BEIRUT -- Lebanon’s militant Hezbollah group launched one of its deepest strikes into Israel in mid-May, using an explosive drone that scored a direct hit on one of Israel’s most significant air force surveillance systems. This
and other successful drone attacks have given the Iranian-backed militant group another deadly option for an expected retaliation against Israel for its airstrike in Beirut last month that killed top Hezbollah military commander Fouad Shukur. “It is a threat that has to be taken seriously,” Fabian Hinz, a research fellow at the International Institute for Strategic Studies, said of Hezbollah's drone capability.

An Israeli crowd led by hard-right politician Itamar Ben-Gvir stormed Jerusalem's most holy site today in a pilgrimage seen by Muslims as provocative. The
move launches a fresh challenge to rules covering one of the most sensitive sites in the Middle East - with tensions over the compound fuelling violence before. The Palestinian Foreign Ministry condemned the visit as a 'provocative intrusion' that endangered the fragile status quo regarding the Jerusalem compound. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu quickly denied there would be any change to rules that prohibit Jews from praying at the site, which is holy to both Muslims and...

Israeli forces killed a commander of Hezbollah’s elite Radwan unit in a drone strike over southern Lebanon on Monday, officials say. Video

In a statement shared with Newsweek by the IDF, spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari called it "the deadliest attack on Israeli civilians since October 7th," when a Hamas-led attack on Israel killed around 1,200 people, the majority of them civilians, according to Israeli officials. Following
what the IDF called a "situational assessment and the intelligence in our possession," the Israeli military stated that "the rocket launch toward Majdal Shams was carried out by the Hezbollah terrorist organization." The group, however, denied any role in the attack. "The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon categorically denies allegations made by some 'Israeli' media outlets...

After realizing what they have done, Hezbollah is backpedaling with a crazy speed. Just
30 mins ago they claimed responsibility, now they began to deny it Look at all those Hezbollah fanboys, they will delete their initial tweets praising the attack and pretend it never happened . (Seth Frantzman @sfrantzman: Watch carefully which countries and orgs condemn this massacre in the Golan and see who does not. Watch which UN types condemn and which ones “both sides” it. Watch carefully. Now is the time to hold those accountable who won’t condemn the massacre of children in the Golan. *).

So arrogant Hezbollah is embarrassed. In

Last time a Druze's (Tiran Fero) body was snatched (Nov 23, 2022) by "palestinian" Arab terrorists, they spoke in their own language and kidnapped a few palestine Arabs and threatened, and it worked. Besides, the Hezbollah don't want a Druze rebellion in Syria... Meantime their bosses in Iran try to use their media (and paid Grayzone", "intercept", the infamous hate site (even WaPo defined it as such already years ago: "Mondoweiss") and other...
