[Mr. Mojo]

Hezbollah launched over 50 projectiles at IDF soldiers in southern Lebanon overnight between Friday and Saturday, the military announced.

The IDF responded to the attacks with strikes on several Hezbollah terrorists and terror infrastructure sites in southern Lebanon, the military added, including rocket launch positions, weapons storage facilities, and command centers.

The military noted that it remains committed to the ceasefire, emphasizing that it will act to "remove any threat posed to the State of Israel and IDF soldiers."

Israel's Arabic-language military spokesperson Col. Ella Waweya said calm could be achieved if Hezbollah halted all hostile activity and violations of agreements, adding Israel's presence in a security zone aimed to remove threats and dismantle Hezbollah infrastructure, not harm civilians.

Earlier on Saturday, Hezbollah stated that it had targeted IDF soldiers in southern Lebanon, saying that it would "not hesitate to confront any attempt by Israel to seize land in Lebanon" despite its "commitment to the ceasefire," according to Reuters.

Those evil thugs just can’t help themselves. Thier hate is too strong to sit idle. Israel can nuke those bastards as far as I’m concerned.

[Mouton]

The only solution here is wipe them all out. Tired of this crap. Ollie north knew 40 years ago they were trouble.

[Leaning Right]

> Those evil thugs just can’t help themselves. <

And they know when Israel responds, the world will blame Israel.

Thats the result of antisemitism plus very effective Muslim propaganda.

Grabbing Lebanese land (using the pretext of “defending itself”) is part and parcel
of the “Greater Israel” plan. Israel’s expansive vision of “Greater Israel” encompasses:
<><>all the Palestinian territories
<><>Jordan
<><>Lebanon
<><>Syria
<><>Egypt (including parts of the Sinai Peninsula)
<><>Iraq
<><>Saudi Arabia (extending toward Medina)

What this means wrt Israel’s getting US foreign aid tax dollar billions is anybody’s guess.

Since the 1967 War, the idea of “Greater Israel” shifted from an abstract religious vision into an active political program championed by obsessed Zionist factions.

Israeli politicians looking for campaign cash and votes continually advocate for the formal annexation of the West Bank and actively support the expansion of Israeli settlements into those territories.

Israel’s borders are militarily indefensible without the West Bank. This was obvious to me as a kid c. 1970, looking at the 6 Day War. You don’t have to have gone to West Point, nor even graduated from an ROTC program. A little military history and map reading makes it obvious.

If Israel has any plans to take over Jordan, it should be reminded of what happened to the PLO in 1970 when it tried to oust King Hussein.

Apples and oranges.....the PLO did not have mega-billions in US tax dollars
nor did it have the entire catalogue of advanced US aramaments that Israel has at its disposal.

[PsyCon]

Obsessed much?

[butlerweave]

Hezbollah can’t have Calm they need murder death kill so survive ,LOL

[Mr Rogers]

The West Bank is not Jordan, Jordan conquered it in 1948 and then lost it in 1967. 19 years of possession, acquired and then lost in violence, does not make it Jordan.

It is also, for those who have read the Bible, what the New Testament refers to as “Judea and Samaria”. The place where Jesus spent most of his time...

[Uncle Miltie]

Hey, Condi!

Whose fault will it be when Israel righteously retaliates against the cease fire breakers of Hezbollah hiding behind some Christian Human Shields?

[Uncle Miltie]

Liz’s Rolodex-O-Jew-Hate posts again!

[CatOwner]

Just waiting for Trump to verbally berate Israel once again.

[gibsonguy]

too about as long as expected.

[GMThrust]

Anyone notice the wording change to projectiles? I wonder if their stockpile is reduced to throwing rocks (projectiles)?

The Israelis are required by the agreement to leave Lebanon.

The Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States of America, and their allies in the current war, by signing this MoU, declare the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon, and undertake from now on not to initiate any war or any military operation against each other, and to refrain from the threat or use of force against each other, and ensuring the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Lebanon.
