Hezbollah continues killing innocent farm animals as revenge for Israel taking out their top commanders

Hezbollah takes responsibility for the latest rocket barrages at the Jezreel Valley, claiming to have targeted the Ramat David Airbase again with dozens of rockets.

In all, some 30 rockets were launched from Lebanon at the area overnight, the majority of which were intercepted by air defenses, according to the IDF.

A barn in the Jezreel Valley was damaged and several cows were killed by one of Hezbollah's rockets early this morning.

More rockets now:

New sirens are sounding in the Jezreel Valley, Haifa bay area, and other areas in the Galilee.

MDA says it is treating three people who were lightly wounded as a result of rocket impacts in the Krayot and Lower Galilee.

Several others were treated for acute anxiety or falling over while running to shelters.

Footage shows one of the rocket impact sites in Kiryat Bialik.

Looks like it's war. It's foolish to say Netenyahu is not escalating the October war to Lebanon in a bid to remain in power.

At the same time though, Hezbollah has provided him with ample excuse to do so. They should never have co-signed the October 2023 attacks by Hamas, even if they did so reluctantly. They also should not have lobbed rockets into the villages of Northern Israel and the occupied Golan.

Alas, this entire war has been built on a mountain of bad decisions. On all sides. Which unfortunately leads to a single inescapable reality.

Israel is going to call Iran and Turkeys bluff. They are going to invade Lebanon.

Wiki has something interesting about him and this attack:

Before his death, Aqil served as the head of Hezbollah's operations[5] and was responsible for the Redwan Force,[2] among other things, during the Hezbollah–Israel conflict that began following Hezbollah's attacks on Israel the day after Hamas' October 7 attacks.[18] He also led Hezbollah's tunnel project in Lebanon.[5] He was reportedly injured during the 2024 Lebanon pager explosions and released from the hospital on the day of his assassination.[19] In the event of an Israeli invasion of Lebanon, Aqil's unit had planned to conduct a counter-operation, similar to the October 7 attacks, in northern Israel.[20] The unit would also be involved in defending southern Lebanon from an Israeli invasion.[21]

Weren't people speculating that the pager attacks might be used in some sort of way for targeting people after the fact? It seems like a pretty big coincidence that they got him in a moment of opportunity just now... after decades and decades. Not just wanted by Israel but the US too. The in-person meeting may have been part of the plan (because of the electronic fear) or just a bonus.

EDIT lol just had to post this comment.. sums everything up nicely:

The IDF visited the Ramallah branch of Al Jazeera to Shut It Down:

Update from Kiryat Bialik:

MDA says three people were wounded by shrapnel following a rocket impact in Kiryat Bialik, near Haifa.

The victims include a man in his 70s in moderate condition, and another man in his 70s and a 16-year-old girl who are lightly hurt.

They are being taken to Rambam Hospital in Haifa, MDA adds.

Interesting post from Abu Ali:

An Arab research institute admits: the basic assumptions according to which Israel cannot withstand a long-term war should be re-examined.
And there is also a particularly interesting angle on the part of the Israeli media...

I must say that personally I was very moved to read a commentary article by an Arab research institute, anti-Israel, in which Egyptian and Syrian researchers sit, who come to the conclusion that Israel's firm stand in the past year is not what they expected. They expected that Israel would not last, that the pressures from home and abroad will overwhelm her.

The article also deals with the dramatic effect created by the explosions of Hezbollah's radios and radios in Lebanon and the advantage they give to Israel, in the face of a sober statement that as time passes the advantage created by the explosions will erode from Israel's point of view and Hezbollah will be able to recover.

I translated the summary section of the article for you, read it verbatim, and after that I will add another word. Here it is:

"It seems that the ground war in Gaza, the ongoing fighting on the Lebanese front and the attitude of the Israeli government to the issue of the prisoners (kidnapped - AA), have changed some of the perceptions of the past (among Israel's enemies - AA) regarding Israel's ability to wage a long-term war. And also regarding the manner in which The Zionist entity grasps the issue of the prisoners (the abductees - AA), in a time of war and a situation of existential threat as created by the "Tofan al-Aqsa" system (the current war - AA). Some of the past conclusions on these issues require new research.

This campaign urges us to learn more about the "distraction and confusion tactic" used by the Israeli media, which has flooded the Arab and Western media recently with leaks about conflicts between Israeli officials on the subject of the war, at a time when Tel Aviv (Israel - AA) continues to march towards its political and military goals , when it practically implements what might be called "(dis)information war".

###

I am convinced beyond any doubt that many in the Middle East, led by members and members of the Axis of Resistance, were sure that Israel would not be able to sustain a full year of intense war on several fronts, especially when the issue of the many abductees eats into the resilience of Israeli society, in their understanding.
Israel's firm stand is the name of the game. Everyone plays on her. Everyone tries to wear it down and hence its importance. The importance of patience on the Israeli side. This is a huge and big thing that changes the Middle East's view of Israel and the ability to overwhelm it.

And also... the paragraph about the media in Israel is funny in my eyes. Arab researchers are convinced that the media in Israel is being mobilized to confuse the enemy, as part of a disinformation war. They fail to understand how the media in Israel presents such a bad picture of the situation of sharp conflicts between the captains of the country and yet Israel continues to move towards its goals. It doesn't make sense to them. There is such a great dissonance in their eyes on this issue that led them to the conclusion that this is a sophisticated exercise that the Israeli media is doing to help the war effort and confuse the enemy.
This play could not be written any better...

