The bomb was big enough. It was missiles strikes from a jet. These commanders were gathered in an apartment building having a high level meeting. They struck the gathering and spared most civilians. Other reports say as many as 20 top commanders were killed and included the top Iranian advisor.

I guess they gathered to meet since all other coms are out of use - but Israel still has good eyes and mouths on the ground. Someone ratted on the meeting and helped ID the location.

Serves him right to die. After hearing of this, I think I’ll hand out some candy to celebrate.

Akil (Aqil) was the successor to Fuad Shukr who was killed at the end of July. Shukr was also wanted by the US.

Don’t forget to ululate.

The islamists want to eradicate all Jews and Christians. We need to eradicate as many as we can. Good going, Israel!

If the Cackler gets in, our civilization is in mortal danger. Prayers for President Trump, and for Israel.
🙏🙏🙏

Heard on local news today that this was the mastermind of the bombing of the Marine barracks in 1983.

Israel taking out the trash the U.S. refused to . . . .

[Sunsong]

What is ‘rare’ about it?

[Mr. Mojo]

Three straight days of great news.

Israeli HUMINT in Beirut has always been formidable.

"Rare Israeli airstrike in Beirut kills Hezbollah commander and more than a dozen others"

It won't be "rare" this time next week.

The whole point of the 'splody pagers and walkies was to make way for an invasion of southern Lebanon by disrupting Hezbollah command & control.

[Navy Patriot]

Ya gotta admire the Israeli Military, killing them Hezbollah by the Baker’s Dozen to keep costs down!

Yes it is. I would hope to read one day how Mossad pulled of the exploding pagers plot. We do have the basic outline but that is all. I suspect we will never have the details as that would endanger assets. However, it was brilliant in the extreme.

This feat rivals what our OSS and the British SOE pulled off in WWII. I wonder what their pagers said just before they exploded. Perhaps, "Good Bye, this is Mossad!"
