Israeli soldiers raised the Jewish state’s flag in Lebanon as part of its ongoing assault on Hezbollah terrorists.

A trio of Israel Defense Forces members were seen planting the flag on top of rubble in Maroun El Ras in southern Lebanon on Tuesday, a video shared by KANN News shows.

Maroun El Ras is less than 1 kilometer from the northern Israeli border. The IDF has “occupied” the village and destroyed houses from which Hezbollah was believed to have launched missiles at northern Israel, according to Israeli Energy Minister Eli Cohen.

The soldiers in the KANN News footage appeared to be in the “Iran Garden,” a propaganda tourist attraction that overlooks the Israeli towns of Avivim and Yiron, Ynet News noted.

The Iran Garden was opened at the site of a major battle of the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah war by former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in 2010, the outlet said.

There was also a large cutout of Iranian general Qassem Soleimani pointing toward Israel, according to the Lebanese news source The 961. 

The site featured a model of the Dome of the Rock mosque in Jerusalem, as well as billboards of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini and Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

By Tuesday, the site was mostly reduced to rubble as a result of the year-long fighting between Hezbollah and Israel, which started in the days after the Hamas terror attack on Oct. 7, 2023.

The video comes as the battle between Israel and Hezbollah continued to heat up on Wednesday, with US officials saying that more than 1,100 Americans have fled Lebanon.

Imagine a future where the IDF have DESTROYED Hezbollahistan, and have a ceremony where the Israeli flag is transfered and the God fearing Lebanese take back their country and their flag.

Even though Germany and Japan were pummeled into submission, the civilized world assisted in the peaceful recovery of both countries. Like any free enterprise area, they have their ups and downs. Together, good will overcome evil, even the evil within the Greatest Country On God’s Green Earth. For decades the leftist creepozoids have sung “We Shall Overcome” It is time for us to overcome the evil in our midst. The Shining City On The Hill is still possible. As Margaret Thatcher advised “don’t go wobbly.”

I really think the NY Jets coach wearing a Lebanon flag on his jacket at the last game, which was the anniversy or the attack on Israel, sealed his fate.

He was fired 2 days later.

He sucked over 2.3 years and I’m glad to see him go...especially after wearing that flag.

But the Jets owner NEVER fires anyone mid season and the timing is quite suspicious.

And if that was part of the reason....good.

I never liked him

It is still reminiscent of 9/11 and population wise, proportionally worse.

And there are still live prisoners being held and subjected to God knows what.

GO ISRAEL!!!!

Horse manure! When attacked, strike back with everything you have until your attacker is reduced to a pacifistic state. If you are shot at and not killed, shoot back and eliminate the threat.

I meant the percentage of population killed or injured of 9-11-01 vs 10-07-23...NOT “proportionality” in response.
