On Friday’s broadcast of CNN International’s “First Move,” CNN Jerusalem Correspondent Jeremy Diamond stated that “the escalations we’ve seen over the course of the last week and a half have prompted Hezbollah to go further than they have before,” and the strike against Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah is “the latest in a series of escalations that we have seen the Israeli military and its government carry out over the course of the last week and a half.” Diamond said that the Nasrallah strike “marks just the latest in a series of escalations that we have seen the Israeli military and...

Israel launched fresh strikes on Beirut again this afternoon after killing Hezbollah boss Hassan Nasrallah and a senior Iranian commander in an attack on Friday that has rocked the region and threatens drastic escalation. The Israeli military said late Saturday afternoon it had carried out an air strike in the Dahieh area of Beirut - the same district targeted in the strike on Hezbollah's headquarters in the city yesterday. Israeli military chief Herzi Halevi acknowledged that 'challenging days await' for Israel after confirming the death of Hezbollah's secretary-general, with Iran and Hezbollah's allies vowing revenge. 'We are determined to...

“We know what your first strike will be and we promise you a big surprise,” said Hassan Nasrallah Wednesday night in Beirut. “The most important weapons we fought with in the July war (of 2006) were from Syria, not only in Lebanon but also in the Gaza Strip. They forced more than a million settlers to stay in bunkers and frighten Tel Aviv. Nasrallah added that the Americans are now trying to break of Syria as they did Iraq.

Breaking from multiple media outlets, Israel is saying it has killed Hezbollah Leader Hassan Nasrallah, first it was pagers, then walkie-talkies now the leader of Hezbollah has been killed, things are certainly heating up in that part of the world

On Friday morning, we reported on the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) attack on Hezbollah headquarters, the primary goal of which was the removal of Hezbollah's leader, Hassan Nasrallah. The IDF and the Israeli government, it has been reported, did not notify the United States of their intentions in advance of their attack on Hezbollah headquarters in Lebanon. This begs the question: Why should they?The United States had no advance warning of an Israeli strike in Beirut and U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin spoke with his Israeli counterpart as it was ongoing, a Pentagon spokesperson said on Friday.They were the U.S....

Russia on Tuesday condemned Israel’s continuing attacks on Lebanon, stressing that indiscriminate attacks on civilians are unacceptable. "Indiscriminate Israeli strikes on residential areas under the pretext that Hezbollah weapons are being stored there led to massive civilian casualties and significant destruction of civilian infrastructure," Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in a statement. Citing the Lebanese Health Ministry, Zakharova said that at least 492 people, including around 150 women and children, were killed by Israel’s "armed aggression" on Monday. "The number of wounded exceeded 1,600 people. On the morning of Sept. 24, after another attack by Israeli military aircraft in...

The Israeli Air Force carried out massive targeted airstrikes in the Lebanese capital of Beirut on Friday evening, with the military saying it had struck Hezbollah’s main headquarters. An Israeli official confirmed to The Times of Israel that the strikes targeted Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, who was believed to be at the command center at the time. “It’s very hard to imagine him coming out alive from a strike like that,” said the official, as multiple Hebrew media reports cited a growing Israeli assessment that Nasrallah was killed in the strike on the underground headquarters. The attack shook the Lebanese...

Army shows long-range missile on a launcher in a family’s attic, notes secondary explosions after airstrikes; Gallant: Hezbollah’s arsenal being crushed, Nasrallah ‘alone at the top’

Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah gave a speech this afternoon threatening both Israel and the United States of America. Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah gave a speech this afternoon (Friday) full of lies and threats against the State of Israel.

The Lebanese media reported on Saturday that Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was hospitalized after apparently suffering a heart attack. Additional reports said that Nasrallah is also fighting cancer. Israel Hayom quoted Lebanese journalist Jerry Mahar as saying that “an intelligence source confirmed that a senior figure in the Hezbollah organization was hospitalized today in a hospital in the capital Beirut, and other sources confirmed that it was Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, who has been fighting cancer for years.” The reports were not confirmed by any official source in the country and Hezbollah did not respond to the report. …

Yesterday we learned that the leader of Hezbollah, Hasan Nasrallah, would be giving a major speech today to address the conflict in Gaza. This would be his first public speech on the topic and it was generally considered to be a potential turning point. If Nasrallah announced a full scale attack on Israel, that would be a significant second front in the war. Nasrallah spoke this morning and while he did a lot of shouting and made some threats, he stopped short of expanding the war.Although Mr. Nasrallah did not discount the possibility of a wider war that could draw...

