The IDF on Thursday attacked a key Hezbollah-Iranian airstrip in Kilat Jaber, Lebanon, that was used for launching aerial attacks against Israel, in a major escalation between the sides.

Last September, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant revealed pictures showing the joint Hezbollah-Iranian terrorist air base in southern Lebanon, about 20 kilometers from the Israeli border.

Gallant said at the time that at the airport, one can see Iran’s flag flying on the runways from which the ayatollahs’ regime is using to plot against Israel.

Attacking a base that is used by the enemy to attack you is "a major escalation"?

It doesn’t sound like escalation at all to me.

It’s a matter of perspective.
To the Marxist Muslim attacking coalition and their media, when Israel fights back their aggression, whoa! It’s an escalation!

Israel has a right to defend against the genocidal mohamedan seventh century maniacs.

Fislam.

so Israel takes out an enemy airstrip that has been in use launching rocket and missile attacks on Israeli villages

and the news editor mis-characterizes it as a major “escalation”??

only the Israel Defense Forces “escalate war” do they?????
well, we all know that (to these Nazis and Commmies and their Useful Idiots) “Jews aren’t supposed to defend themselves”

Amateurs think strategy and tactics.

Professionals think logistics.

Wipe out this link in the arms conveyor from Iran to Hezbollah. As effective as killing off a battalion of their fighters. And cheaper.

IDF has been in the air over Syria and Lebanon for months. This isn’t news.

Sounds more like a de-escalation of Iran/Hezbollah’s attack capability

Seems to me Hezbollah launching strikes from Lebanon is the major escalation. And an act of war by Lebanon.

Notice how even the Jerusalem Post is a “Liberal” rag, referring not the the Hezbollah attacks from that base in Lebanon as an “escalation”, just the IDF response is an escalation.

Marxists are drawn to “journalism “ as moths to a flame. Gotta control the narrative for their side.

JPost are noxious Leftists, not liberals. All Israeli MSM targeted at the US are Leftist. JPost, Haaretz, Ynet, Times of Israel, i24, etc, are about the same, with some occasionally allowing opinions from conservatives.

Even Israel National News and Israel Hayom are drifting Left, inspiring Israel News Talk Radio, which isn’t really a breaking news site. A couple Christian sites also have good insights.

Israel is supposed to be nice and take all the attacks from Hezbollah without retaliating.
