  1. I wonder if this had anything to do with disrupting their communications with the pager/walkie-talkie thing.

  2. Ibrahim Aqil was a “principal leader” of the group responsible for bombings in Beirut in 1983 that killed over 250 Americans.

    Israel eliminated him in one precision strike. For context, the US has been spending 11 figures (>$100 billion) dollars annually on defense since the late 1970s and spent somewhere between $5 and $8 trillion on the global “War on Terror” between 2001 and 2020.

    No wonder the US wants Israel to agree to a “ceasefire”. Israel is making the US look bad.

  3. This whole operation has just been so tight it’s outrageous. Scare them off the phones, scare them off the pagers, scare them off the radios, wax their top commanders when they meet in person.

    They should have known this was coming after radios blew up.

  4. BBC headline just lists total casualties.. no details.. Yes.. collateral damage is their whole perspective..but leaves IDF branded as wanton killers, with no mention of the wanton killers who got killed. 🤧

  5. Completely unrelated, but the situation in Lebanon drew my attention to it; why is the second largest US embassy in Beirut? Like, that complex they’re building is *massive* in a country of like 6 million people.

  6. I’ve got a super common white guy name, but holy shit, these 12 dudes have like 8 names between them