After a suspicious absence from the limelight following the start of war between Israel and Hamas terrorists on Oct. 7, Hezbollah’s Sec.-Gen. Hassan Nasrallah announced that he will be giving a major address to his supporters in Beirut, Lebanon on Friday at 3 p.m. local time. The speech is widely expected to reveal the direction the Iranian-backed terror organization Hezbollah intends to take in the conflict with Israel. Israel and the U.S. have so far made major efforts to keep Hezbollah on the sidelines of the war. U.S. President Joe Biden sent a strong message to that effect with his...

Hassan Nasrallah, the leaders of Hezbollah in Lebonon, an Iranian proxy army, spoke today to supporters in Beirut, Lebanon. Nasrallah warned of strikes against US bases in the region saying, “We will attack US bases. They must pay the price.” There have been at least 24 attacks on US bases in the Middle East since Hamas stormed Israel and massacred 1,400 civilians. BREAKING: Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah has started his speech in Beirut. Some quotes so far: "If we want to search for a battle with complete legitimacy, there is no battle like the fight with the Zionists (…) This...

This terrorist madman has been speaking since 9. Pretty wild.

Hassan Nasrallah, the chief of the terrorist Lebanese Hezbollah organization is at it again, seeking to challenge Israel to a fight. He is repeating the same bravado as he did in 2006, which led to the Second Lebanon War. In 2006, Nasrallah underestimated Israel’s response to his provocations. In a cross-border raid on July 12, 2006, Hezbollah terrorists lobbed an anti-tank missile at two armored Israeli Humvees patrolling the Israeli side of the border fence. The ambush left three Israeli soldiers dead. Two Israeli soldiers: Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev were taken prisoners, and ultimately murdered. In July 2022, Nasrallah...

Hezbollah’s comments in 2016 and 2017 suggest it consulted experts about how to cause mass death using other means than just missiles and how to strike at strategic or other infrastructure. That it considered using missiles to target a boat or destroying a ship by other mean suggests the level of terror threats that it has come to. 2016 was the height of the Iran deal era and it also illustrates that despite the US seeking to work with Iran and cases against Hezbollah’s drug trafficking even being slowed down in the US, the organization did not moderate but was...

In a March 21 interview with Al-Mayadeen TV, Hizbullah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah said that if Israel attacked Lebanon's cities and infrastructure, Hizbullah would wage an "all-out war that will know no boundaries or red lines," including the bombing of "petrochemical plants,biological research institutes, centers, and plants, nuclear plants - not just one - installations for the disposal of nuclear waste, and storage facilities for nuclear warheads," most of which were "located either within cities or in their vicinity."

Looks like Hezbollah has a security leak. Apparently just minutes before the Iranian proxy terror army in Lebanon would have launched a massive retaliatory attack on Israel, the IDF destroyed thousands of its launchers and missiles in a pre-emptive strike. Hezbollah attacked anyway, but ended up doing very little damage. And later, Hezbollah suggested that they had finished their revenge for the strike on Fuad Shukr three weeks ago:Israeli warplanes bombarded dozens of targets in southern Lebanon on Sunday to stop what Israel said were preparations for a major attack by Hezbollah, which later said it had fired hundreds of...

The Hezbollah chief also stated in his address that they "launched drones from both south of Litani river, and north of Litani river," a direct violation of UN Security Council Resolution 1701. Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said on Sunday that his group would assess the impact of its rocket and drone attack on Israeli military targets earlier in the day before determining whether it would carry out further attacks to avenge a slain commander. The leader of the Iran-backed armed group said in a televised address that the group had been able to carry out its attack "as planned,"...
