Exploding Pagers!! Did Israel just blow the dicks off Hezbollah fighters?

IMHO I think Israel has been shackled by US policies for far too long. They have suffered for it.

I believe this new active aggression against Israel to be the consequence of US policy under Biden Harris. But VP Harris is too busy campaigning, and Biden is essentially asleep on the beach. Leaving the nation of Israel free to respond appropriately to it's sworn enemies. It is a bold gamble for Israel. Hopefully the consequences will be a military victory as they have done in the past which could lead, at the very least, to a decade of relative peace in the region.

IDF Says 180 Targets Eliminated In Southern Lebanon; US Lauds 'Good Outcome' Of Beirut Strike

Since Thursday and the deadly chaos of the two-day pager explosion attack, southern Lebanon has seen the most intense exchange of fire between Hezbollah and Israel since the conflict began after Oct.7.
On Saturday the expanded pace of fire has continued, with Hezbollah havinglaunched at least 90 rockets on northern Israel, and the IDF saying it has mounted at least 80 raids on weapons installations belonging to Hezbollah.
The Israeli army described that it "dismantled approximately 180 targets and thousands of launcher barrels" in southern Lebanon over several hours of Saturday.
But it also confirmed that "approximately 90 projectile launches were identified crossing from Lebanon into Israeli territory." The IDF added: "The [Israeli military] will continue operating to dismantle and degrade Hezbollah’s capabilities and terror infrastructure."
There are currently many warnings from both sides of the border that this marks a slide into all-out war, which both have avoided thus far, with the past year witnessing 'limited' and often short-lived attacks and rocket volleys. . .
 
Meanwhile, the funeral for a top terror leader and mastermind of an attack on American's occurred.
Israel is targeting high level terrorists.
Hezbollah is killing cows.






From the Wall Street Journal.
Simple message to Hezbollah.
Stop aggression, move back out of Southern Lebanon, or Israel will kill you.
Seems clear to me.
Hezbollah is choosing death.



Israel’s Ultimatum to Hezbollah: Back Off or Go to War

Strategy shift includes escalating attacks aimed at forcing the militant group from the Lebanon-Israel border

Sept. 22, 2024 at 12:02 am
Hezbollah supporters at the funeral of militants killed in Friday’s strike by Israel in Beirut.
TEL AVIV—With escalating attacks on Hezbollah’s rank and file, commanders and infrastructure, Israel is pressing its military and intelligence advantage to give the Lebanese group an implied ultimatum: make a deal to pull back from Israel’s northern border, or go to war.
Israel is rotating its attention to its border with Lebanon as the Gaza Strip battlefield becomes static, launching an aggressive series of attacks that have devastated Hezbollah, a U.S.-designated terrorist organization. This past week’s pager and walkie-talkie attacks revealed that Israel has deeply compromised Hezbollah’s communication systems, while an airstrike on Beirut that killed much of the leadershipof Hezbollah’s elite Radwan force showed how Israel’s intelligence capabilities continue to expose the group’s top operatives.
 
When Hezbollah learned their cellphones were compromised, they bought 5,000 pagers and instructed their people to use them; when the pagers simultaneously exploded, they instructed their people to use walkie-talkies; and when those exploded, they had to meet in person where they were eliminated in a precision bombing.

Been a bitch of a week for them has it not? :thumbup:

Been a bitch of a week for them has it not? :thumbup:
And now come the big hurt.

Looks like Israel is coming in with some major bombing to 'soften' the area of southern Lebanon and remove as many Hezbollah terrorists/assholes as possible. As I understand it, Israel is planning to eliminate the Hezbollah presence in southern Lebanon, as per some UNITED NATIONS agreement where Lebanon is supposed to not allow Hezbollah to operate south of some river that was designated. I can't recall the name of that river, but if I gather correctly, Israel is going to occupy that land in Lebanon, but allow it to remain Lebanese, while ridding Hezbollah's rockets from the area.









 
Israel has announced that over 300 Lebanese 'homes' were destroyed by Monday morning, 6am (Eastern Standard Time) and those homes contained stockpiles of missiles, rocket launchers or other munitions. All were located in the southern portion of Lebanon.

It appears that a full air offensive has begun by Israel.

