Israel conducted an unprecedented airstrike on Beirut’s southern Dahiya district on Friday evening in what Israeli media described as an attempt to assassinate Hezbollah’s Secretary General, Hasan Nasrallah.
The strike targeted and leveled six residential buildings. The Israeli army’s spokesperson, Daniel Hagari, released a video statement shortly after the strike claiming that the buildings contained Hezbollah’s “Central Headquarters.” Lebanese media reported that over 10 Israeli missiles were dropped in less than three minutes on the complex, situated in the Haret Hreik area in Dahiya. The Israeli army’s radio said that Israeli F-35 fighter jets dropped 2000-pound bunker-buster bombs on the residential buildings.
Lebanese first responders continue rescue efforts to pull out survivors from under the rubble. As of the time of writing, the number of civilians killed has not been specified.
The Israeli army’s radio quoted a military source saying that any person who was present in the targeted buildings “will not come out alive.” The Lebanese Health Minister, Firas al-Abyad, said that some of the buildings targeted were “full of civilian residents.”
I am so sick of this shit. Lebanon would be devastated in a war with the zionist entity but they are being anyways. Hezbollah should stop turning the other cheek. It's obvious Benny is not going to stop until he gets a war or destroys his enemies because he's going to prison once the crisis is over so he can only escalate. The US meanwhile is putting on a pathetic show chasing after him pretending to beg and plead for peace while having no intention of making them stop and being there to support them with weapons and money 100% of the way and the zionist entity knows it.
Hasan Nasrallah seems an intelligent, reasonable man from what I know of him. Restrained even. But what credibility does the axis of resistance have if they allow this to continue? It's not like the US is going to force "israel" to stop. It's not like they are going to stop on their own. They could just keep on pushing the goalposts until they actually succeed in decapitating and destroying most of the resistance outside of Iran with these attacks (all while the US sobs for calm and promises they're on the right track to peace after a year of this genocide and aggression) or at least put them on such an awful foot that they can't stand up very long in a war.
I increasingly believe it's a question of whether they sit there and let themselves be destroyed to be seen as noble and peaceful victims who liberals can have a high opinion of and hope that somehow translates to a movement to actually isolate and destroy the zionist colony in the long-term (with hopes something happens in the medium-term that means the zionists eventually get tired of bombing after weakening their enemies badly and decide not to do any annexing today) OR to finally realize this isn't going to be resolved peacefully except through their deaths or total submission to the zionist entity and they stand up and strike back hard. Which yes will probably draw the US in but could also (who knows) actually force the US hand and cause them to force the entity to stop and make peace.
I just don't see a way out that doesn't end with the genocide of Palestinians being completed plus most of the axis of resistance being devastated to the point of needing years to recover their operational abilities and all the while being under threat of infiltration and spying and more bombs put in electronics.
This is awful. I feel awful. I wish Russia would give Yemen some long-range weapons. I wish they'd give Lebanon some strong anti-air systems to take down the isn'treali air force which is the only thing allowing them to be terrorists with impunity. Shoot down the planes and they can't do anything but use ground forces which will lose badly. That's the real balance of power here and the real problem is those planes. Someone needs to give the axis of resistance the ability to down them en mass.
Exactly. A colony will exterminate the indigenous people because that's what a colony does. It does genocide and expands. It knows nothing else. Hezb needs to realize there is no avoiding war. Only thing that will work is to start hitting TA in kind. Fuck settlers. Settlers aren't civilians. Fuck them. Start raining ballistic missiles on the rape fan club called Israel.
