Israel and the United States have blamed Hezbollah for the attack. Hezbollah has denied responsibility.

Israel denies involvement but it seems like Hezbollah got an answer for killing those kids who were playing soccer.

Yes,we just bombed something (someone) in Beirut.

My daughter is in Jerusalem with friends right now. I told my wife to call her and make sure she comes home promptly.....just in case those sirens go off......

I still love it here!

I remember Beirut when it was still considered “the Paris of the Eastern Mediterranean.” (By reports from Paris these days, it might still be.)

Every time one of those dies, another one takes his place. Israel won't ever run out of Hezbollah military advisers to take out. Roaches survive even the worst natural disasters, so, IDf bombings are nothing in comparison.

True.

I wonder what life insurance premiums hezbollah must pay.

Looks like that explosion of stored kaboomy stuff that happened in a warehouse in the port a few years back?

Wow! I never saw a video of that before—just the aftermath.

Absolutely massive!