Lebanese Telecom is saying that over 80,000 calls were placed to residents of southern Lebanon, by Israel, telling them to get out of any home or building that contained Hezbollah munitions. The citizens of Lebanon were told to evacuate and stay away from any location containing war infrastructure or controlled by Hezbollah militants.
 
Hmmm. . . what is that sound coming from that "innocent" apartment building?

Could those be the sounds of terrorist Hezbollah rockets being consumed by fire?

Notice the precision of the Israeli strike? The neighboring buildings were virtually unharmed (certainly glass was blown out) by targeted strike on the location that Hezbollah chose to hide their stockpile. It appears that the Hezbollah rockets (at least 50, probably more) eventually took out the neighboring building.




The video ABOVE ^^^ was posted several hours ago.

The video below was posted on X less than 1 minute ago and the Israeli actions continue into the night.

Different location, but you can hear the rockets firing inside the flames. Another direct hit by the Israeli forces on the terrorist weapons nest.




Hezbollah has many friends inside Lebanon. And the Lebanese government is very tolerant of, and infiltrated by Hezbollah. But do not forget that the nation used to be a Christian nation. Maronite Christians, which are a form of middle east Catholics, used to be over 60% of Lebanon. Christians still make up roughly 30% of the population of Lebanon. They have little use for terrorists that have destroyed their formerly beautiful and formerly modern nation's wealth and culture.
 




Israel reports 1500 munitions were fired at 1300 targets.

Lebanon is reporting over 1200 have been killed but does not suggest how many are civilians and how many are Hezbollah members. I would suspect they, at this point, have no clue.




Lebanese sources have confirmed the top commander of the Hezbollah's southern region now exists only as vapor and splattered bits of human remains. While Hezbollah denied it in the report below, that has been updated. Multiple sources confirm. His reign of terror ended today. So Hezbollah says he is alive. Lebanese sources say he is dead. I suppose we don't know, but let's hope for his safe arrival to his 72 virgins goats of martyrdom.





Meanwhile, Hezbollah blows up its own people in a Lebanese building.

Israel killed the top commander of the Hezbollah missile and rocket program.

Their precision is astounding. I presume the US and most of NATO has this same technology and accuracy, but we lack the will and the resolve to eliminate threats to our nation or the greater western civilized world.





Oh, and a 'so-called' Lebanese "journalist" who poses as a mouthpiece for terrorism and Hezbollah was injured, live, on camera . . . while he is speaking arabic or Lebanese, I'm pretty sure he drops the F*bomb in English at the end of the video while he is being blown across the room.

Some words are apparently universally understood :4_11_9:

FWIW, this is posted by a Lebanese woman. She is anti-Hezbollah. I'm not sure if she is one of the Maronite Christians or if she is a muslim who opposed Hezbollah.

Over the last week she has been posting all about the U.N. resolution, about the failures of the Lebanese government to impose it, which it is legally bound to do. More proof that Lebanon, especially the south, has been over run by terrorists and the government has been sufficiently infiltrated by Hezbollah.




Meanwhile, HAMAS, which operates in Gaza along the southwest of Israel, released information that one of its chief operatives was cleansed from the earth while hiding in the north, in Lebanon!

 
Boom & KaBoom. A Hezbollah 2-fer :applause:




And the Christian minority has set up blockades to protect their neighborhoods from Hezbollah "refugees" trying to come into their areas. The Lebanese Army is now deployed to prevent violence between the Maronite Christians and the terrorists and others who are trying to seek refuge in the safe areas.





And the Hezbollah propagandists are now targets. They are false media.





Is there a 'last chance' for peace?

Based on the actions of Hezbollah, it does not seem like there is a chance for peace.
Hezbollah, despite their vastly diminished leadership seem intent on taking on the ground forces of Israel. Probably a fatal flaw in the thinking of Hezbollah. One theory is that Iran is throwing Hezbollah under the bus, sacrificing them for the "greater good" in some way that I cannot comprehend. Basically Iran may be telling Hezbollah to take the hit, no matter the cost. I suppose if Iran enters the fray, then Israel will attack the Iranian Nuclear facilities, power grids, infrastructure. But if Iran can convince Hezbollah to "take the hit" then Iran is spared, at least temporarily?

