to aquatic and land turtles native to the area. Personnel must check every inch, dig through dry leaf piles, and reach into the pond. When they find a turtle, they place it in a bin to await a checkup. Image from TikTok. Staff uses the annual roundup, which takes several days, to deep clean the enclosure and change out the pond water. The pond also houses fish, which leads to one of the day’s highlights: watching the herpetologist fetch turtles jump whenever something touches him under the water. Image from TikTok. The reptile and amphibian specialists will examine each turtle in the enclosure. Turtles can be pretty good at hide-and-seek, so turtle checkup time is always fun. Image from TikTok. Volunteers must find the teeny-tiny baby turtles who will receive their first checkup. These can range from one inch (newly hatched) to three inches (one and two-year-old) measured across the bottom of the shell. Image from TikTok. The annual turtle round-up accomplishes many tasks. Herpetologists check each turtle, the enclosure is thoroughly cleaned and refreshed, and volunteers and staff have fun hunting for these elusive animals. The turtle checkup also allows them to count the turtles — this year, there are 64! You can follow the Toledo Zoo on TikTok.
