International Hezbollah ‘enters battle of reckoning’ with Israel as world powers urge restraint

Millions of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck yet we’re sending billions to Israel and Ukraine. Yeah, that makes sense.
Millions if not hundreds of millions of Americans decide to proactively become the cucks of that shitty little rogue state. Not going to cry for them.
 
Lmao on what planet is any of that going to stop Arabs from Hating jews? They won't stop until every last jew has been slaughtered, it's their mission. Your negotiating with a bunch of 8th century barbarians.

I'm not trying to absolve Israel of responsibility , but you can not negotiate in "good faith" with these people

Who had the genius idea to place Jews in the middle of an area where everyone hates them as you said?

Why didn’t Europe give them part of Germany or something where everyone around them loved them?
 
Might be worth changing the thread title to “Israel incursion into Lebanon” or something conflict megathread.

Put yourself in their shoes, you want your country to be the battleground in a proxy war between Iran and the US? That country would be turned into rubble.

I can see why sunni/christian Lebanon would be hestitant to throw down with the shia Hezbollah/Iran group. They dont want Hezbollah there, but arent willing to pay the cost for that expulsion.
Then they should have just let Israel continue to do it for them in 2006 instead of lying by signing a UN resolution promising to do so if Israel signs that they will withdraw
 
Rough couple of weeks for terrorists in the middle east.

Between getting their balls blown off by their pagers and their stockpile of weapons getting annihilated in three days, you'd think they would start to realise god isn't on their side.

Oh well.

Sucks for the citizens in Lebanon though, alot of them don't support Hezbollah
 
Negotiate in good faith for the first time. Stop ethnic cleansing and committing genocide.Stop stealing land in the WB. Stop kidnaping, raping, and torturing Palestinian civilians. Just a couple thoughts.
Some of you are really naïve about Islam. It’s as if you don’t think these people actually believe in what they say they believe in.
 

Israeli strikes on Lebanon continue as Iran says Hezbollah ‘cannot stand alone’​

Israel hits targets in southern Lebanon, Hezbollah fires rockets into northern Israel, and Lebanese PM heads to UN
By Jason Burke

Israel struck Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon and the Iran-backed Islamist militant organisation fired rockets into northern Israel on Tuesday, a day after a wave of Israeli airstrikes killed nearly 500 people in Lebanon and sent tens of thousands fleeing for safety.

Hezbollah said it had targeted several Israeli military targets overnight including an explosives factory about 35 miles (60km) into Israel and the Megiddo airfield near the town of Afula, which it attacked three separate times.

Officials in Israel said more than 50 projectiles were fired from Lebanon into northern parts of the country on Tuesday morning, most of which were intercepted.

The fighting has raised fears that the US, Israel’s close ally, and Iran, which has proxies across the Middle East, will be drawn into a wider conflict. On Tuesday Iran’s president, Masoud Pezeshkian, expressed fears of a regional conflagration but said Hezbollah, which Iran helped to found in 1983, “cannot stand alone” against Israel.

“Hebzollah cannot stand alone against a country that is being defended and supported and supplied by western countries, by European countries and the United States,” Pezeshkian said in an interview with CNN translated from Farsi to English.

The EU’s foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, described the escalating conflict between Israel and Hezbollah as almost a “full-fledged war”, as world leaders gathered in New York for the opening of the 79th United Nations general assembly.


“If this is not a war situation, I don’t know what you would call it,” Borrell said before the UN gathering, citing the increasing number of civilian casualties and the intensity of military strikes. He said efforts to reduce tensions were continuing but Europe’s worst fears about a spillover were becoming a reality.

That warning was echoed by the US, with a senior state department official saying Washington was discussing “concrete ideas” with allies and partners to prevent the war from broadening.

Diplomatic efforts appear to have had little impact so far, with Lebanon recording more casualties on Monday than in any other single day since the 15-year civil war that started in 1975.

Israeli officials have said the recent rise in airstrikes on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon is designed to force the group to agree to a diplomatic solution, cease its own attacks on Israel or unilaterally withdraw its forces from close to the contested border.

