In maybe the most tense day on the northern border since the outbreak of the war with Hamas one week ago, Hezbollah and Hamas attacked Israeli targets six times on Sunday, killing one Israeli civilian, while Israel reacted by striking multiple targets across southern Lebanon.
The Lebanon branch of the Hamas military wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Kassam Brigades, claimed responsibility for the attack.
In the morning, one Israeli citizen was killed and three others were injured by an anti-tank missile fired at a construction site in Moshav Shtula from southern Lebanon.
The IDF in response shelled targets in southern Lebanon with artillery and later attacked additional targets with helicopter gunships.
Shortly afterward, Hezbollah attacked an IDF outpost and a tank with anti-tank guided missiles.

If Iran and Assad called up all of their demons and went all in on attacking Israel, how many fronts would the Israelis be dealing with?
Reminds me of a quote by Marine “Chesty” Puller
“Sir, do you know they’ve cut us off? We’re entirely surrounded.” “Those poor bastards,” Puller said. “They’ve got us right where we want ’em. We can shoot in every direction now.”
Heard an anaylist on the radio say that Hebollah was waaay stronger than Hamas. In a totally different league. Claim they have 100,000 rockets,
. Not good.
Let the popcorn flow....
DeSantis for the 2nd coming
President in Israel
He can bus hamas
To Syria - Egypt - iran
I don’t currently think the Chesty Pullers or the Bedford Forrests would fit into our military.
I try not to think about that one. I’m too distracted worrying about that demon along the Belarus/Polish border.
Praying MUCH for the IDF right now... for strength and fortitude.

On that you are 100% correct.
Lesser known war was called The War of Attrition (1967-1971).
“The conflict, launched by Egypt, was meant to wear down Israel by means of a long engagement and so provide Egypt with the opportunity to dislodge Israeli forces from the Sinai Peninsula, which Israel had seized from Egypt in the Six-Day (June) War of 1967.”

Today it would mean first Iran then Lebanon, then Egypt and Syria, then back to Hamas and Hezbollah, would cause Israel to expend lives and ammunition while security and tourism for Israel would be ended for years. Each northern and southern excursion would require Israeli response.
And Israel cannot afford to trade land for time.
This war would get a helluva lot more serious if Hezbolleh entered into it. I am sure Israel is as prepared as they can be, but this would be a 5x increase in the general violence and kinetics level.
Assad may be making some noise. Then that’ll be it. It’s easy to target him. Unlike Hamas where they can hide underneath the tunnels in Gaza.
GREAT QUOTE
only demon in that area is Russia
More Russia, Russia, Russia mania! Good Lord man, give it a break. How you overlook the Hamas animals and try to blame Russia doesn’t surprise me. Hezbollah, the Iranian mullahs, what you worry? I’m also not surprised that you’re an apologist for Hezbollah and Hamas. They are of the same ilk as your Biden admin fellow travelers and your corrupt Uke oligarchs. You have the blood on your hands from your support of the unnecessary massacre of 450,000 Ukrainian boys. Those war crimes make the actions of Hamas look trivial.
Nothing’s going to happen to Israel. It’s not their time yet.
Israel will never be uprooted again, but will be s3verly judged. So will the whole world. The Wrath of The Lamb is a terrifying thing.