Last chance to avert war in Lebanon

As detailed by Lazar Berman in an article in The Times of Israel, "With massive airstrikes on Hezbollah’s missiles, Netanyahu is still trying to get the terror group to hold its fire after 11 months. If it doesn’t, war [i.e. a ground invasion] seems the only option."

Right after Hamas perpetrated one of the most savage pogroms in history on Oct. 7 of last year, Iran's puppet, terrorist group Hezbollah, began an unprovoked bombing campaign against Israel, to which Jerusalem avoided a forceful response, until today.
Despite being forced to evacuate tens of thousands of Israelis from the north of the country indefinitely due to these attacks, Netanyahu's government has generally attempted to limit its response to localized, moderate attacks in southern Lebanon.
This policy, motivated both by the need to focus on operations against Hamas and to meet Washington's containment demands, has earned Netanyahu rebuke from a multitude of Israelis. And they are not without reason; the prime minister's critics on this issue consider it unacceptable to get used to the displacement of a significant part of the population due to the sustained terrorist action of a hostile militia.

Israel's success in disrupting Hezbollah's communications system

In an operation thoroughly prepared for years, Jerusalem succeeded last week in disrupting Hezbollah's communications system by exploding their pagers. The group had believed it was protecting itself from Israel spying on their phones by downgrading to this technology. Thousands of militia members important enough to have received one of these devices were injured in the blasts, including the Iranian ambassador. Several dozen were killed in the explosions, which were repeated a day later with walkie talkies used by the terrorists.
Without ruling out some collateral damage, it is hard to imagine a cleaner way to eliminate a significant number of terrorists whose identity was effectively confirmed by their own bosses when they were deemed worthy of receiving one of these devices. And despite this, as we are accustomed to seeing, many in the international community, including the secretary general of the United Nations and the government of Spain, once again condemned the Israeli operation as an excessive and criminal act.

Prepare for a ground assault into Lebanon . . .



Israel's army chief tells troops to prepare for possible Lebanon ground invasion

Israel’s army chief told troops Wednesday to be prepared for a possible ground invasion of Lebanon even as Israeli fighter jets bombarded Hezbollah militant targets for a third straight day.

"You can hear the planes here; we are attacking all day, both to prepare the ground for the possibility of your entry, but also to continue striking Hezbollah," Lieutenant General Herzi Halevi told a tank brigade, according to a statement issued by the military.

"We are not stopping. We will keep attacking and harming them everywhere," Halevi said. "To do this, we are preparing for the course of the maneuver, and the sense is that your military boots, your maneuver boots, will enter enemy territory."

The army chief spoke to his troops just hours after Hezbollah launched a ballistic missile targeting the headquarters of Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency near Tel Aviv. Israel shot down the missile, but Halevi warned, “Today, Hezbollah expanded its range of fire, and later today, they will receive a very strong response. Prepare yourselves."
Israel also said it has activated reserve troops in response to the fight against the Iran-backed Hezbollah militants. Lebanese health officials said Israeli strikes had killed another 50 people on Wednesday, bringing the death toll over three days to 615, with more than 2,000 wounded. . . .

Wonder what it is like after the Israeli army targets you terror nests?





Just to be clear, I oppose Hamas/Hezbollah and the other terrorist Palestinians. So the video above inspires AWE in the capabilities of the Israeli Defense Forces.


Christians have a long history of being persecuted by Palestinians.
Jews have a long history of being persecuted by Palestinians.
The Arab nations don't want Palestinian refugees.
Perhaps this video will open a few more eyes?




Citizen checkpoints in Christian neighborhoods throwing out the Hezbollah scum.

While the last couple of days the IDF has been focusing on destruction of weapons stockpiles, it doesn't mean that they forgot about the top commanders in their BoomShakaLaka fest.





And weapons stockpiles too...





So while the I.D.F. is blowing up terrorists. The terrorists are actually starting brush fires because they apparently can't aim. But when they do aim, they often aim at civilian targets.





And behind the scenes, Iran is admitting that Israel infiltrated them a month ago and took some secrets.

 
Houthi rebels in Yemen are launching cruise missiles and attacking Tel Aviv. At this point the Arrow missile defense system has intercepted the high altitude cruise missiles. Hopefully none get thru, Tel Aviv is a densely populated civilian city, not a military target.