It's all connected. If the US needs another UNSC resolution because maintaining a buffer in Lebannon is too draining, the US won't be able to block a gaza ceasefire where hamas survives.

No. America needs some quality refugees and immigrants.

Problem is that a lot of second-generation Lebanese-American Christians seem to side with Hezbollah. Like the way Asians seem to put aside all their (sometimes justified) animosity towards each other in America. The reality of Hezbollah and their brutality and foreign influence and anti-Christian attitudes seems a lot more distant than the fact that they’re an influential Lebanese thing.

I’ve heard (from a non reliable source, an image board comment) that they were meeting to question the Hezbollah communications coordinator about the pagers. He never showed up, but the IDF mysteriously did and Hezbollah still hasn’t found him. I haven’t seen any evidence of this, but I sure hope it’s true because it’s hilarious.

I wish Lebanon's Christians would take their country back

I know nothing about war tactics so perhaps this is incredibly optimistic of me, but I wonder what it would be like if the IDF supported rebels on the inside, because I know Christian Lebanese fucking hate Hez and Muslims in general. Is that even “legal”? Or something that’s been tried before in history and failed spectacularly? Not much of a history buff either. Humor my autism, if you will

It happened before, look up the state of free Lebanon. It existed until the UN forced the IDF to abandon Lebanon in which many of the Christians were allowed to move to Israel. Those Lebanese Christians are waiting to return and retake their country.

One of the “Israeli” massacres that pro-Palestinians keep on bringing up to justify everything they do wasn’t actual committed by Israel (though the IDF definitely allowed it to happen and does bear major responsibility for it) but by a Lebanese Christian militia backed by Israel.

As per Kann News:
In Israel, they are investigating the possibility that Sinwar was killed in IDF strikes in the Gaza Strip. Currently, there is no positive intelligence to support such a news, and there is a dispute in the security establishment as to whether he has been cut off from communication again or indeed killed | First publication of

I wouldn't bet on Sinwar being killed, but OSINT and Israel news focused twitters are spreading this so might as well crosspost here

Airstrikes in southern Lebanon and the Beqaa now. You can see rockets being set off in a lot of the videos:

 

[Dawdler]

Israel is going to call Iran and Turkeys bluff. They are going to invade Lebanon.

I think it's gonna be a full scale invasion. If they are pulling troops from gaza, they will need everyone they can get. There are also massive recruitment attempts where families are bribed to turn their kids into idf meat.
This is probably unsustainable for israel. People who are on the front don't work in offices. It is the same as ukraine, foreign cash and military sources keep this ball rolling.
With such offensive, they can be pressed from any side and are buttnaked to attacks. Turkey however is not to be underestimated, they are on verge of economic collapse and a war may just revive them enough it would be worth proceeding with.

 

[Total Annihilation]

This is probably unsustainable for israel.

idk to be honest, it's gone on longer than I thought it would; with surprises such as the pager bombs.

Hezbollah supporters are seething at this interview given by the Israeli Minister of Education:

Anyone up for some Bible study? Ezekiel 28:20-24 is looking very relevant:

The word of the Lord came to me: “Son of man, set your face against Sidon; prophesy against her and say: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says:

“‘I am against you, Sidon,
and among you I will display my glory.
You will know that I am the Lord,
when I inflict punishment on you
and within you am proved to be holy.
I will send a plague upon you
and make blood flow in your streets.
The slain will fall within you,
with the sword against you on every side.
Then you will know that I am the Lord.'"

“‘No longer will the people of Israel have malicious neighbors who are painful briers and sharp thorns. Then they will know that I am the Sovereign Lord.'"

Update from the Air Force:

Since this morning, the Israeli Air Force has struck more than 150 Hezbollah targets in Lebanon, the IDF says.

According to the military, dozens of fighter jets from all of the IAF's squadrons participated in the strikes.

The strikes were launched after the IDF says it identified Hezbollah preparations to carry out major rocket attacks on Israel.

New wave of airstrikes (+ secondary explosions) in southern Lebanon and the Beqaa. Plan another October 7th, get turned into another Gaza:

Lebanese sources say that Israel has told UNIFIL forces to move north of the Litani river. The IDF says that it has struck more than 300 Hezbollah targets since this morning.

Hezbollah rocket impacts in the Galilee:

Alleged video (A) of residents leaving Southern Lebanon.

Alleged urgent message from the IDF broadcast on Lebanese radio: "The IDF is targeting Hezbollah military positions in your village and does not intend to harm civilians. If you are in or near a Hezbollah-used building, you must evacuate the village by at least one kilometer until further notice. Staying near Hezbollah operatives or facilities puts your life in danger."

Nasrallah boasted about forcing Israelis to abandon the north, and now his supporters are fleeing their homes in droves (including the Dahiyeh). Supposedly, Christian areas are charging through the (((nose))) for rent now - they don't want Shia terrorists anywhere near them.

Lebanon's health ministry says that the Israeli strikes today killed 100 and wounded 400.

Secondary explosions going off after a "civilian" house used to store rockets was hit:
