The IDF battered Hezbollah with the largest attack since the Second Lebanon War (2006) on Monday. The attack was broken down roughly into four massive rounds of air strikes against rockets and other assets. The Iranian proxy group tried hard to fight back but had very limited success in relative terms. The figures from Monday’s attacks, along with the days preceding, were staggering and also led to enormous waves of evacuations of Lebanese civilians from both southern Lebanon and the Bekaa Valley area. The IDF struck over 1,300 targets in around 650 sorties; the Lebanese Health Ministry estimated well over...

Irish President Michael Higgins accuses Israel of leaking the full text of a letter he sent to Iran’s new president as he was sworn in in July, an allegation rejected and denounced by the Israeli embassy. The July 11 letter congratulating Masoud Pezeshkian — whose existence was made public on July 26 by Ireland’s Foreign Ministry but whose full text was then published online on July 29 — drew backlash for its friendly nature; its claim that Iran will play a “crucial role” in achieving Middle East stability, cooperation and “peaceful resolving of disputes”; and its omission of Tehran’s major...

Suddenly, Staff Sgt. (res.) S. spotted a woman in a long dress advancing toward the building from afar. S. reported to her commanders and waited for instructions. According to the messages IDF had relayed to Gaza civilians, anyone insisting on approaching the area would be suspected of attempting to harm ground forces and would be risking their life. "The decision was made to fire near the woman, to make her turn around and leave," S. reveals for the first time about her conduct as one of the few female snipers in the Israeli military. "It's a warning so they don't...

President Biden said the U.S. is doing “everything we can” to prevent wider war in the Middle East on Sunday. “We’re going to do everything we can to keep a wider war from breaking out,” the president said, according to a White House pool report, responding to a question about the region’s “rising tensions.” Biden’s words follow the recent exchange of fire between Israel and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah. More than 30 people were killed in an airstrike by Israel aimed at Hezbollah in Beirut, a Lebanese health official said Saturday.

The IDF stated on Sunday that they can neither confirm nor deny reports on the possible death of Hamas Chief Yahya Sinwar. Among sources consulted by The Jerusalem Post, a top source poured cold water on the notion, another source – who would be expected to have information – said they had no real information on it, while others noted disagreements within the defense establishment.

A Hezbollah source tells the Al-Monitor news site that the senior Hezbollah leaders killed in an IDF strike on Friday were meeting to discuss plans to invade Israel in an October 7-style attack in response to the pager explosions. President Isaac Herzog said much the same in a British TV interview earlier today. The members of the elite Radwan Force were studying “plans for a ground invasion at the heart of the occupied territories,” the source tells Al-Monitor. (Hezbollah seeks to destroy Israel and sees all of its sovereign territory as “occupied.”) Thousands of Hezbollah pagers and other communications devices...

Israeli Prime Minsiter Benjamin Netanyahu issued statements in Hebrew and English on Sunday after the Israeli military pounded the Iranian-backed terror group in southern Lebanon, following several days of stunning strikes. Netanyahu spoke after Israel had targeted hundreds of Hezbollah rocket launchers and other Hezbollah sites on Saturday and Sunday in Lebanon, and Hezbollah fired scores of rockets at Israel, causing relatively little damage.

Former Mossad chief Tamir Pardo has claimed that Israel should have agreed to release all terrorists held in Israeli prisons in exchange for all the hostages kidnapped on October 7, Kikar Hashabbat reported. The vast majority of the hostages are civilians, including children; most of the terrorists have blood on their hands. In a recent podcast interview, Pardo said that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar offered at the start of the war, before Israel began a ground offensive into Gaza, that Israel release all terrorists in exchange for all hostages. "Israel chose revenge," Pardo said. "And Israel knew that it could...

The previous Rocket Barrage against Northwestern Israel consisted of about 15 Rockets.

In an official document submitted to the US court, the UN, backed by the US Department of Justice, claims that UNRWA employees who participated in the October 7th massacre be granted immunity from prosecution.A full 10% of UNRWA employees are affiliated with a terror group, and at least 12 UNRWA employees participated directly in the October 7 massacre: Six were part of the wave of terrorists who breached the border fence and participated in the assault, two helped kidnap Israelis, two were tracked to sites where scores of Israelis were massacred, and other coordinated logistics for the attack - including...

...."On Wednesday, The United Nations General Assembly voted overwhelmingly to hand over half of Jerusalem, the Wailing Wall, The Temple Mount, Old Jerusalem, and the tomb of Jesus Christ to the Palestinians.

The UN voted to turn over the Jewish Quarter, the Christian Quarter, the Chuch of the Holy Sepulchre, several synagogues, numerous Christian holy sites, the Wailing Wall, Solomon’s Throne, the Via Dolorosa, and much more to the Palestinian Muslims.

It's just not fair, I tell you. Israel manufacturing pagers ordered by terrorists loaded with explosives is not fighting fair. They shouldn't have disguised the explosive. They should have warned the terrorists. Volker Türk, the U.N. high commissioner for human rights, claims that the pager attacks using Hezbollah electronics not only "violated international human rights law" but also appear to violate international humanitarian law’s key principles in carrying out attacks: "distinction between civilians and combatants, proportionality, and precautions."As I said, Israel is not playing fair. They should have let Hezbollah blow up 3,700 Israelis to achieve the "proportionality" test of...

McCabe personally saw to it that Gen. Flynn was fired: After Yate's pressuring of WH lawyer McGahn on Jan. 30, 2017, didn't accomplish their goal, McCabe sat VP Pence down in Situation Room on Feb. 10 & had him read his 302s on Flynn. The NSC chief was fired 3 days later

Israeli Defense Officials are expecting Hezbollah to launch a Major Attack on Israel in the coming 12-24 Hours, possibly consisting of Hundreds of Long-Range Rockets and Missiles against Northern Israel as well as Military Targets in the Center. Strikes today by the Israeli Air Force are intended to both Destroy the Offensive Capability of Hezbollah to carry out such an Attack, as well as Deter any Future Large-Scale Attacks; however, if Hezbollah is set on launching such an Attack, their Rocket and Missile Capabilities are Vast, making it nearly Impossible to Totally Prevent.

On Saturday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Velshi,” NBC News Chief International Correspondent Keir Simmons reacted to National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan praising the death of Hezbollah commander Ibrahim Aqil in a recent Israeli strike as a positive outcome because it means that Aqil was brought to justice for his involvement in the Beirut barracks bombing in 1983 that killed 241 American military personnel by stating that “Of course, this, what is an assassination is not bringing somebody to justice.” While discussing recent Israeli strikes, Simmons said, “The Israeli Defense Forces saying that the strike killed 16 Hezbollah members, including 12 senior...

WASHINGTON, DC: Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) stated that her office was "tagged with blood-splattered signs" accusing her of supporting terrorism after she criticized Israel for launching attacks in Lebanon and Syria, which included exploding communication devices. Posting on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), AOC wrote on Friday, September 20, "Yesterday my House office was tagged with blood-splattered signs accusing me of supporting terrorism after I questioned the pager operation, which clearly runs counter to US policy." "They must live under a rock to not know I don’t take well to bullies," she added, sharing a paragraph from the...