I suspect tomorrow will bring some sort of infrastructure strike against Yemen by the IDF

Massive Israeli Airstrikes In Beirut Target Central Hezbollah HQ, Nasrallah

Just less than thirty minutes after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu finished his remarks to the UN General Assembly, the Israeli military (IDF) announced major new airstrikes across southern Lebanon, which has included the most intense attacks to date on Beirut's southern suburbs.
Eyewitness say that shortly before 7pm local time, massive explosions rocked Beirut, shaking windows and with blasts felt for miles. Fox News' chief foreign correspondent is reporting that "Fox News has learned the target of the strike on Beirut was Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah."
Breaking reports say that Israeli jets have targeted and struck Hezbollah's main command headquarters.
Al Monitor regional correspondent Joyce Karam writes, "Israeli media and Arabiya reporting that target was Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah but reportedly failed. Awaiting confirmations…lot of rumors.
Unconfirmed initial videos show a massive attack, with a black smoke cloud rising high into the early evening sky at dusk:
It is highly unlikely that Nasrallah was at the location, as his whereabouts have long been the most tightly guarded secret of Hezbollah.
Oil is spiking on the news, given this represents peak escalation after a week of increasingly heavier fighting...
The airstrikes appear to be the most devastating and extensive to date on Beirut. According to initial details via Axios:
  • Hezbollah-affiliated al-Manar Television reported that four buildings in southern Beirut were struck.
  • Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Adm. Daniel Hagari described the attack as a "precise strike on the central HQ of Hezbollah which was intentionally built under residential buildings in Beirut in order to use them as human shields."
  • Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu abruptly left a press briefing at the UN after receiving an update from his military adviser.
 












There is no confirmation that the leader of the Hezbollah terrorist organization was killed in the attack. He was the target. Some Iranian sources indicate he is alive, but offer no proof.
 
And threats from Yemen. . .
I do realize that the Houthi rebels in Yemen can bring the Biden/Harris administration to its knees as our administration shackles our military, even when under direct fire, but I don't believe that they can seriously scare the I.D.F., which has the hutzpah to extract meaningful vengeance.



Revenge for Nasrallah assassination on its way: Ansarullah

Tehran, IRNA - A member of Yemen's Ansarullah Political Bureau has warned that the period after the martyrdom of Hezbollah chief, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah will not be the same for the Zionist regime as before.

Revenge for Nasrallah assassination on its way: Ansarullah
According to IRNA, Hazam al-Assad made the remarks in an interview with the Shihab news agency on Saturday evening.
The Zionist enemy has opened a new chapter of confrontation by assassinating the Secretary General of Lebanon's Hezbollah, he said after it was confirmed that Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah was martyred in an Israeli airstrike on Beirut.
The coming days will be full of incidents and great punishments wait for the Zionist regime, the Asnarullah member said.
Al-Assad clarified that Yemen does not get tired of helping the people of Lebanon and Gaza and all the oppressed, and revenge for the latest crime of the Zionist regime is on its way.
 







So the opportunity is now. Let us hope that the rational politicians (and there are many) in Lebanon, turn against Hezbollah oppressors. 1/3 of the population is Christian and opposes Hezbollah. Nearly as many Muslims oppose Hezbollah. So it is a minority now that supports the terrorists and the leadership of the snake that is Hezbollah has been cut off.



 
I'd really like to know what is actually happening in the middle east.
Chaos seems to be the rule of the day.
Israel is, very effectively, playing 'whack a mole' with Hezbollah and Hamas.
Iran's supreme leader is in hiding in a 'secure' location.
Houthi rebels are talking a big game.
Saudi Arabia, Jodan and Egypt are, at diplomatic levels, not objecting to the destruction of Hezbollah.
Lebanon, publicly, stated they will finally enforce the anti-Hezbollah U.N resolution.


So Iran's propaganda media releases this little tidbit of news. Hezbollah leadership has been restored with all new leaders.



So Hezbollah is bringing in the bench warmers. After all, if you were in a bunker that exploded you were on the Varsity team. If you were given a pager or walkie talkie you were a member of their Junior Varsity. So now they have to bring in the bench warmers to fill the top spots. Hmmm. . . at least Israel knows who to target next.





And Quatari owned media, and Hezbollah sympathizers, just released this tidbit of news.





And Israel is now hitting Yemen, doing what the USA failed to do.