Many experts and officials question the assumption that air power or other military operations can achieve such strategic aims. Others point out that Hezbollah has repeatedly pledged to stop firing into Israel if there is a ceasefire in Gaza.

A US state department official said: “I can’t recall, at least in recent memory, a period in which an escalation or intensification led to a fundamental de-escalation and led to profound stabilisation of the situation.”

After almost a year of war against Hamas in Gaza, Israel has shifted its focus to its northern frontier. About 60,000 people were evacuated from northern Israel in the days after the 7 October raid by Hamas into southern Israel that triggered the conflict, and they have been prevented from returning by the ongoing exchanges of fire across the contested border with Lebanon.

Yoav Gallant, Israel’s defence minister, has said the campaign of airstrikes will continue until the residents are back in their homes. He said Monday marked a “significant peak” in the nearly year-long conflict.

“This is the most difficult week for Hezbollah since its establishment – the results speak for themselves,” Gallant said. “Entire units were taken out of battle as a result of the activities conducted at the beginning of the week in which numerous terrorists were injured.”

The Israeli military said Israeli strikes had hit long-range cruise missiles, heavyweight rockets, short-range rockets and explosive drones.

Though Hezbollah has remained defiant, there is no doubt that the waves of strikes have further ramped up pressure on the group, which was already reeling from heavy losses last week when thousands of pagers and walkie-talkies used by its members exploded.

That operation killed 42 and wounded several thousand. It was widely blamed on Israel, which has not confirmed nor denied responsibility.

The US has said it would send a small number of additional troops to the Middle East, given the escalating tensions.

The Lebanese prime minister, Najib Mikati, urged the UN and world powers to deter what he called Israel’s “plan that aims to destroy Lebanese villages and towns”. He said he was cancelling a scheduled cabinet meeting to fly to New York to “make further contacts” with leaders to try to end the violence.

In Lebanon, displaced families slept in shelters hastily set up in schools in Beirut and the coastal city of Sidon. With hotels quickly booked to capacity or rooms priced beyond the means of many families, those who did not find shelter slept in their cars, in parks or along the seaside.

Well-wishers offered up empty apartments or rooms in their houses in social media posts, while volunteers set up a kitchen at an empty petrol station in Beirut to cook meals for the displaced.

In the eastern city of Baalbek, the state-run National News Agency reported that queues formed at bakeries and petrol stations as residents rushed to stock up on essential supplies in anticipation of further strikes.

In northern Israel, Galilee Medical Center said two people arrived with minor head injuries from a rocket falling near their car. Several others were being treated for light wounds from running to shelters and traffic accidents when alarms sounded.

Joe Biden’s administration has repeatedly called for the Israel-Lebanon border crisis to be resolved through diplomacy, but in a call with Gallant on Monday he said the US “remains postured to protect US forces and personnel and determined to deter any regional actors from exploiting the situation or expanding the conflict”.

French officials have requested an emergency UN security council meeting to discuss the situation and called on all sides to avoid a regional conflagration.

China’s top diplomat, Wang Yi, expressed support for Lebanon and condemned what he termed “indiscriminate attacks against civilians”, Beijing’s foreign ministry said on Tuesday.

Some of you are really naïve about Islam. It’s as if you don’t think these people actually believe in what they say they believe in.
So the Jewish state colonizes, ethnic cleansing, commits genocide, rapes, murders, tortures, steals land of nonJews supported by the West and you blame Islam.

I have no love for Islam. I've only received yellows twice and once was for comments about Islam.

Forget the Jewish state for a second, which I am no fan of either, let’s just focus on Islam. Do you think they believe in their holy book and its teachings, or do you think they don’t?

I agree if only because the "urging restraint" thing is such a ridiculous farce at this point.

Pure doublespeak.

Some do and some don't. Similar to Christians and Jews. I am not a fan of religion and anit gettng carded again for my thoughts on ALL religions.

Last time I saw at Clemson the nice lady serving coffee said "god bless you" when I thanked her for a coffee. Strange af.

In Texas it’s regular to hear “god bless” as a goodbye.
