The IDF says it has detected preparations by Hezbollah to launch rockets and missiles and is preemptively striking in Lebanon “to remove the threat.”
Fighter jets are striking Hezbollah targets that “posed an imminent threat to the citizens of the State of Israel,” the army says, adding that “life-saving instructions” will be sent out in some parts of the country.
Alarms are meanwhile sounding in several northern communities.

Keep in mind that Lebanon is the home to many Antiochian Orthodox plus Maronite and Melkite Catholic Christians.
And that means what exactly? To not retaliate because Lebanon has a multitude of Christian human shields?
beginning of…?
Why does Russia/putin have such a woody for allying with Iran?
Thank you!
Thank you bobcat62.
I am not real good with links.
Estimates in Israel:
Hezbollah will try to attack Tel Aviv in the coming hours.
Hezbollah: We have completed the first phase with complete success, which is the phase of targeting Israeli barracks and sites to facilitate the passage of drones towards their desired target deep inside the entity, and the marches have passed, thank God, as planned.

It’s possible that in order to stop Trump from winning, our nation may be in a full on — boots on the ground — war in the middle east by mid-September or early October. The U.S. Obama/Biden/Harris administration just may be on the side of Hezbollah. Democrats will say we can’t have an election at such a “critical” time.
I put nothing past them these days.
Thanks!
From what I hear - enormous U.S. pressure is applied on Israel NOT to broaden the strikes. Not for nothing the United States Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Charles Brown, is here!
Isn’t at least one NAOC bird always in flight?
Thanks for posting though.
For those who wake up now, we will summarize the details that are known up to this stage:
Hizbollah planned to carry out a broad attack on Israeli territory early in the morning, in response to the assassination of the organization's chief of staff
The attack was foiled by the Air Force
Hezbollah managed to launch about 200 rockets and UAVs in the northern region in the last few hours
At this point, there are no known Israeli casualties as a result of the launches to the north
The air force is still in the skies of southern Lebanon - preparing to thwart further attacks during the next few hours
Special instructions for the rear from Gush Dan to the north - limiting gatherings, workplaces only in places where there are protected spaces available
Israel signals: our attacks in Lebanon - "targeted" to remove the threat from Hezbollah.
Stuff is about to get real hairy in Ukraine too. The idiots in DC are very capable of hitting the world warmonger daily double here.
Off to bed but will follow this thread later.
